OK, women - ALL women even suburban housewives
This. Is. It.
Our chance to get it 110% correct & elect our first female President
We missed by less than 100,000 votes last time while fighting a misinformation Facebook war
This time we MUST win
Unite NOW behind Kamala
I’m 1988, I adopted my daughter at birth, I had my Reg 2wk vaca. Period. Taking care of a newborn is tough. Bonding is tough. But when you had an adoption fall through & you wait until 11 th hr to prepare, it is brutal. I was an exec w/ American Nurses Assoc- run by women 100%.
Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex believes it’s time for
#PaidLeaveforAll
. In a powerful letter to Congress, she’s standing up for millions of American families who need and deserve guaranteed paid leave. Read and share her letter:
Pay attention people. I cook all my 89 yr old Mom’s meals & know that good nutrition is the difference between life and death for the elderly. Taking meds, monitor blood thinners, gaining or losing weight, keeping a healthy gut. Food matters. Trump sucks.
@MikeBloomberg
Trump cuts multiple benefits for the elderly in our country, who MORE than paid their dues.
Instead, Trump COSTS America
$3.5 Million, EVERY time he golfs!
We don't need this corrupted human(¿) draining our taxpayers and country, ONE MORE DAY.
I marched in the 70s Pre Roe
I marched after Roe
I marched in DC w/my adopted child born to a 15 yr old who made her CHOICE in ‘89 for NOW March
I marched after Trump won
And I’ll keep marching
Until Women’s Rights are codified in Constitution
We can’t go back!
#WomensRights
Trauma is watching the media torture your beloved Mum & then have them chase her to her death
Then, it starts again w/ your bride
Losing a love like that is truly devastating
Harry and Meghan deserve their happiness, success & understanding
Like anyone else
I hear you. But keep at it, your body will remember how to be strong.
I’ve started listening to podcasts when I walk. Meidas Touch, The Politics Girl, Legal AF, Sisters in Law… keeps me engaged and walking longer. Plus, the politics beat keeps me angry so I walk w/gusto. ❤️
Our Troops Ground and Air are performing magnificently on the ground at Afghan airport. Things could be lots worse. Let’s send them good vibes , we are proud of their Sacrifice. As we go from news to history there will be plenty paper used to describe the how ,why, who !
@SecDef
Morons foughtHARD to stop seatbelt laws
My Dad hated them
And he was an automotive engineer
Until he went into diabetic shock, hit a stone bridge and rolled his car
Seatbelt,
@MedicAlert
and an RN following him saved his life
Never argued w/us again about seatbelts
And again I was asked today whether I would wear my mask forever.
Not a mean question, just curious.
So I said that I will wash my hands before preparing food forever.
I will wear a seatbelt forever.
I will defecate in a toilet rather than the street forever.
I worked in DC for 10 yrs
Trust me they all brag about their healthcare, their gym, dental, vision, hearing
All of it
While fighting tooth and nail to kill the ACA
And stop seniors from getting dental, vision and hearing in Medicare plans
Just. Because. Obama. Created. It.
Been listening for months. It’s well worth your time. Converted my two neighbors to join the Meidas Mighty this weekend. Love all the podcasts these talented brothers produce.

War is chaotic. Yes, mistakes were made. But do we think we could have started moving thousands of ppl out BEFORE military left w/o causing panic? Trump signed deal to give Afghanistan to Taliban in 2020. Stopped all Refugees. Delayed transition. Biden’s work was doomed B/4 Start

@StevePerryMusic
Um, yes it was necessary. Intelligent, decent politicians request and usually get the rights to use a song at a political rally. It is actually the law. Except Trump. It doesn’t belong to the public or just any narcissistic racist who wants to exploit it.
John Mercer Langston was the first black man to become a lawyer in Ohio when he passed the Bar in 1854.
He was the founding dean of the law school at Howard University, he helped draft the Civil Rights Act of 1875, co-founded the National Equal Rights League 1864 and was the
There are hundreds of thousands of kids in foster care in US. Many Available for adoption. But Conservatives control these state agencies and can deny families who are mixed race, mixed religion, Jewish, Gay and Lesbian, single parents, working Moms
Make it make sense.
Nope. Trump didn’t give a damn
He had already killed the safety protections put into law by

