Good news! Thereโ€™s still a President that children can look up to and be left alone with if need be. Thank you President @barackobama.bsky.social for serving with compassion and integrity. You continue to inspire and invest in nationโ€™s future. #yeswecan #yeswedid #yeswewill

Itโ€™s really disheartening that our nationโ€™s highest Court has said that the rights won by my parents are now denied to their grandchildren. The racial divide is back front and center. #District18 #wethepeople #onepersononevote #SCOTUS #votingrightsact

Say it plain. And make it clear. We are a nation built by immigrants and so many others- un-American or at least not the America where I hope to live. #wethepeople #ourcountry #webelonghere

Madam Speaker- your leadership, determination and commitment to democracy are inspiring. You broke a glass ceiling and always stood for #wethepeople. You knew when to give a speech and when to tear up one. Thank you for elevating women - when we succeed America succeeds! #nancypelosi

๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸพLeaders donโ€™t blame - they listen, find common ground and win. The #gopshutdown is a sham thatโ€™s hurting the American people. Call the Congress back into session to open negotiations and actually help people. #wethepeople #SNAP #obamacare

She is a certified, legitimately elected member of the United States Congress. She has a Constitutional right to be sworn-in. Swear her in without delay. #wethepeople #adelitagrijalva #swearherin

FACTS: 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities

And, almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children.

SNAP feeds America. In the land of plenty, no one should go hungry. #saveSNAP #feedveterans #feedchildren #usetheemergencyfund

Our military and their families should not have to go hungry because of this #GOPshutdown. The are protecting and defending a government that is not standing up for them. #veterans #wethepeople #openthegovernment

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You donโ€™t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you donโ€™t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as youโ€™re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if youโ€™re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Donโ€™t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that youโ€™ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney โ€” no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

This disrespect of our judicial system demonstrates the overall philosophy of this so called President- you can break any law and do anything as long as youโ€™re on my team. 10

Shameless.

Absolutely! Until she is sworn-in she cannot do official Congressional business for the people in her District! They deserve representation and she must be sworn-in!
