    Smug, mediocre, Republican Congressman takes on @GretaThunberg— Greta proceeds to: -remind him she's a badass -destroy the very premise of his question -roast him when he misses her pt Imagine a future w/Greta asking the q's. To get there, we must first heed her call to action.

    In case you’re wondering, this is what an un-American coward looks like👇🏻

    “It looks like there’s a baby down below—he walks now, guys—so I’ve lost all control.” Every working mom can relate to this moment. My daughter likes to say “hi” to every & all of my zoom calls. @abc7leslielopez handled it so well—#WorkingMoms get it done!

    The White House has the same position on mail-in voting as they do on #COVID19 testing and tracing: fine for us, not for you.

    I would be *thrilled* to be asked proof of vaccination at the gym, restaurant, movie theater, etc. Who's with me?

    This family photo was taken during the height of the 1918 Flu Pandemic in the East Bay community of Dublin. Over a hundred years ago — and even the cat knew to #WearADamnMask!

    7 yrs ago this week, a 5-4 conservative #SCOTUS majority gutted the Voting Rights Act. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's dissent, warned w/out the VRA "significant gains made by minorities" would be undermined—& faced the risk of "backsliding." This is what backsliding looks like👇🏻

    7 years ago today 20 six & seven-year-olds, & 6 adult staff—were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary. 7 years & Sen. Republicans still refuse to pass universal background checks. 7 years. We can’t afford to lose another 7 yrs to inaction—let us honor their memory through action.

    How do I begin to unpack how deeply disturbed I was by yesterday’s Supreme Court arguments?   Justice Sotomayor spoke for so many of us with this question. She spoke for me. 

In September, I had a miscarriage requiring an emergency abortion procedure — (tw // miscarriage)

    The post office is secure enough for millions of Americans to send taxes to the IRS every year, secure enough for the government to mail out $1,200 stimulus checks, secure enough to send credit cards and passports and drivers licenses... but not secure enough for ballots. Got it.

    Tears streaming down my face right now watching Vice President-elect Kamala Harris speech with my daughter. Kamala said “to all the little girls out there...” and Jojo said “she’s taking to me!” I can’t express how emotional this makes me.

    Forgive me for questioning the sincerity of this tweet, @IvankaTrump — it's just that your father just so happens to be President of the United States, continually downplays the severity of this crisis, and over 132,000 Americans have now died because of it. Cc: @realDonaldTrump