Hey MAGA
Pres Carter SOLD his beloved peanut farm BF becoming President. He believed he should divest himself of a business BF being in position to implement policy
After WH, he built Carter Center to further peace & Justice
& Built homes for ppl
Instead of playing golf
Enraging for sure. Just study the story of black family farms in the Carolinas and the powerful gov & corporate campaign to kill their farms and take their land. Disgusting but all too true.
Support your local family farmer. They need your help!
Enraging example systemic racism in US power brokers
2020: USDA delivers $45B in aid to farmers—but Black farmers denied
2021: Black farmers approved for $5B—but the white farmers who *already* got $45B sue, claiming reverse racism
2022: Black farms on the brink of foreclosure
Pleeze.
Melania literally wore her Second $3M engagement ring full frontal in her official portrait
( the first is worth $3M too)
And SHE definitely didn’t buy these
But it’s no one’s biz anyone, right?
Not that it’s anybody’s business but not only did she make her own significant salary, but her husband was a PARTNER in a major entertainment law firm and cleared over a million a year so he can afford nice gifts, Just say you don’t think Black women should have nice things 🤷🏾♀️
Damn straight. I remember learning her story & being inspired by her bravery. Her story & all the stories of the Civil Rights movement impacted my youth & pushed me to challenge my father - a Southern GOP conservative.
He was proud to vote for Pres Obama. Twice.
People change
Linda Brown was 7 & had to walk 6 blocks to catch a bus because she could not attend a white school. She is the name behind the landmark decision in Brown v Board of Ed. in 1954.
She was strong enough to live it. White kids are damn well strong enough to learn it!
#FreshResists
She. Was. Born. Ready.
Worked damn hard to step up & lead us at this precise moment in history
It is OUR job to do everything we can to help make that happen
For our kids, our grandkids, our neighbors, ourselves

And the DOJ will prosecute
Big. Fucking. Difference.

Fascist. Egregious menace to human race.
Silence makes you complicit
Promotion puts you squarely on the team
Disgusting
Dr. Bright just explained that federal officials responsible for emergency PPE and mask production ignored his warnings that
#COVID19
would require more of them, and they told Americans NOT to wear masks to preserve N95 masks for docs & nurses.
OMG.
Yes, yes you must. I usually clean out my purse. Check texts. Respond to friends on Twitter. Find a cloth and wipe down the dash. Rock out to a few tunes…
So much to do.
Fuck. Susan. Collins. Again.
The Assault Weapons Ban dropped gun deaths by 43%
It. Worked.
Stop. Talking. In. Circles.
Americans are not as stupid as you think we are.
We. See. You. Suzy.
Just listened to
@Maddowblog
interviews w/ Lev Parnas again
The 1st Impeachment was so damning, it should’ve been enough
If
@GOP
weren’t complicit
Old school guys like Mueller, McConnell & others underestimated Trump, Barr, Pompeo…
They had no idea how evil they could be.
Lev Parnas—recently released from jail after 20 months in prison for campaign finance violations revealed on Ari Melber:
(1) Hunter Biden laptop was a set up by Giuliani
(2)that Lindsey Graham & Mike Pence were blackmailed
We’ve never really had it…ERA never ratified. Equal pay? Discrimination in college( male prof hate smart women) and at work…Black and brown women have even less rights.
We can’t stop fighting and our daughters must join us!
At a local rally this week full of inspirational & young people who have never lived in an America where they had no rights over their own bodies.
I have.
One of my fav signs:
“If I wanted Congress in my vagina, I’d fuck a Senator!”
Damn, I love these kids!

