Democrats need to renew American’s faith in democracy and their government. Trump has committed many impeachable acts, committed outright crimes, and attacked democracy itself. Impeach and remove. It’s that simple.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 3d agoFormer White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel calls on Democratic lawmakers to set aside plans to impeach President Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.

We shouldn’t need to practice saying “leave the kids alone” “we don’t bully people” and we trust people to tell us who they are, and will respect that. I’m going to find or put together a thread of politicians supporting trans people because we are all in this world together.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 3w agoSome Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This is a lot of people getting pushed off Medicaid, student aid not given, research unsupported. This is what our elected national government is choosing to spend our tax dollars on. It has no national purpose, only serving for the glory of one at the expense of us all.

I’m sharing this because it surprises me how many people still don’t know the active harm this author is funding. Conversations about whether we can separate the art from the artist might be interesting, but not when every penny will help fund horrid anti-trans activities around the world.

My heartbreaks every time there’s a mass shooting. My prayers are with the victims and community in Seattle. We should never accept mass shootings as normal, the time for common sense gun violence prevention is now. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

It’s hard to sit with and absorb all the horrors our federal government is inflicting on us and the world. What we are doing to Haitian people who were told the US would be a safe place, had status, worked, built lives here … I’m angry and heartbroken, and if I cannot stop it I will witness.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...
