And this is why I won't vacation in Florida.Too many stupid people voting for incredible stupid Republicans.Being gay is not a communicable disease, it's a sexual orientation. Gay and straight children need to have be affirmed, not hidden in a closet.Florida legislature passes ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill to restrict LGBTQ topics in elementary schools - The Washington Posthttps://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/03/08/florida-bill-lgbtq-schools/?outputType=comment&no_nav=true

@TonyStarkHi Everyone. Tony you hit the nail right on the head.For all their rhetoric of ensuring “fair elections” and claims of “proven voter fraud,” one might believe that these Americans, the insurrectionists and lawmakers and the millions who support their efforts, are driven by an abiding passion for democracy.But that’s not what the data tell us. Or history.This Christianity is something more than the orthodox Christianity of ancient creeds; it is more of an ethnic Christian-ism. In its most extreme form it legitimizes the type of violence we saw on Jan. 6 and the recent flood of voting restrictions. Violence and legislation not in service of democracy, but instead for fundamentally anti-democratic goals."Party of life" My Ass!

@TonyStarkI agree, Tony. "It's the first such safety bill in 30+ years. It makes valuable progress, although imperfect, and it opens the gates for more."I just wish legislation included a ban on assault rifles and included universal background checks ...

This just pisses me off ...The Supreme Court on Thursday sharply cut back the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to reduce the carbon output of existing power plants, a blow to President Biden’s commitment to battle #climatechange.West Virginia v. EPA is the latest battle pitting the coal industry and Republican-led states against a Democratic administration that proposes sweeping changes to the way the nation’s power sector produces electricity, the nation’s second-largest source of climate-warming pollution.Justice Elena Kagan wrote ...“Today, the Court strips the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the power Congress gave it to respond to ‘the most pressing environmental challenge of our time,’ ” (1of2)

Justice Roberts wrote “Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,’ ” Referring to a court precedent. “But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme.”We need rules to avert climate disaster .... VOTE!!!!!!!(2 of 2)

Happy Independence Day ... As we celebrate, let’s just keep the day’s true meaning in our minds and hearts, remembering the price that was paid to pave the way for the liberties we enjoy.

@TonyStarkAccording to many national polls, the majority of Americans, are sympathetic to women seeking abortions if ... they are victims of rape or incest, if... they have a serious health concern, or if... the baby will be born with a disability. Although from the same polls. I've seen they are significantly less willing to approve of abortion in cases of economic hardship or personal preference.It's my opinion, when stories of women seeking unsafe and illegal abortions hit the front pages, when victims of rape or incest find themselves forced to bear children, when underfunded social services struggle to provide adequate care for newly born but uncared-for infants, all of that must and will change if we use our voice and ...#Vote #VoteForDemocrats #VoteStateandLocalElections

@TonyStarkLet's see where were at ... A defeated former president who was at the center of a failed coup (allegedly) walks out the door with nuclear secrets, refuses to give them back and then leaves a creepy, semi-threatening message for the attorney general ...TFG and his apologists are as dangerous to our national security as spies and traitors who would spirit away our most closely held secrets.Like this guy ... Rand Paul who now wants to repeal the Espionage Act amid the Mar-a-Lago investigation.👇https://www.npr.org/2022/08/15/1117457622/rand-paul-what-is-espionage-act-repeal#Vote For Democrats #VoteBlue #Vote

Attention New York State Voters!!!!!!The polls are too damn close! But the election is not going to be decided by polls. It'll be decided by us .... the voters! That is, if we get out and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot. You can vote early through Sunday or you can vote on Tuesday, November 8.So please get out there and vote! Bring your loved ones. Share this message with your friends. Knock on your neighbors' doors. Remind people at the supermarket, the playground, the gym, or wherever else you head over the next few days to vote for Democrats.

@TonyStarkWhat a coincidence. My Mom recently sold her home and moved to a retirement community. Yesterday, myself and 2 friends knocked on over 200 doors offering people (all seniors) a ride to their polling place to vote. Surprisingly, many accepted our offer that were not going to vote.Today We Drive! :Hawkeye: @Magess

Good news! Abortion rights advocates score major midterm victories across the country ....Even in heavily Republican states voters demonstrated strong support for abortion access.Republicans have real trouble understanding the word "no," especially coming from women.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/09/abortion-midterms-kentucky-michigan/