Good for you! I have spent 25 years fighting pancreatitis. 2 mos in hospital just this year. So happy to hear a fellow sufferer has his life back. AND works in renewable energy business. Bonus!
Good reason to stick with Walgreens. I kicked CVS to the curb yrs ago. The ppl at Walgreens are kinder, more connected and the Pharmacists actually give a damn. They remember who you are when you show up month after month. That matters to me.
In. Any. Way.
Lindsay Graham is just making an ass out of himself. But he never misses the opportunity to do so.
She is brilliant. And they can’t land a punch. So they keep going after the Dems, Pres. Biden, and her work as a public defender.
Gitmo? BS
Pathetic. Little. Men.
One of the most difficult things about watching this judicial hearing is that most of the people questioning Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson couldn't hold her gavel intellectually, experience-wise, or in any way.
All true. I started college in 1974. Paying every penny of my education myself. And living on my own.
Yet, my Father had to sign for me to get a bank account.
That wasn’t that long ago.
Thanks for reminding everyone.
FUN FACT: Women could not get a credit card on their own before 1974. Recall that Roe became legal in 1973. So, it was very difficult for single women to achieve some level of financial independence before this.
Not until the 1990s was the law that remedied this situation
I’m so sorry for your loss
My baby brother never wore a mask
Or got boosted
Had Covid 6x
The virus literally “sat” on his heart valve destroying it
Turning it to stone
He barely survived passing out on a public street
Open heart surgery at 56
#WearADamnMask
For those who missed this last year…thank you for your condolences today & please stay safe from Covid. Mark died of heart attacks about 7 weeks after his 3rd Covid infection. He’d had Long Covid since his 2nd infection but the 3rd was too much for his body. New surge!
#MaskUp
Does it matter that
@VP
worked at McDonald’s?
Yes!
I worked at Hardee’s, waited tables, cleaned houses,paid my way through undergrad and grad school, struggled to pay rent
When I became the CEO, it made me a better manager
Because you get it
@VP
and
@GovTimWalz
get it too
In the 80s Trump was caught in a major tax fraud. GAF.
He did the same thing 26 times since in the tax docs we know of before today
It’s called criminal intent. He KNEW it was illegal. Was caught doing it. And did it again
This one thing could land him in prison for years.
Checked in on the Mar-A-Lago Psycho. Rage-posting in all caps about Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman. Definitely coming apart at the seams.

I guess maybe I should've mentioned that today's Podcast episode with Congressman Allred was a little intense... & emotional.
Truth is, they're all gonna be that way.
I don't really see the point in doing a podcast like this, if we're not having the difficult conversations.💙
In my dream,POTUS says “Fuck it” & does the following:
1. Brings all Govs to DC
2. Tells them he will eliminate open carry, ban assault weapons & kill qualified immunity for 2 yrs as a test
3. If they don’t comply, federal $ will stop
Then tells them to fix their police forces
For sure!
I was a grad student at NYU when I adopted my daughter. A few 3 hr evening classes to finish. My professor kindly suggested I bring her along. Class members passed her to each other soothing her and giving me opportunity to present.
It was magical. And unforgettable
Amen
Have been divorced for 27 yrs
Raised my daughter
Lived alone.Happily
Rebuilt my financial freedom after divorce as I was sole earner
Have a beautiful grandson & pup
Will never either support a man or live with one again
My life is my own
& I earned every minute
My mom & all her lil friends are in their 50’s/60’s. They’re all dating. Not only do none of them want to marry again, NONE of them want to live with their lil bfs. They all like having their own space, their own time & their own priorities & I think it’s so fascinating!
800,000 Americans. Dead. The last 300,000 or so unvaccinated. Do the math. Each life lost had a family. So millions of Americans have lost a family member. A friend. A teacher. A co-worker. Millions more have long Covid and suffer. I will never understand this. Never.
She and her sick husband fought for over 13 years.
13 years, people.
It’s a disgrace.
Bless
@jonstewart
and
@SenatorTester

Heartbreaking, but understandable
Your advice and that of my respected Drs and Dr Fauci have kept me alive these past 3 yrs
I just reordered a massive supply of N 95 masks
And have no plans to stop wearing one

Wouldn’t you? Really, you’re 18. You’re tricked into fighting a war against ppl who’ve done you no harm by a freaking lunatic. You know you must fight and possibly die or not fight and ruin your life. Being a POW seems like the best course of action.
Boebert tells liberals they better believe, “I’m coming with my Springfield.”
She is making a direct threat to sitting Government officials.
If that were one of us, we would be under the damn jail. Why the hell is she not behind bars?

Please read every word. This young man has captured this heartbreaking and infuriating American tragedy. He has more intelligence, empathy and decency than the entire Republican Party.
We can’t let fatigue stop us. Until everyone can vote and vote with ease and security, we all must fight. We lose a piece of ourselves and our country with every anti voter law. Thank you for your dedication. It inspires all of us!
How long America? Why must we always fight? When will THIS democracy be secure for all of us? Why is my right to vote always negotiable?
My body is tired but my SPIRIT is relentless. We WILL have voting rights in this country! We will WIN! We will not give up! Justice will be.
This Friday, I’m honored to welcome President

back to Georgia. Join me and Senator

A year ago he would have ran out of that room screaming, because loud spaces and crowds stress him out.
This is a repost with better video.

