Ok…3 things for anyone who feels like they need to breathe into a paper bag right now about the election 1. About 1/3 of R primary voters (according to NBC exit polls) in NC and VA say they wont vote for Trump—means some work to do on uniting his party. Doesn’t help when you…
An egg is not a chicken. A seed is not a flower. An embryo is not a baby. Your religion is not my religion. My body is not your body.
Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.
On Valentine's Day (and every day), women deserve more than flowers and chocolates. We deserve: Full reproductive rights. Equal pay for equal work. Affordable child care. Universal paid leave. High quality maternal healthcare.
There’s only one candidate in PA-12 with the depth of knowledge and experience to fight for our communities in the halls of Congress — that’s @SummerForPA. Today’s debate only further proved it.
Let me see if I understand this: the Academy nominated "Barbie" for Best Picture (eight nominations total) -- a film about women being sidelined and rendered invisible in patriarchal structures -- but not the woman who directed the film. Okay then.
Summer Lee has done nothing but work hard and deliver for her constituents, and yet she'll face a primary challenge backed by $100 million in outside money. Our political system is so broken.
PITTSBURGH (@AP) _ Democrat Sara Innamorato has been elected as executive for Pittsburgh’s Allegheny County, the first woman to hold the position.

After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world. They have mental health…
You can’t go to a BOWLING ALLEY, to a restaurant, to work, to the mall, to a grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank. You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a…
Your fucking right to own a gun does not supersede someone else’s right to go fucking bowling without getting shot.
When Republicans inevitably blame the horrific mass shooting in Maine on mental illness and not on the guns, show them this:

I think we can now retire the conversation about the “correct” way to protest because no form of protest is ever going to be appropriate for those in power. The goalposts move, time and time again.
