A pregnant 10-year-old child forced to cross state lines for medical care after she was raped. And her doctor now facing prosecution. That’s not the unintended consequence of the Supreme Court’s decision. That’s the Republican agenda.

A white man with a gun showed up to Rep. Jayapal’s house and told her to go “back to India” and that he’d kill her. Somehow, Brett Kavanaugh not being able to eat a chocolate cookie at a restaurant got more coverage.

Thinking about how a bunch of Asian American elders hit a shooter with a chair, subdued him, and hogtied him with an extension cord, while a bunch of armed police officers apparently stood outside the classroom where a shooter barricaded himself w/children and WAITED and WATCHED.

Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde. We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding. Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.

Today, I join all Americans in mourning those whose lives have been stolen in Uvalde. This tragedy is as horrifying as it is heartbreaking. My deepest condolences are with the families & loved ones of those killed, with those who were injured, & with the entire state of Texas. twitter.com/nytimes/status…

Interesting that two pro sports teams give up racist Native American names/mascots to become Guardians and Commanders in the same year the US becomes Gilead
Whenever Ginni Thomas is in the news, I am required by law to reshare that, when I was 13 and in my middle school's orchestra, I tripped and knocked over a bunch of music stands and she was sitting in the audience (right in front of my mom!) and loudly made fun of me all night.

Q-Anon/Trump cult with police escort, moving twice as fast as regular traffic would on a Wednesday, but making all the normal Americans wait for 20 minutes as the police humor their self-important temper tantrum…again

Eu estava bem quieta na minha casa quando tocou o telefone e era um amigo meu me procurando pra fazer um samba em homenagem a Portela. (Isso porque ele é do Império Serrano e precisava de um álibi). Quando ele chegou, criamos “Elegante Amanhecer” 💙 Obrigada
