JUST VOTE. And get everyone else you know to do the same. vote.nyc – at Manhattan, NY

ALT A white background with an image of a Little Miss character and text above and below. The text is bold black font that reads "Little miss fuck your abortion bans" and the Little Miss character is a purple circle with short legs and black strands of hair, and has a grumpy face and crossed arms.

BREAKING: The British Medical Association announces that Americans who cannot get abortions due to the overturn of Roe should be offered free services in the United Kingdom — something Republicans would be helpless to stop. RT TO THANK THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION!

In the richest country in the history of the world, no senior should live in poverty and every American should be able to retire in dignity after a lifetime of hard work. Yes, it’s time expand Social Security.

Thanks to the filibuster, 41 Senate Republicans representing just 21% of the country are blocking laws supported by the vast majority of Americans. This is not how democracy is supposed to work.

Don't forget what happened today:
Every Senate Republican voted against codifying Roe.

We know that criminalization targets BIPOC communities for harassment and abuse, and that goes for abortion criminalization too.

So let me get this straight: wearing a mask to save lives during a pandemic should be a personal choice, but what a pregnant person does with their own body should be mandated by the government?

A suggestion: Please reach out to someone you know who's in need, who is sick, lonely, mourning, or in pain. Say hello. Talk to them, and even more importantly, listen. If you are one of these people, please reach out to others for help. Small acts can make a big difference.

After 120 years and more than 200 attempts to pass legislation, lynching is now a federal crime in America.

Every other federal court has ethics rules, the Supreme Court should be no different.

This Menora in Drobytskyi Yar near Kharkiv never threatened anyone. It commemorates the memory of over 15.000 Jews murdered by Nazis. Damaged by Russian shelling today. Why Russia keeps attacking Holocaust Memorials in Ukraine? I expect Israel to strongly condemn this barbarism.

Putin has the gall to say he is “de-Nazifying” Ukraine.
This lie isn’t just cynical. It is obscene.
President Zelenskyy was democratically elected. He is Jewish — his father’s family was wiped out in the Nazi Holocaust.

Clarence Thomas was accused of sexual harassment and got confirmed to #SCOTUS. Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault. #GinniThomas sent 29 texts demanding a Constitutional violation & indictable crimes. Senators who fear #KetanjiBrownJackson is “soft on crime”? What say you?
