A whistleblower at ICE today exposed that mass hysterectomies are being performed on detained immigrants. If it sounds like a horror show, that's because it is. Gender oppression has a direct correlation with authoritarianism. This is beyond. The vicious cruelty is staggering.

Can we just take one moment and note Hillary's dignity and class through the last four years and into today?

Rush Limbaugh's most infamous act was calling a young grad student a slut for testifying in favor of contraceptive coverage. A terrible diagnosis does not erase a lifetime of racism, homophobia and misogyny. A sick man deserves healthcare; a bigot does not a medal of honor. #SOTU

I do not think it means what you think it means.

My friend’s 7th grader goes to a school where the kids organized for free tampons in the bathroom. The male principle said no because they would “abuse the privilege.” The kids decided to stage a cookie protest. Behold the tampon cookies!

I just want everyone to note it's 2020 and tomorrow-- in the highest Court in the land--we will fight about whether bosses get to decide whether we deserve our birth control coverage.

This nominee **herself** spoke against Obama filling a seat on the Supreme Court with TEN MONTHS to go before the election. She is doing the same with less than 20 days to go. I know the GOP is shameless, but this is such a sham.

If a hair cut becomes the next "But Her Emails..." I might have to jump off a roof. Let's vilify another powerful woman shall we? While the fascists make a play for our country? Smart move.

Mitch McConnell adjourned the Senate. In the middle of probably the worst spike of the COVID pandemic. 250,000 lives lost. He offered no relief, no compassion, no ways for hurting Americans to get by. He got his Court, and he's going home. The level of immorality is staggering.

!!!!! "Facebook’s own research revealed that 64 percent of the time a person joins an extremist Facebook Group, they do so because the platform recommended it." @Moonalice on platforms role in facilitating insurrection and what comes next.
Platforms Must Pay for Their Role in the Insurrection

I run a group dedicated to abortion rights. Bernie Sanders has a 100% voting record & just said that the Dem party must be 100% pro-choice. Trump wants to punish women who have abortions and is hell bent on gutting Roe. There's no comparison and none should be made on air or off.

Randy Rainbow and Sarah Cooper should get some sort of medal for getting us through these last four years. Thank you both.

BREAKING: @SpeakerPelosi and House Dems have proposed a multi-billion dollar #coronavirus package so that workers can stay home if sick and people can collect unemployment while we close up big parts of the economy. This is not politics. This is humanity. Everyone must vote yes.

Alert: every candidate in 2020 will be asked if s/he thinks a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy up until birth. The only correct answer is to reject the question as intentional disinformation designed to scare people and criminalize abortion care. The end.
