It's long past time the 2006 GOP/NRA championed federal law granting gun manufactures immunity from civil suits be repealed. These lawsuits will compel gun companies to make guns safer to reduce gun deaths-just like car companies did when sued.

Meet Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh

Beginning in February, she has filibustered every single bill that has come before the legislature. Nothing has passed

Why?

She’s filibustering LB574, a Republican made bill that would ban gender-affirming care for anyone under 19

She talks up to 12 hours a day to keep hate from becoming law

Hero.

I wonder how many women will die in the next few decades because we didn't listen to Anita Hill? Thousands? More? [From 2010: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/anita-hill-vs-clarence-thomas-the-backstory/]

I don't know about you but I want an organization of people trained in medicine to determine what drugs to put to market, like say the FDA, and not some lone rando judge who may be educated in the law but not much more.

Texas Gov Abbott pardons man convicted of MURDERING a BLM protester--who was white- bc Tucker Carlson demanded it. Killer even posted before shooting he was going to kill someone. GOP is saying you can literally KILL people they disagree with politically and we will protect you.

The cruelty is astonishing

It's long past time to reform the Supreme Court. Here are 5 ways to do it.

An Emergency Democracy Crisis is happening right now in Tennessee. Duly elected Democratic State Reps have been kicked off their committees, their ID badges & voting machines have been turned off, & threats being made to expel them. https://www.tiktok.com/@underthedesknews/video/7217911114351332651

The Fed has been hellbent on raising interest rates to slow the economy, but this puts the burden of fighting inflation on workers.

To continue punishing them by increasing rates to drive unemployment, especially when America’s safety nets are in tatters, is just plain cruel.

Wages grew only 0.2% from Jan to Feb according to today’s jobs report.

Translation: Were not dealing with a “wage-price” spiral — wage gains pushing up prices.

We’re dealing with a “profit-price” spiral — corporate profits driving up prices.

Stop raising interest rates.

"Dear Media, Stop trying to make it sound like McCarthy is taking a principled stand by "refusing to negotiate with terrorists" when it is EXACTLY these terrorists that McCarthy has capitulated to ever since they attacked the Capitol in hopes of securing their votes for this job."

@TonyStark

In a better world, moderates in the Republican Party (if there are any of those left) would see this as an opportunity to leave the extremists high-and-dry by forming a coalition-of-the-reasonable with the Democrats.

That would do so much to heal America and to preserve democracy but I don’t expect it because, well, you can imagine.
