All of the other critiques implied, I also want to say this. When she pats her butt like it looks great?

It doesnโ€™t.

And we need to know that.

Ohio requires buses for private school kids. Public school students have to find their own ride School districts are responsible for transporting private and charter school kids, leaving thousands of public school students behind

the Ohio legislatureโ€™s response to a Dayton student being shot and killed on public transit was to ban school districts from giving students bus passes

SCOTUS now operates on the same premise as Trump: who or what will stop them? The notion that they wouldnโ€™t do something unpopular with no basis in law (which they already did with Roe) should be dismissed upfront. Even if we ignore Roe, Jan 6 is still unpopular, and Trump v US exists.

I honestly think all these people who went to law school can't see what's happening right in front of their faces because it means they suffered through law school and the bar for nothing

D.C. Mayor Calls Trump's Police Takeover โ€˜Unsettling And Unprecedentedโ€™ โ€œIโ€™m going to work every day to make sure itโ€™s not a complete disaster,โ€ said Muriel Bowser, who refrained from attacking Trump for infringing on her role.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser today called Trump's decision to take over D.C. police + send National Guard troops into the city "unsettling and unprecedented."

She also didn't condemn him or his authoritarian move even once in her 45-min press event. www.huffpost.com/entry/muriel...

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states โ€”ย which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas โ€”ย is that 50 is a round number

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever ๐ŸŒบ, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

I do not know how people are expected to go right back to work after losing someone important to them, like, you bury your parent on Sunday and have to work on Monday. Our society is fucked up in the way it doesn't respect death, grief, birth, joy, etc.

Multiple Men Have Impersonated ICE Agents To Kidnap And Assault Women In a letter shared with HuffPost, the Democratic Womenโ€™s Caucus urged DHS to mandate ICE agents to โ€œvisibly and clearly identify themselves" when making arrests.

Multiple men have impersonated ICE agents to assault women & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social is demanding action.

โ€œPeople cannot tell the difference between a real agent & a criminal & that makes everyone less safe โ€“ especially immigrant women who are the most vulnerable," @velazquez.house.gov told me.

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Trans people in Georgia prisons are being forced to detransition. Now theyโ€™re suing. - The Current A group of incarcerated transgender women and men have sued Georgia corrections officials, challenging a new law that prevents them from receiving gender-affirming medical care, arguing that it violates the Eighth Amendment and will have "catastrophic consequences" for the nearly 300 other people in Georgia state prisons.

A new lawsuit accuses Georgia of violating the Eighth Amendmentโ€™s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment over its new ban on incarcerated people receiving gender-affirming care.

I GENUINELY am astounded that people are hitching their wagon to โ€œthe military would never fire on their fellow Americansโ€ as a response to Trump siccing the National Guard on D.C. and openly practicing and planning a coup to remain in office

White people live in a whole different reality
