The recent funeral of Pierre Damas Bel, the 20 year old Haitian college student in Springfield, OH, who is believed to have committed suicide because of the loss of #HaitiTPS, is a powerful reminder that passage of S.4814 is urgent and that Senate Republicans hold the key.
Is there a double standard in how we treat refugees based on race? blackpressusa.com/op-ed-hait… @NNPA_BlackPress

Russian State Media (TASS) was in the meeting.
AP and Reuters were not.

Joe Manchin single-handedly consigned millions of children to poverty because of his baseless belief that poor parents used the 2021 child tax credit payments to buy drugs.
Study confirms parents didn’t use their CTC to buy drugs in 2021:
“There were no significant associations between advance child tax credit payments and changes in the probability or frequency of alcohol, cannabis, or illicit substance use among parents.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

The Treaty Principles Bill removes NZ's indigenous people from a legal status which assured them of consultation, consideration and compensation
Saying it is about "equal rights" is a colonising smokescreen weaponised to gas light and distort public perception the bill's intent.

On Friday, we sent a letter to senators signed by 140+ national orgs urging confirmation of ALL pending judicial nominees. Last night, @SenSchumer moved forward on 9 more nominees who will strengthen our judiciary. We must get this done. #ConfirmJudgesNow civilrights.org/blog/to-prot…

We applaud the Senate’s confirmation of Judge Mustafa Kasubhai, Sarah Russell, and Judge Rebecca Pennell to federal district courts in Oregon, Connecticut, and Washington state. Their appointments strengthen our judiciary and our democracy. We must keep going. #ConfirmJudgesNow

The Senate’s consideration of a president’s judicial nominees is one of its core functions and has huge implications for our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy.
It’s critical that senators continue voting on President Biden’s highly qualified nominees. #ConfirmJudgesNow

So popular you never mentioned the issue you lobby for in ads.
So popular you took GOP money and courted Republicans to meddle in Dem primaries.
So popular your candidate needed to spend 15x more than what I spent to defeat a 52-year family dynasty.

If Superintendent Walters really wanted to put Bibles in every classroom, he would have done it. It's not hard or expensive. It would take no more than a few hours of time and a handful of phone calls to secure private funds (maybe $150,000) and the bibles. Instead... 1/3

is the left “obsessed” with gender, sexuality, race, etc, or are they just constantly having to defend people in marginalized groups against a right wing that’s ACTUALLY obsessed with gender, sexuality, race, etc

Elon Musk was sued today in a class action brought by signers of his America PAC petition "giveaway."
They say Elon fraudulently advertised that winners would be chosen randomly, when really they were pre-selected.

I saw something last might about this. How MAGAs are no longer gloating about "liberal tears" because liberals aren't crying.
The first time was a shock.
The second time everyone knew exactly what they were doing.
So liberals see this, rightly, as an assault on American values and the futures of their children and grandchildren.
They're not crying, they're cutting fascists out of their lives because now they've got to deal with the world the trolls made.
And so the trolls are all stuck with one another now, but the problem is their primary motivation was gloating over the Liberal Tears. So they're out of steam. And the MAGAs actually fucking hate *each other* too, so I'm the absence of snowflake tears they're quickly going to turn on one another.
When you elect fascism in my country you have told me who you are. You are full of hatred for the most vulnerable people in our society. You don't care about the environment or public health or education or human rights or the rule of law.
Fine, but we don't owe you a second more of our lives so you can feel better reveling in our sadness. We've gotta deal with the shitshow you've brought to our shores, so suck it up, buttercups.
