#NEWS: Yesterday was a BIG day for #women in #Italy which just recognized #femicide as a #crime & are punishing it with life in prison.

This is THE SECOND TIME in 5 DAYS an ENTIRE COUNTRY’S #GOVERNMENT has puts serious resources behind ENDING THE MURDER OF WOMEN BECAUSE THEY ARE WOMEN.

Please pardon all of the yelling/caps y’all, this is exciting as hell❤️

Today in #WashingtonSquarePark under the arch is an art installation made of pieces of the now destroyed East Wing of the #WhiteHouse. Quite the commentary on the dismantling of #Democracy.
Walking my pup in #WashingtonSquarePark when I came upon this fabulous creature with a mohawk that I could only dream of rocking as effortlessly😎😍

I haven’t posted on #facebook since last year when I shared a few updates of my time volunteering for the #Harris campaign, YET I recently received a notice that my account has been suspended for potential violations of #communitystandards. Hard not to lean into confirmation bias about the #Trump administration’s violation of #freespeech & #tech collusion.

Part 2 of 2 of #RaphaelWarnock speaking about how the demise of #roevwade is actually killing #women in #Georgia. #Harris #election2024 #reproductiverights
ALSO, #RaphaelWarnock came in to South Fulton HQ. He spoke very powerfully about women’s bodily autonomy and a recent death in #Georgia of a woman who was denied basic reproductive care. If you want to get fired up, listen to this (part 1 of 2).

Omg, #ayannapressley came into the #Harris South Fulton GA HQ. We’ve got high hopes for tonight!!!!
Hi there! I made it to #Georgia and am volunteering for the #Harris campaign at their South Fulton office. The mood is electric and I’ve never seen more people who recognize that our vote is our voice. #shondarhimes came by the other day as did #tonywest. If you haven’t already voted, please vote on Tuesday! Whomever you vote for, it matters. And if you want to get involved in your neighborhood for the Harris campaign go to https://www.mobilize.us for events in your neighborhood.

Hello #Mastodon!

It’s been a minute cuz I just had spinal surgery BUT, as soon as I get this pesky neck brace off, I’m going to travel to a battleground state to volunteer for the #HarrisWalz campaign. Right now it’s looking like it will be either Fulton County, #Georgia or Bucks County, #Pennsylvania. Lots of reasons to go to either spot so if you have thoughts, please share.

As always, don’t forget to #vote and encourage others to vote and to vote early💃💃💃

#election2024 #Democracy

For anyone in #NYC interested in #StopTheCoup, a grassroots community education & mobilization org dedicated to exposing #Project2025, the radical & #conservative anti-#democracy, anti-#diversity, anti-#gender agenda, there’s an #event tomorrow in #CentralPark at 1pm. I hope to see you there!
