If you need a librarian, I'll put my hand up!

It's called mansplaining in women's circles 😂

For real! What's up with that? Seems like somebody ought to arrest them. @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov

This is tremendous! #teachon

Measles death of unvaccinated child in Texas outbreak is 1st fatality in US in a decade An unvaccinated school-aged child in Texas has died of measles, the first associated with an outbreak that has infected more than 100 people.

This news truly breaks my heart.

We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line!

THANK YOU, Abbott Elementary. Thank you, also, for the seemingly simple scene of how beloved it is to hear a book be read aloud 💚

Good thing it wasn't magical beans that make you sparkly fart

Maine governor tells Trump ‘see you in court’ amid faceoff over trans athletes Trump threatened to withhold federal education funding if Maine does not comply with his executive order and bar transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports.

Donald Trump’s petty threats are beneath the Office of the President.

Governor Janet Mills embodies servant leadership.

Should be doing a Dem presser EVERY DAY.

FINALLY! MORE OF THIS.

Nope. Nopeity nope. Mr. Rubio you are wrong wrongity wrong. #nodealswithRussia

The DOGE dipshit brigade continues to demonstrate complete incompetence and a profound ignorance about every system they’re in the process of breaking. It’s like putting that kid from the third row back in your history class in charge. You know, the one with very firm opinions and 1.5 GPA.

Ukraine's Zelenskyy says Trump is living in a Russian-made 'disinformation space' Trump said at Mar-a-Lago that Zelenskyy’s rating stood at 4%.

@pocan.house.gov ? @baldwin.senate.gov ? @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social ? We're not seeing you standing up for Democracy by amplifying those being damaged by this regime's dangerous practices. YOU are our voice and you're being too damn silent.

Stop fundraising and start raising hell

I'm on board with that.

Trans rights are human rights is not a political statement.

Minnesota rules.

Love to you.

Don’t forget Senators & Representatives do come home on weekends.

An airport is a great place to encounter them.

#BlackHistoryMonth

When I was a teacher, my students and I always took time this month to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought against injustice to achieve equal rights.

May we all reflect on our past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.
