I am dedicated to Ward 7 and making it stronger for all of us, not a select few. It’s important more than ever to vote for someone who will prioritize the voices of Ward 7 neighbors and not outside interests. Vote for me, #10 on the ballot but always putting Ward 7 first 💛

I'm supporting @Eboni_RoseT for Ward 7 Councilmember. Not only has she shown she's dedicated to supporting children and families as the current State Board of Education Representative for Ward 7 ... she's smart, compassionate, and up to the task.

💔💔💔💔 wapo.st/3QFmPZe These precious kids were not "struck and killed by van," they were struck and killed by a DRIVER. Our vehicles are death machines, & kids are just trying to walk to school. Keeping people alive is our #1 responsibility as drivers. @washingtonpost

Bus driver to passenger sitting in wheelchair section: “Can you move to another seat? A guy in a wheelchair needs to sit here.” Passenger: “Why? They should have their own vans to transport them.” The belief in segregation of disabled people is still alive and well.

I want everyone to keep in mind that this ruling comes from a situation that never happened. Yup, a hypothetical story from a bigoted lady’s mind was used to now decide that businesses can discriminate against LGBTQ+ folks.
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a gay rights defeat, Supreme Court rules for Christian designer who objects to making gay couples’ wedding websites.
