For more than two decades in Congress, Raúl Grijalva was a fierce advocate for the environment and putting quality, affordable health care within reach for more Americans. Arizonans could not have asked for a better voice in Washington, and our thoughts are with Raúl’s family and everyone who loved him.

Jamaican people are Black. Jamaican people are not African-American. This is why folks need to just stop saying African-American. Just use Black. Capital B. If you’re still calling Black people African-American, it tells me that you’re not comfortable around Black people.

Gay dating app Grindr is experiencing an unprecedented 350% increase in traffic this week in the city of Milwaukee and the RNC being there is the obvious reason. The biggest homophobic hateful bigots are often the most closeted hypocrites. 🏳️‍🌈

For the first time in a long time things are beginning to feel the way they are supposed to feel in a country that is facilitating a genocide.

So the parent who got my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb banned for elementary students @BGEC_Bobcats has ties to WHITE SUPREMACIST ORGS. Anyone surprised?@MiamiDadeCounty This is a shame for the children in your school system who deserve to have access to poetry.

This is the one parent who successfully got Amanda Gorman’s poem banned. Will the Miami-Dade school district reverse this decision now that it’s surfaced that parent as ties to a white supremacist organization? Or does the comfort of a white supremacist matter more?

.@GovRonDeSantis spearheaded a slate of discriminatory laws & policies in Florida that pose significant risk to the health & safety of those considering relocation or travel to the state. Alongside @HRC, we have reissued our Travel Advisory—we must fight for our LGBTQ community.

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

Happening today: Over a hundred drag queens and allies in Florida stand in the rotunda and chant, "drag is not a crime." Gov. DeSantis law intended to target drag has resulted in Pride parades being cancelled in the state and even a travel advisory.

If you are trans and want to transition in Missouri, you have until April 27th to start before they require 3 years of "intense dysphoria." There are a dozen informed consent clinics in the state. Get started on treatment ASAP to be grandfathered in. google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer…

As of April 27, the state of Missouri will have a three-year waiting period before allowing you to change your gender and a 0-day waiting period before allowing you to purchase an AR-15. Priorities.

In response to Missouri AG's move to ban gender affirming care for trans adults, Matt Walsh states "You shouldn't be allowed to change your gender at all." They have moved into the next step on transgender elimination. This is a new phase in their war against trans people.

Make no mistake, people use libraries for more than books. They use it to apply for jobs. For a safe space during the cold. To act as daycare when they have work. To fill out paperwork like to vote or get aid. THIS is censorship and systematic genocide. Slowly but surely.

Missouri Republicans have voted to defund all public libraries. It is an apparent extortion attempt to try to force libraries to remove books that include LGBTQ characters or racial justice themes. (per @HeartlandSignal) heartlandsignal.com/2023/04/…

Let's send some appreciation to the senators who are doing all they can to protect our rights and stop the near-total abortion ban. Special thanks to @NebraskaMegan and @senatormachaela for opening our faith leader press conference. #NEleg

When you can’t burn some of the books, so you decide to burn all of the books. It’s straight from the segregationist playbook: When towns were forced to integrate pools, many chose to destroy them instead. Bigotry harms everyone—not just its target. heartlandsignal.com/2023/04/…

Equality Florida has issued a travel advisory encouraging LGBTQ+ people and allies to avoid nonessential travel to Florida. Policies being considered and passed there along with executive actions lead EQFL to state that they "pose a serious risk to health and safety."
Equality Florida Issues Advisory Warning For Travel ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Today, Equality Florida took the extraordinary step of issuing a travel advisory, warning of the risks posed to the health, safety, and freedom of those considering short or long term travel, or relocation to the state. The move comes in response to a wave of safety inquiries Equality Florida has received following the passage of laws that are hostile to the LGBTQ community, restrict access to reproductive health care, repeal gun safety laws, foment racial prejudice, and attack public education by banning books and censoring curriculum. “As an organization that has spent decades working to improve Florida’s reputation as a welcoming and inclusive place to live work and visit, it is with great sadness that we must respond to those asking if it is safe to travel to Florida or remain in the state as the laws strip away basic rights and freedoms,” said Nadine Smith, Equality Florida Executive Director. “While losin
