DC residents do not have a voice in Senate Committees or on the Senate Floor. DC residents have no say in the determination of the leadership for federal agencies, and who sit on federal court benches even for the federal courts within DC's boundaries. #DCStatehood #HR51

It is clear that Republicans care more about their firearms then they do about children. #GunReform Where is the well regulated that is part of our constitutional rights? Gun are clearly not well regulated. tinyurl.com/22p7tpr9

pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

DeSantis keeps saying, “Florida is where woke goes to die.” It would be more correct to say that “Florida is where people against woke go to die.” The Republicans base is getting older and is dying off as their hate has caused Millennials to support the Dems, even as they age.

Washington DC has more people living in it than both Vermont and Wyoming. Yet, DC has 0 representatives in US Congress, while VT & WY each have 3. Time to end taxation without representation. #DCStatehood #HR51

Puerto Ricans have served and died faithfully defending the United States in every war since becoming part of the US More than 250,000 have served in the U.S. military. Puerto Rico has earned the right to be at state. #Statehood4PuertoRico

A huge justification for making Puerto Rico a state is that Captain America actually has the Puerto Rico flag on his suit. So let’s make Captain America a full America and grant statehood to Puerto Rico! #PRstatehood

"FBI says people dressed as ICE agents are committing a string of crimes" we know, they're ICE agents, we're all watching it too

MAGAts turned anti-pandemic options into political issues converting proven option like vaccines into partisan litmus tests. The result is more Reps than Dems died of COVID and life expectancy in the US fell by 2 years.

#BreonnaTaylor was alive for 6 MINUTES after being fatally shot by LMPD officers in the hallway. She fell to the floor, coughing as she struggled to breathe, fighting for her life. But LMPD made no effort to save her... they left her to die. tinyurl.com/y57t6cxl

Life is a mixture of sadness, loss, anger, exhaustion, confusion & grief combined with happiness, joy beauty and loveliness. In most cases, you decide which side of that coin you focus on. Some days are hard, some days are unbearable, but it’s better to shoot for the stars.

Republicans claims they are fighting for “freedom,” but their focus is on increasing their power to dictate the choices of others and to increase the control of their billionaire masters while doing nothing to slow the gun violence in our schools. #VoteBlue24ToSaveAmerica

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

#GVerse MoveOn calls for Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov to step down from leadership. “Around 80% of MoveOn members that the group surveyed said that Schumer should quit his leadership position.” It is time to let someone else take the wheel & lead!

Mifepristone is safer than Viagra and Penicillin. The proposed ban on it is just another example of the Republican’s war on women. It also demonstrated the need for removing biased federal judges. #WarOnWomen #MifepristoneIsSaferThanViagra tinyurl.com/ycknvy8d

I really hope the lesson people take from Elijah McClain is not "It's sad because he was so sweet" but rather "No amount of gentleness & respectability can protect a black person from the arbitrary wrath of bad police." #BlackLivesMatter tinyurl.com/ycyehclj

The culture of right wing distortion has resulted in 23% of folks saying that the US government is controlled by satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking ring - political violence survey by Dr Wintemute, UC Davis, July 22. #VoteBlue

When MAGAts say they’re voting for the felon because they’re pro-life, I can’t take them seriously. Because the felon has not proven himself to value lives. For the love of all that is noble! - read his statements and show me how this man values life

The Democratic senators who yes today on the stop gap funding need to lose their primaries.

100 years ago on August 10, 1921 Franklin D. Roosevelt was stricken with Polio. The US has been polio free since 1979. Because #VaccinesWork

Elijah McCain was killed because he was reported as sketchy but not threatening. The police immediately slammed him into a wall. He was put in a chokehold and then sedated which caused cardiac arrest. The officer made joking pictures about the “arrest”. tinyurl.com/ycyehclj

Congress needs to pass rational gun control. We need some “well regulated“ that is in the 2nd amendment that even Reagan supported as a start. #GunControl

You can’t claim to be a Christian and hate people. That’s not Christianity. Just because you go to church regularity doesn’t make you a Christian any more than living in a garage would make you a car. You must live the lesson of Matt 25:31-46.

