Using democratic tools as platforms, right-wing politicians in the last decade have advocated for fetal personhood, spread misinformation about a non-recognized medical condition called “post-abortion syndrome,” and threatened sexual violence victims seeking abortion rights with criminalization.
How the hell are they choosing addresses to target?
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

🚨The White House belongs to all of the American people‼️
This idiot has no right to do this without our consent and approval from our representatives in congress ‼️‼️
You need to see this…
Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

WATCH: “The president and DOJ just deleted the study from the website.”
@jwilliamj8.bsky.social & @thejaampod.bsky.social crew note Trump’s DOJ conspicuously deleted a study that shows far-right extremist violence is actually far more prevalent. (Backed up by CATO, Grok, etc)

He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.
