🚨| Taylor Swift officially announces “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” will be released on October 27th at tonight’s show of ‘The Eras Tour’ in Los Angeles, California! #TSTheErasTour #LATSTheErasTour #1989TaylorsVersion
I am so proud to be a volunteer in the same organization as these brave people in Texas.
IT’S WORKING: In the wake of another mass shooting in Texas, our volunteers converged on the Texas State Capitol today, demanding lawmakers take swift action on a bill that would #RaiseTheAge to purchase and possess firearms from 18 to 21! Hours later, the bill advanced! #TxLege

We shouldn't have to live like this.
Call your U.S. House rep and urge them to reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban: Text FED UP to 644-33 and we'll connect you.

Thoughts and prayers without action won’t keep us safe from gun violence. We need bold action from elected officials to end this crisis.
Demand it: Text FED UP to 644-33 to call your rep & urge them to reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban.

THEY DID IT!!! Surrounded by @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers, @GovWhitmer just signed TWO new laws requiring background checks on all gun sales and secure storage.
This is the result of years of hard work by volunteers to elect a gun sense trifecta in Michigan. #mileg

REMEMBER: the TX ruling invalidating the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a safe and effective abortion pill, does not take effect for 7 days. Legal experts expect more rulings between now and then.
If you or a loved one need abortion care now, resources are still available.

Congress must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, require safe storage of firearms, eliminate gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability, and require background checks for all gun sales, and state officials must do the same.

Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson speaks after vote to expel him from the House over participating in gun protests: “Our lives are at stake. And we're going to fight for our lives, just like they're fighting for the NRA." #TenneseeThree

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

“You can expel me but you cannot expel this movement.”
@brotherjones_ moments are being expelled from the TN State House.

Don’t tell us you’re a pro-life lawmaker if you’re not doing anything to stop this.

Schools should be sanctuaries of safety for children, not where they go to die. This should not be our normal.
Text ACT to 644-33 to join the millions of Americans demanding action to #EndGunViolence.

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows.
Don’t you dare act surprised.
Someone (Taylor) told his (Ticketmaster) white collar crimes to the FBI.
The Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the owner of Ticketmaster, whose sale of Taylor Swift concert tickets descended into chaos, said people with knowledge of the matter. The investigation predates the botched sale, they said. nyti.ms/3gpmk7k
ALT Headline reads: Justice Department Said to Investigate Ticketmaster’s Parent Company. Text reads: The inquiry predates the botched presale of Taylor Swift tickets this week and is said to focus on whether Live Nation has abused its power in the live music industry.
