Old seasoned Feminist. My memory is long! Protecting innocence & Veterans are two of the best things we can ever do. We defend the world as a responsibility of Democracy & shouldnโt have to defend our Democracy from our own government or PRESIDENT.
Taking away funding for public library wifi. ๐คฌ Our freedoms are at risk. About 7.9 million people have zero reliable internet access. And somewhere around 20 million don't have reliable access. INFORMATION IS POWER. This regime does not care about you at all. VOTE #DV1 #usDemocracy #v4v #VOTE
Consolidation of goods and services is not a "free market"; it's a monopoly. A monopoly hates competition. A monopoly hates independence. A monopoly loves power. A monopoly loves influence. A monopoly loves control. A monopoly loves monotony. A monopoly is inhumane.
When Iโm elected to the U.S. Senate, Iโll fight for every Mississippianโs basic rights, including clean water โ and I wonโt stop until every community gets the dignity and respect it deserves. #MississippiMatters
Itโs Mississippi Matters Monday, and Iโve got to say, this weekโs topic really upsets me. A federal court just told Jackson residents that they donโt have a right to clean water. Let that sink in.
Gloria Steinem spent more than half a century arguing that equality wasnโt just a womenโs issue, it was a democratic imperative. Here's our @connectwithjacob.bsky.social tribute to her legacy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=whWT...

Gloria Steinem was a force of nature and a fierce champion for womenโs rights and equality in America. I was lucky to know Gloria and witness firsthand her grit, courage, and unwavering commitment to a more just world for all.
Arizona families are still paying too much for groceries, gas, and housing. Making life more affordable should be priority #1 in Washington, but for most, itโs just a talking point. Iโm fighting to put money back in working familiesโ pockets โ not millionaires.
This Labor Day, Arizonans are facing record high gas prices. Itโs no mystery why it costs so much. Trump started a war with Iran with zero plan and no way out. American families are paying for his mistakes at the pump, in the grocery store, and just about everywhere else.
We can't flip the Senate without defending this seat in New Hampshire, so it was great to see so many folks out on a Sunday to hit the doors for my friend @chrispappasnh.bsky.social. Granite Staters deserve a fighter like Chris in the Senate, who's been working nonstop to lower costs.

The poorest in the US can't find housing even as low-income units sit empty apnews.com/article/affo... How does this happen in a gold plated Republican Trump administration? Very easily!
The poorest in the US can't find housing even as low-income units sit empty
The poorest people in the U.S. face the most acute shortage of affordable homes. Thatโs partly because the majority of low-income housing financed in recent years has been for those earning at least 5...

The race for Congress has been getting a lot of the attention. But what happens in state legislatures this November could matter just as much, if not more. Don't sleep on it.

Imagine youโre the victim of a crime or are witnessing a medical emergency. You call 911 in a fit of panicโฆonly to be placed on hold. This is the reality for hundreds of thousands of people in the US as an underfunding and staffing crisis affects the countryโs dispatch centers.
