I believe in a right to a good education. From that perspective, public education should be funded to the highest standard throughout the system. Otherwise, you are denying children a basic right.

Kids need a good education to be healthy and successful in life. It’s pretty pro-life, really.

Consistent Republican lies:

– Republicans are strong on defense.
– Republicans are for the military and for veterans.
– Republicans are hard on crime and prevent crime.
– They stand up for justice and the rule of law.
– Republicans are "for life."
– Republicans are for family values.
– Republicans are better for the economy, and they reduce deficits.

It's all lies.

Girls have a right to be comfortable all day and in all kinds of weather and join in the activities of their peers without fear or discomfort and to wear a skirt or not as they choose. Charter schools that receive public funds must follow public rules. The Supreme Court isn't exactly doing doing everything or much I want but these two things matter.

The Ohio GOP has gerrymandered themselves into a supermajority – and that supermajority is very unhappy that a petition from Ohio citizens allowing a vote protecting reproductive choice will be on the ballot in November. So they rushed through a constitutional amendment to try and raise the threshold for passage from a simple majority to 60%.

Yeah, Ohio Democrats are mobilized and fighting hard on this one – and need your help and support to get the word out to every voter in #Ohio.

This makes sense. They are separate cases.

A Grand Jury for crimes committed in Washington and a separate Grand Jury for crimes committed in Florida- good. To be fair I should say "alleged" crimes, but Trump has publically admitted his guilt, over and over again, on recorded telephone calls, all kinds of videos, social media posts, and almost every time he opens his mouth.

Why it matters if Trump is charged in Florida or Washington (or both)-

Somehow I doubt Ron DeSantis plans to issue pardons to people I would say fall into the category of "where government's been weaponized against disfavored groups." (Hint: White guys with guns are not disfavored.) It doesn't really go with being governor of the state where the civil rights groups have just warned people not to travel to because of new, hostile laws DeSantis has encouraged and signed.

No one give DeSantis any more power than he already has.

@TonyStark If you don’t want an abortion, don’t get one from. If you want to go to church then do so, but don’t force religion on everyone else, if you don’t want to dispense certain pharma drugs, then don’t work in a pharmacy, if you don’t like drag, then avoid drag shows etc. It’s a long list.
