This *single provision* in the March 2021 Democrat-only American Rescue Plan is currently lifting almost HALF of all children in this country out of poverty. A remarkable feat! Manchin’s red line would deliberately shove millions of them back into poverty.

The U.S. Senate will vote on the Freedom to Vote Act this week & on the John Lewis Act soon. An argument being used against them is that Congress shouldn’t pass voting standards. That’s a false argument contradicted by the U.S. Constitution & our political history. Thread 1/

They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You reply “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either” & show before & after transformations illustrating how cities we admire made CHOICES. They try different excuses. Don’t accept them either. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)

Homework should be banned in America. We should be teaching society that work happens at work not after work at home when you’re supposed to be enjoying family time, and general free time.

Facebook says trump will be banned for another year and a half. Not good enough. We demand it be permanent.

Why did 23 Utah cities opt-in to #RankedChoiceVoting this year? The system saves time ⏰ and money 💵 when it replaces runoff elections, while also creating an incentive for candidates to stay positive and focus on the issues 🙌 bit.ly/3tC48rH

Walmart has given $60,000 in political contributions to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election. Unacceptable.

If you need to be a voter's 2nd or 3rd choice to win, you'll be more likely to consider what the voter really wants and find meaningful ways to reach them. You can't just rely on tearing your opponents down.
