#Iowa's economy: ranked 49th by Trump's admin-under GOP control. IA education: fell from top 5 to middle of the pack. Your tax $’s: funding private school vouchers for the state's richest families. Rob Sand wants to redirect that money to universal pre-K for your kids. ⬇️ #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

There are likely fewer trans women in NCAA sports than there are Cornell frat boys who drug and rape women.

They hate women. Period. Its obvious more and more everyday. They want to take our rights away, and feel that our bodies are theirs to control. To them, women aren't people, they are possessions and servants. Sorry...this make me so angry.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

Scott Bessent told Physics PhD @repbillfoster.bsky.social that Oppenheimer was not a physicist. 🤦‍♂️
Threads post by @american_bridge - image of Rep Bill Foster 

“Robert Oppenheimer was not a physicist...”

Oppenheimer earned a doctorate in physics. He was a professor of theoretical physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Caltech. He was the father of the atomic bomb.

He was very much a physicist.

Big news: The family of Tierra Walker, who died after she couldn't get an abortion, is suing a slate of Texas actors in state court, including AG Ken Paxton. They say the state ban is unconstitutional. This is the first suit of its kind. 19thnews.org/2026/09/texa...

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton
The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”

Remember that the more Senate seats we win in 2026 the easier it will be to get a supermajority in 2028 and keep the majority in 2030. This is about the Supreme Court, bit new justices and reform. Volunteer, donate, vote.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.
