Other things Republicans keep you free from:
Sensible gun laws
Healthcare
Reproductive care
Book learning
A free market
Brunch
Gender affirming care
Parents keep in custody of their beloved children

Great job, Republicans, this lib feels so owned

Rep. Zooey Zephyr
It's all about whose voice gets heard; whose body gets respected; whose chains are allowed to fall away.
SHAME on the bloody hands of the Montana legislature. #MontanaLegislature #ZooeyZepher

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society." - John Lewis

White man commits mass murder
•Media: He was a star athlete!

White teen commits mass murder
•Media: He was an average kid!

White man commits rape
•Media: He was a 3X all American!

Black teen murdered
•Media: He was on drugs

White supremacy in media is alive & well. Smh.

Today on the first day of Women’s History Month I learned that after no fault divorce was finally legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯

The "strong 1950s family unit" that the GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy.

But maybe that's GOP's goal all along?🤔

Hard to imagine how scary it must be being a minority or a Dem in the US, especially red states. Imagine leaving home & realising half of your neighbours hold intense hatred towards you or wish to rid your existence. Then on top of that, half also have guns. Reminiscent of a horror film.

The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.

No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."

And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.

Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.

Bring your animals inside tonight. No matter how thick their coats, below 20 degrees they can freeze. Here, in what is normally considered the "banana belt" of North Idaho we will be below 0. Bluntly, don't wake up to find 'taking a chance' meant digging a grave.

Who could have foreseen that a white South African who is obsessed with colonizing places would have had such a lack of consideration for a community he ruled over?
