Thousands of women are sharing this and saying yes, this was their experience, many of them sharing their own horrific 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s experiences. (And almost everyone sharing it appears to be female.)

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

It was just block after block of people coming from Malcolm X Park headed downtown. Lots of energy despite the heat, and cheers from passersby, as well as church bells ringing in support.

We will not yield.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

On the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, I'm happy to have contributed to this piece in @teenvogue.com about the legacy of the hurricane in terms of the ways it motivated young survivors to get engaged and become activists. www.teenvogue.com/story/hurric...

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

The government's colossal failure to respond after Hurricane Katrina led to major reforms at the nation's top disaster agency. Now, the Trump administration has reversed some of those changes.

The Transportation Department on Friday canceled $679 million in federal funding for a dozen offshore wind projects, the latest attack by the Trump administration on the reeling U.S. offshore wind industry. https://to.pbs.org/45HtATc

The One Ugly Distraction let ACA premium tax credits expire—jacking up health care costs for 22M Americans. In VA, a 55-year-old making $63K will pay $2,410 more just to keep their plan. Working families pay the price for GOP cruelty.

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak. Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?
