Robert Roberson is facing an execution despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence. Medical evidence shows that his daughter died due to natural and accidental causes, yet Texas is pushing forward with his execution anyway. Add your name to this petition to save Robert.

The Justice Department deleted a study from its website stating that right-wing violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.

This is extremely concerning. The propaganda is escalating to normalizing "involuntary lethal injection" against unhoused folks.

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is widening — just another sign our country is moving in the wrong direction. We should be moving forward, not backward.

Yes. Yes, they are.

This is propaganda and bias and unacceptable.

HOLY MOLY! You have got to listen to Texas Representative Ann Johnson on what Texas is doing. It's short, and she is so incredibly strong and clear-eyed! (Her father is former Texas Rep. Jake Johnson, whom she references.)

The vaccine label has been limited to everyone over 65 and for those 6 months through 64 years old with at least one condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19. This is a deep dive to bring you up to date👇

Wow! I knew something shady was going on. Susan Monarez, the CDC director, was ousted because she refused to go w/ MAGA shady agenda. This a “warning to every American: our evidence-based systems are being undermined from within” Science is under attack. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Happy International Dog Day!

Know your rights, Chicago. Ask for a warrant. Record the goons from a safe distance. We don’t want or need them here.

Troops are literally marching down the streets of American cities and we are still debating whether or not this is authoritarianism. We can't convince people fast enough. I have no point. I'm just...worried

🚨 Doctors were not allowed to treat people being held in detention. Unacceptable.

The only way to fully protect the rights of DC residents is to make the district a state. Demand Congress supports DC statehood at aclu.org/dc_statehood_.

Sign and pass it on. For more impact make a phone call to your representatives about how problematic RFK Jr is.

Dear threads, Stop enticing me with juicy conversation topics to only allow my response to be seen by one person or to try to make my profile public. I like the real conversations better on BSky, yet there's less engagement. Ironically this is public, but so far there are far less haters and bots.

I should also note that violence is only about self preservation. We've got to get beyond that and think of the lives of our neighbors first. Are the American people strong enough?

Congress is pushing a bill that threatens free expression and academic freedom under the guise of combating antisemitism. Tell your members of Congress to defend free speech by voting No.

Absolutely unacceptable! Make some noise about this!

Thank you to everyone who made some #GoodTrouble yesterday to honor the late Rep. John Lewis and carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

This is so infuriating! We need to step in to stop this however we can. We can also help folks know their rights and who to call for help (which may be threatened). Also, check out the Dignity for Detained Immigrants bill when it comes up again.

In 2007 I student taught in a Kindergarten class. While I never became a FT teacher, I have my memories. One day the kids were drawing what they wanted to be when they grew up and I helped them write. I recall beIng struck by so many of them wanting to be "helpers". I hope they're helpers today.

It’s still not too late, and my never ending #goodclimatenews series is proof! I’ve been producing this series for four years now, and I can never cover all the progress!

Anyone being detained by law enforcement in America deserves to know who is detaining them and why. I'm helping introduce the VISIBLE Act to simply require immigration officers display their badge number and agency. My full statement ⬇️

Highly recommend this CNN article 👇it breaks down why American kids are less healthy than those in other countries, and what we can do about it. Bottom line: we need to *build up* our public health systems, not tear them down. @MAHA — let’s look at the evidence and work together?
