Your child is more likely to die from measles than get beat by one of their trans peers in an athletic competition, and I wish our government's actions would reflect that.

Senator Cory Booker spoke in an all-night session on the Senate floor early Tuesday, in an effort to seize the national spotlight and criticize the Trump administration's policies for Social Security, education and health care. He was still speaking in the predawn hours.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

I started Eras with a fifth grade Swiftie who was struggling in middle school and with friends. I ended the Eras tour with a confident 7th grader who found her pocket and is blooming. From the bottom of my heart, #thankyoutaylorswift for the past two years. Til the next era…❤️

We are a pro-democracy organization that raised millions of dollars for Senate Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and elsewhere. And, we won.

We are about to do it again, but need your help.

Can you repost this and get us to 30k followers?
