For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do? 9295392210114 0

They will say judicial activism justifies it. They will say whatever they think they need to say to keep on board whatever Republicans they think they need to keep on board. But it was always going to happen. 2892749765 0
Yasmin Simon @yasminsimon.bsky.social · 06/03/2025And here’s a fun fact - once prices are raised, they rarely go down. Just more profits for corporations. Is America Great Again Yet? My grocery bill says NO. My 401k says NO. We, the People, say NO. 020 0
Yasmin Simon @yasminsimon.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Elect a Clown Expect a Circus. Every time Trump threatens tariffs, prices increase. It does not matter that he’s the most unserious person ever to be in the vicinity of the Oval Office and these tariffs never happen. Business must plan and when tariffs are even THREATENED, prices go UP. 130 0

Simon @jeffreybsimon.bsky.social · 21/01/2025⚖️ With the Disney lawsuit shining a spotlight on forced arbitration, Jeffrey unpacks how forced arbitration is quietly dismantling our 7th Amendment right to a jury trial. Now is the time for every American to understand how corporations are rewriting the rules of justice. 121 0
Yasmin Simon @yasminsimon.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Get ready Chicago….you are MAGA 2.0’s first stop. Pretty brilliant if you think about it.

Yasmin Simon @yasminsimon.bsky.social · 10/01/2025The larger issue is there isn’t an insurance company around that will insure new homes in CA post fire. We’ve already seen that in Tahoe post the massive snowfall in 2022. Same in Florida. Without insurance new builds are nearly impossible. 010 0
Yasmin Simon @yasminsimon.bsky.social · 13/12/2024This is the Texas the majority of voters wanted so here we go. The only guarantee is that more women will die because the next woman won’t go to the hospital. #abortion #txlege #healthcare #howmabymustdie www.texastribune.org/2024/12/13/t...texastribune.orgTexas files first lawsuit against out-of-state abortion providerThis case sets up a legal battle between Texas’ near-total abortion ban and New York’s shield law that protects doctors from out-of-state prosecution. 033 0

Reposted by Yasmin SimonMichelle H. Davis @lonestarleft.com · 13/11/2024Anyway. Back to Texas politics. Republican Representative Cody Vasut (Brazoria County) filed a bill to make it illegal for women to divorce their husbands on the grounds of impotence. #txlege 6158 0
