This is the MAGA Party. More comfortable with violence than voting, cruelty than compassion. Like a fish, the rot is from the head down. Their followers commit violence because their leaders glorify it.

Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) seems to joke about the assassination attempt on Speaker Nancy Pelosi while campaigning for GOP congressional candidate Yesli Vega: “There’s no room for violence anywhere, but we’re going to send her back to be with him in California.”

"A new amendment to #DontSayGay, deliberately puts LGBTQ youth in harm's way. It requires schools to ‘out’ students to unsupportive parents before they're ready, even when doing so would reasonably result in abuse, abandonment or neglect." -@CarlosGSmith newsweek.com/florida-dont-sa…

I can’t get past this. Maybe bc it triggers memories of being choke-slammed against the bathroom wall. Having my arm squeezed so tightly, I had to hide the bruises. Being told I was better off taking my own life than being gay. Knowingly outing kids to an abuser will cost lives. – at Orlando, FL

We need an all hands on deck situation wherein entertainers refuse to play in Florida, films and TV productions shut down, businesses refuse to give them their $, etc. DeSantis is looking to outplay Trump with the hate rhetoric for votes. It should cost FL financially.

I've reached out to all the top corporate donors to the politicians behind this bill. None have responded. We did not see this kind of corporate ambivalence to anti-LGBTQ legislation in North Carolina in 2016. 2022 is different. popular.info/p/florida-polit…

A bill advancing rapidly through the Florida legislature would prohibit many of the state's teachers from discussing "sexual orientation or gender identity" in class.

The Voters' Rights Amendment was passed in 1965 and is now weakened by 2013 SCOTUS ruling and current Republican voter suppression bills. Dwell in the past?

The fight for voting rights takes persistence. As MLK exhorted, “The clock of destiny is ticking out. We must act now before it is too late.” Thank you, @POTUS, for refusing to relent until the work is finished. Welcome back to Georgia where we get good done. #FTVA #JLVRAA

Can you believe it's been almost 20 years since I first got to share my voice with you? That's a long time. A LOT has changed! We need powerful voices more than ever, so I'm running for Congress. And my voice is even stronger now! ;-) #JoinTheChorus clayaiken.com