If the GOP take back the Senate, their just released plans would end:
🚫Voting rights protections
🚫Climate actions
🚫BBB agenda
🚫Reproductive freedom
The road to the Senate is through

So Trump chose Mint Hill f/ his NC rally today
67% white, 70% married, pop 22,000
Suburb of Charlotte
He didn’t do a massive rally in Charlotte like
@VP
did
Where those Trump voters could drive & attend
He chose a tiny, white suburban town
To look like a star
Pathetic
Our youngest son Daniel Hotez just married to his beautiful new wife from Plano TX, Alexandra Pfeiffer Hotez, at Hermann Park here in Houston TX. Overjoyed for these two!
Oh it’s real.
I sat in a management meeting
One of 2 women VPs in room
Sports team
And sweat literally ran down my face
It was sudden and extreme
Was asked by boss if I could still do my job
It was sweat
You know, like men get when it’s fucking hot?
"simply educating people about what hot flashes look like isn’t enough to overcome biases — to boost perceptions of leadership potential, self-disclosure is critical."
Such beauty
I wish media would spend time interviewing these survivors.
Before we can’t
My daughter knows BC her grandparents were survivors but Gen X and Gen Z need to be hit in the face with the truth
So they understand why so many of their parents are terrified of

I gotta say, for all the press about negativity getting the most likes, the outpouring of love for this post is off the charts!
Thank you so much everyone. It’s pretty friggin’ glorious.
As you should. What a stunning photo & statement
If only everyone could understand what it feels like to be branded a criminal from birth. What that does to the soul.
We can’t. But we can work for a more inclusive & accepting society & raise our kids & grandkids to do the same
I was born a Black. From the moment of my birth, I was branded a savage and a criminal by those who frown upon the color of my skin. I am neither of these things; yet I am still hated and feared. I am a Black man. Proud, strong, and intelligent. I fully embrace my Blackness. ✊🏾
You are such an extraordinary and beautiful man. I am certain Jaime is with you every day. I was a dancer in my youth and I think of her every time I watch a performance. Her joy was palpable and made perfect sense to me.
Thank you for your fight to save our kids and grandkids
(1,4) Yesterday I got a definite sign from Jaime, and I cannot stop thinking and smiling about it. For those following me, you know I am heading into my 4th week essentially on the road for American Carnage. It will also be the final week of the book tour. Honestly, I am tired
Godspeed, Joshua Harris-Till! We need powerful leadership to counter the racist lies and bring historical fact into the conversation.
Denying who we are as a country - ALL of it - places us at risk for losing our freedom and our Democracy.
I am Emmett Till’s cousin, I am running for US Congress in Oklahoma, and you will not hear me say I deserve this seat because of that relation.
However, with today’s manufactured attacks on CRT I am painfully and continuously reminded that this is an attempt to erase our history
Amen. Single woman here too. Living alone for 27 yrs. San Fran. Atl. DC. NC. No gun. Not afraid. I know my neighbors and they know me. We actually like each other. Rich. Poor. Black. White. Asian. Muslim. Gay. Straight. Young. Old. Christian. Catholic. Jewish. Agnostic. Even MAGA
The ENTIRE Republican agenda is based on FEAR. They fucking FEAR everything! Maybe they should grow some...spines...and try to live their lives like the rest of us. I'm a single woman, living alone, but I don't carry a gun. I live in a poor area, but I don't fear my neighbors
Please. Watch.

I know MAGA folks who made the “pilgrimage ” and spent $thousands
Believing every word
Yep, this corrupt White Nationalist is dangerous
If the weapon in every major mass killing was poison or homemade bombs, Congress would outlaw both in a flash.
Like removing shoes at/airport BC of a shoe bomber.
But an assault rifle? Nah, we need to keep those.

This law will hurt many. I was one of them. 30 yrs ago, adoption agencies would not place a child in my home because we were a mixed couple- a Jew and a Christian. We waited for years until meeting the teen mother of my daughter who made her own choice.
My Mom had the very same one. Holiday turkeys. Sunday roasts. Christmas hams. Good for you that you still have yours and use it proudly. Such a treasure. I have my Moms brown earthenware pitcher that held sweet tea. Every night.
This roaster has been making Thanksgiving dinners since before I was born. I'm grateful for everything passed down that can still be used to make meals for my family.
Precisely
We don’t force a twin to donate a kidney to a dying sibling. It’s their choice.
Or bone marrow to a family member. It’s their choice.
And they are living, breathing humans.
Abortion removes a collection of cells that can’t survive outside the body.
#WomensRights
Progressives always trip on evangelical talking points. The questions isn't "When is a pregnancy a person?" It's "When do pregnant people stop being people?" We don't force people to donate kidneys or give blood. No one else is forced to put life and health at risk for a person
