In 2020, 14 local Spanish women of the small town of Aguilar de la Frontera took 2 months to create a giant #rainbow flag which stretched along a street in their town #WomensArt

President Biden and Vice President Harris attending the funeral of Melissa Hortman 💙

You might ask: who is the Trump administration targeting? Here’s one story. Madonna “Donna” Kashanian, a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the U.S. for 47 years, was detained by ICE while gardening outside her home in New Orleans.

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

The video of President Biden paying his respects just broke me. www.startribune.com/melissa-hort...

Eager to soothe Trump’s wounded ego, the Supreme Court ended nationwide injunctions today. Trump is crowing, but this just means we’ll take our smashing wins in 4 district courts and turn them into wins in 94 district courts. People born here are citizens, period.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

We're committed to delivering the largest midterm electoral defeat of a sitting president in history—that means getting to work right now with organizers in every congressional district.

As someone who mostly reads horror, I'll never understand the vitriol towards "cozy" books. People say they are escapist, unserious, allowing readers to avoid big issues. And I'm like, girl, WHEN did your dark romance book fix society? Did I BLINK and miss your detective thriller solving crime?

The Supreme Court has imperiled the health of millions, denying Medicaid patients access to their preferred provider. But Justice Jackson’s dissent warns of a secondary blow in the court's decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, one that threatens a foundational civil rights law.

🥛🧵Pennsylvania dept of Ag is 🛑 warning 🛑 residents to throw out raw milk purchased from Meadow Views Jerseys on or after April 1 due to contamination with campylobacter (causes a type of DYSENTERY). TL;DR: Don’t drink raw milk. It has no benefits over pasteurized and it contains harmful organisms.

Despicable. Thousands of people rely on Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings and pap smears, STI testing, and so many more essential services. Women should not be penalized for needing reproductive health care.

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

People are really overlooking the fact that Black women are the base of the Democratic Party and that we never go wrong with who we support. But you all go on ahead and run this party and country into the ground. You'll only have yourselves to blame.

What’s happening in Belarus is bigger than one regime. It’s a warning. ⚠️🚨 #HRC59 #Belarus

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 151 Another day where our Dems really are fighting back despite what many would like to believe. Ready? 🧵

After ICE agents entered two Diocesan churches, San Bernardino’s Bishop Rojas adamantly speaks out: “Cease these tactics immediately, in favor of an approach that respects human rights.”

Really tired of people throwing @kamalaharris.com under the bus to praise Mamdani. You know what the biggest difference was between their campaigns? She was running nationally for President of the United States while he was running in a Democratic primary in overwhelmingly Democratic NYC.

Ready to run for office 🥰

This is beyond unconscionable. How can we stop this?

Beware of politicians making promises they will not have the authority to keep. And as the say goes, "Watch the hunter's bow, not the hunter's tears."

contrarian.substack.com/p/you-cant-b... What a legacy this man is creating for himself. Congress should be utterly ashamed for contributing to this clusterf**k. I hope all the money they are making from the market is worth it. We are only as strong as our weakest link…our government
