I'll tell you this: None of us like Mitch McConnell because of the horrible things he's said and done as Senator.
But he had a medical incident today, and I saw a lot of well-wishers on our side. As it should be.
But when Senator John Fetterman had a medical episode, there were legions of Republicans who made fun and mocked him.
We are NOT the same.

Just saw OPPENHEIMER, an in-depth character exploration of the people who built the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that killed a quarter million Japanese civilians. Film is 3 hours long and features zero Japanese people. – at Pomona, CA
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The film ´´Oppenheimer ´´ is a biographical drama based entirely on the life of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer. There are no records of him ever meeting a Japanese person so it would not make sense to create such scene as the project is a biopic, not a work of fiction

One thing that I would not do, personally, is put a picture of a 19 year old girl crying as she gets dragged off to jail because she self-managed an abortion, in the fucking newspaper
Yet another spectacular failure by @KenyaAirways in Mombasa. Seven hour delay for a one hour flight

I want to be very clear that abortion bans, the rise of pro-natalism rhetoric, the dismantling of affirmative action, and voter suppression are very much so related. The common denominator is the great replacement theory, and the white supremacist fear of losing political control

“It is time for everybody in our legislature including the ones who would like to walk around with an ar15 lapel pin, it is time for every one of them to face the voters and if they're not going to do something, then voters are going to have to vote them out”

"Every precedent is on the chopping block" SCOTUS have already hinted that gay marriage, interracial marriage, contraception are their sights.
What can we do? #VoteBlueEveryElection & get our family and friends to do the same.
Time to expand the court!

“Once you normalize the idea that you can treat same-sex couples differently, you’re well on your way to rolling back recognized rights.”

I'm tired of dishonest arguments.
Nobody took out student loans expecting the federal government to bail them out.
People took out student loans because education has been priced out of reach.
People took out student loans believing they would be able to pay them back.

The GOP liked to call Dems victim shoppers. But a woman who doesn’t make wedding sites, has never been asked to make a gay wedding site, suing SCOTUS so she wouldn’t have to make a gay wedding site if she ever decided to make wedding sites, is a new level of victim shopping.

I don’t think most Americans know that we came within two votes of losing our democracy today, and they’ll continue to use their sacred votes to elect people who would appoint judges that would have otherwise cancelled their votes.

I hope people are paying attention to what's happening in Missouri right now - where the state AG is holding up a pro-choice ballot measure by claiming that it would cost the state BILLIONS of dollars to restore abortion rights missouriindependent.com/2023…
