If you read the defense bill passed by House Republicans, you would think the greatest security threat to this nation is drag shows and pride flags. The modern GOP's incessant, hateful bullying of gay and transgender people is sick and delusional. And we need to call them out.

Democrats need to treat this relief package (and their legislative agenda) the way McConnell treats Supreme Court nominations: you do what needs to be done to get it done.

Joe Biden spent the final moments of the debate urging Americans to vote. Donald Trump spent the final moments of the debate trying to suppress and discount those votes. Vote like our democracy depends on it—because it does.

Also from the report: "12% of Connecticut adults reported that they worried other people might be suspicious of them if they wore a mask while in a store or business. Among Asian-Americans in Connecticut, an estimated 52% reported worrying about this."
This graphic shows the share of #Connecticut adults who say they wear a mask "very often" when leaving home, as of August. Learn more about the latest wave of our #WellbeingSurvey and access the data at ctdatahaven.org/blog/new-dat…, or read today's @CTMirror feature. #nnip #covid19

Absentee Ballot applications have begun to hit mailboxes in the 19th District! I encourage everyone to return their completed AB application ASAP. Voters can mail back their applications or drop them in one of their town's official ballot boxes. #District19 #ctpolitics

Today marks the beginning of #HispanicHeritageMonth. Educators have an opportunity to honor the diversity of Latinx cultures, including through Afro-Latinx stories. This resource provides strategies for teaching Afro-Latinx history and doing it justice. tolerance.org/professional-d…

During a season of protests and pandemic, our Fall 2020 magazine is here. Dive in to discover how students and educators are fighting for our rights, and how they’ve always done so. We hope you find value and resolve in these stories. tolerance.org/the-moment/sep…
