State Sen. Megan Hunt (D), speaking directly to Republicans, reaffirms vow to filibuster all legislation if #NEleg anti-trans bill passes: "No one in the world holds a grudge like me. And no one in the world cares less about being petty than me. I don't care. I don't like you."
@therecount She’s a real hero. It takes guts to do what she’s doing.
@therecount Her child is trans. She introduced her child’s statement into the record. So yeah, she’s got a grudge against the legislators who dismissed her plea to understand this is about human rights and stuck to their national MAGA talking points.
@therecount If you're seeing this you should know that there will be rallies held tomorrow & next Friday at the capitol
@therecount i’m so tired of politicians being cordial when adversaries pass bills that literally infringe on people’s lives. there’s no point. right wing politicians don’t deserve that same respect. you can only let bygones be bygones under certain circumstances. not these ones tho
@therecount this is unfortunate. civility is the foundation of cooperation. I'd rather have a leader who is capable of being civil and kind while standing firm on their convictions. disagreement doesn't require hatred.
@therecount She is a single mom (shocker) to an 11 year old “transgender boy”. Sounds like some woke indoctrination was going on that house. Perhaps she should be investigated for child abuse?
@therecount Thank you Megan . There is no reason in this world why anyone has to cave in to these absolutely hateful bills by of course Republicans. The Republicans are following a playbook thats been in use for many years . Its hateful, illegal and twisted. Like them. Hang in there, Meghan
I LOVE this. Even if I’m not as far left as to be called a “Progressive,” I love this apparently novel idea of standing up for others who are marginalized, values, principles, and freedom with everything a politician has. The fact that they have coffee and laugh with each other like good ol’ boys and girls while “negotiating” things that deserve no negotiation. Some things are too far and are not American. Some things do not uphold rights and freedoms for everyone and are embedded in control and hatred. Believe it and start to make it known like State Senator Hunt.
@therecount No one is paying attention to her. I don’t think they care. I feel bad for her constituents.
@therecount Always interesting when the party of "DeMoCrACy" refuses to allow a vote to be held.