After May 2021 the vast majority of folks in the ICUs with COVID were there because they believed delusional rants on Twitter, Fox & OAN that the vaccine would harm them. Covid did not care if you believe in it or not. #VaccinesWork

Nicholas Heyward was shot and killed by a police officer while playing cops and robbers with his friends in Gowanus. His last words were "We're playing." #BlackLivesMatter www.npr.org/2015/05/15/4...

Good People Aren't Still Supporting 45/47. If you still support Trump's white Christian nationalist ideas, you can't call yourself a good guy. You're a racist. tinyurl.com/5a755xsp via @johnpavlovitz

Forbes in Jan 2022 said that 1 in 5 executives believe the hiring shortfalls are because “no one wants to work”. I have corrected that statement. The reason is that “no one wants to work for poverty wages while you pay yourself millions.” Your welcome. #greatresignation

How many more Americans must die before Republicans in Congress will act to protect our communities? It’s long past time that we require safe storage of firearms. Require background checks for all gun sales. Eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.

Tyre King was shot multiple times and killed by a police officer when they believed he matched the description for a robber in the neighborhood. He was 5 ft tall and weighed less than 100 pounds. #BlackLivesMatter time.com/4495904/tyre...

If California had followed Florida’s COVID approach, 40,000 additional California would have died. -LA Times August 12, 2022. The margin has been increasing.

Have you noticed that people happy about Roe V Wade being overturned, don’t support prenatal care, maternal leave, child health care, etc. They aren’t pro-life, They are pro-control of women.

Why did folks refuse to take the COVID vaccine because it had not gotten full FDA approval, but instead took hydroxychoroquine, or other experimental treatment that have limit evidence to support their use? The 2022 surge was almost completely made up of the unvaccinated.

Aiyana Stanley-Jones was shot and killed by a police officer when, while investigating a local shooting, burst into her home without warning and fired within seconds. She was SLEEPING. She was SEVEN YEARS OLD. #BlackLivesMatter #SayHerName en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shootin...

In 2012, the voters of Puerto Rico rejected the current territorial status and 61% chose statehood from the viable options for political status. #Statehood4PuertoRico en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Pu...

Republicans are now the largest group of unvaccinated individuals in the United States, more than any other single demographic group. Majority of COVID deaths since May 2021, occurred among the unvaccinated. #VaccinesWork tinyurl.com/w68f9zdv

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. (Published February)

Don’t poke the bear. The bear successfully messed with Texas.

Nothing illustrates the infantile mind-set of the MAGAt Republicans than their false claims of election fraud. Basically, they believe they are entitled to get what they want regardless of the will of the people.

DC residents pay more in total federal income tax than residents of 22 other states but have no say over how those tax dollars are spent. #DCStatehood

I am so f—ing tired of MAGAts saying that will do all in their power to protect life from conception to death when all they actually do is restrict a women’s choice & fight universal health care, maternity leave, and childcare support. They are hypocrites! #WarOnWomen

Prop 50 wins. California messed with Texas!

The problem I have with Fox News is not that they are conservative. It’s that they are deceitful. They intentionally, purposely and regularly lie. They are a cancer on the American soul. #FOXNewsLies

Without statehood, over 700,000 people who call D.C. home and pay their fair share of federal taxes have no real representation in the House or Senate #DCStatehood

DC residents pay the highest per-capita federal income taxes in the US. They will not need a subsidy, Their taxes will contribute to lower-income states like Kentucky and Wyoming who receive more in federal taxes than they pay. #DCStatehood

I have lost all respect for those who support the "big lie", and are trying to diminish & erase Jan. 6th. It turns out they did not believe their own lectures about Law & Order, Family Values, Morality, Democracy, Patriotism, and Love of our Country.
