Many, many thanks to @torbooks for donating hundreds of titles to our 'books to prisoners' non-profit! (They'll get sent out - for free - to incarcerated folks across the U.S. who requested these genres.)

Thank you @AmbassadorRice for naming the criminalization of our unhoused neighbors as the failure that it is👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Homelessness is a tragedy. It should not be a felony. We cannot arrest or incarcerate our way out of this problem. What we can do: advance equity. Housing. Prevention. Vouchers. Equity. @AmbRice44. #NAEH2022

Asking for a friend: what state agencies can I report @kpthrive to? The level of nonsense and telephone run around amounts to basically not having health insurance at all.

Let's be clear: The right to an abortion is sacred. Democrats have to act quickly - get rid of the filibuster to pass the Women's Health Protection Act + finally codify Roe into law. We cannot afford to wait.
