Becky is a shero! Go get ‘em girl!
On my way to the Supreme Court where I'll be proud to support 15-year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson, West Virginia's only transgender athlete, as she opposes the state's effort to ban her from playing as herself.
Win or lose, Becky and her family are heroes for standing up for what's right

Transgender women have been playing women’s tennis in USTA for 50 years!

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY.
There was also a 71% drop in air pollution.

Echoing this post because my family also went 40 days without 60% of our income but we supported Democrats fight to ensure healthcare access for Americans. To see eight of them throw it all away is absolutely infuriating. What have so many people suffered for?

To all my friends in the #CentralValley, please check out the platform that @villegas4congress.bsky.social is running on. I love this campaign video he put out.
My parents risked everything for a better life. I learned what it means to work hard, to sacrifice, and to push forward even when it meant going without. I’m running for Congress to make sure the families who feed the nation never go without food on our own tables.

What if #California stopped paying taxes to the federal government? (A question that may not be answerable). Is this legal? California’s economy is enormous and the effects would be immediate if they withheld that money. @governor.ca.gov
