American woman eyes wide open for 50 years. Participated in and celebrated as we gained our rights and moved toward the promise of equality in America. Grieve now for the next generation of women who will not be free. I will not do so in silence. 🇺🇸
MSM lemmings: vigorous political debates appealing to voters is actually how it's supposed to work, NOT the blind fearful obedience to a corrupt criminal, like you've chosen. "When voters speak, their parties and political commentators should listen."🎯🎯

Republican political theory: everyone to the left of hunting the poor for sport is a communist.
Missouri voters have overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 5, the GOP-backed plan to phase out the state income tax and replace it with higher sales taxes
With primaries behind us, it's now time for Dems to focus on winning in Nov. That'll involve something hard: establishment Dems will need to ask what they can learn from progressives, progressives will have to focus on what they can learn from centrists & both'll have to find ways to work together.
I’m sorry, but Max Miller is one sick, misogynistic POS.

Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement” just lost to a guy who dropped out of the race weeks ago. Amir Hassan fell by 10,000+ votes to a candidate who wasn’t even campaigning. Some kingmaker! Outright embarrassing! #USDemocracy #RisingBlue newrepublic.com/post/214002/... via @newrepublic.com

NEW from me: I think this is the perfect time to use Rachel Maddow’s oft-repeated phrase - ‘watch what they do- not what they say.’ Ignore Ellison's PR pitch, but look at what's happening at CBS News including directing reporters to add “facts” that did not exist. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
David Ellison can’t be trusted with CNN
We've already seen how Ellison has wrecked CBS. Don't fall for his PR push on CNN.

When Trump and Kushner learned mostly Blacks and Browns were dying in Blue states thinking blaming Governors would clench his re-election they threw out THEIR ONLY PLAN, MASKS FOR EVERY HOUSEHOLD instead signing an EO ordering minorities back to work and holding super spread rallies! Sacrificed!

Air quality. I grew up in the Los Angeles basin in the 70s and 80s and remember having to stay inside because the smog was so bad - Stage 2 smog alerts, they were called. Apparently they haven't had one of those since 1988. Haven't had a stage one smog alert since 2003.
