I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

BREAKING: YES! Decision Desk calls it.
Gerrymandering is anti-democratic but if one party does it, the other has to respond. US democracy is in trouble.
“Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a Democratic redistricting plan that could allow the party to pick up as many as four new seats in the midterm elections”

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Okay, now I'm crying--a young Massachusetts native fell as he neared the finish line of the Boston Marathon. He tried to get up 3 times, falling back down to the pavement. One runner stopped and helped him to his feet, another joined, and he finished, arms over the shoulders of his two rescuers. 🥹💙
Pennsylvania's appellate court confirmed that access to abortion is a fundamental right under the Pennsylvania Constitution.
This decision is a win for all Pennsylvanians.
The government shouldn't be making your healthcare decisions - you should.

My Mom hadn’t had anything to eat or drink for days before she died. Apparently at like 3am on the day she passed, she randomly woke up and asked a nurse for a piece of cake.
And that’s the most ‘my Mom’ thing she could have possibly done. She was barely alive, but still asked for cake. 😅🥲
100%!
I'm 65 and I'll go down fighting with you. I'm not trans - I'm plain vanilla - but there's never been, and never will be, an argument that will persuade me that you living your life harms anyone else to the point that you need to be stopped.
The SAVE act died in the Senate.
As politely as I can, it is hard to overstate how stupid GOP voters are. Anything not GOP is "Marxism and communism" according to them.

This doggo was adopted at the age of 18, after 17 years of living in a shelter, to at least experience the warmth and love of a family. And now, he just turned 21! Happy birthday, baby! ♥️

I get as much content for a day here as I can possibly handle, thank you very much.
ICYMI — new HUNGARY 🇭🇺 PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
This is a war based on lies
Having a grilled cheese sandwich.
The sun just came out.
Listening to jazz on the AirPods.
And BOOM, now I have tears in my eyes for no discernible reason. I miss my dad. It's been two months.
This is what everyone talks about: grief being a glitter bomb that just goes off, huh.
It's official: The House has sworn in Democratic Rep. Analilia Mejia.
More of this, please.
Everyone needs to start tying these wars of choice to the fact that we're paying for them in our money, our lives, while Trump grabs money with both hands and says you can't have health care or decent education for your kids.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”
There should be an audit done on every Republican in Congress to see how much money they have in their bank accounts and where exactly it came from.
I swear Trump has to be a full on filthy Russian asset, because he's doing everything possible to destroy America. What pisses me off to no end is every elected republican is just standing by and letting the orange taint do it.
We have two bathrooms.
One is my husband's and the other is mine.
Today, I banned my husband from my bathroom because he didn't put the toilet seat back down.
Clearly, he is a feral animal.
