No on 3 @voterrightsma.bsky.social · 6h
Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social is proud to join our broad coalition to oppose this harmful ballot question and keep power in the hands of the people. Vote No on 3.
We can't let private equity & dark money groups rig [our] primaries to shut out working class candidates, candidates of color, and first-time candidates.

A Missouri ballot measure would ban state legislators from rolling back a voter-approved initiative unless they can muster 80 percent of lawmakers. When Republicans repealed a paid sick leave measure last year, the vote fell well below that threshold.

A reminder that if not for the Supreme Court in US v. MORRISON, Jane Doe would have had access to the federal courts for a civil rights action. The Court said that rape is a local matter no matter how great the impact on commerce.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

This is the crux of the issue. It’s not just enough to “vote harder”; the Democratic Party leadership has to fix their hearts. But they are completely beholden to the consultant class…which is mainly focused on raising money…which requires that their donors know, “nothing will fundamentally change”

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
