RBG NEVER GAVE UP.
Don’t you give up either.

This is bad but it isn’t hopeless. We need to hound GOP senators who promised not to nominate a justice in 2020 and hold them to their word.

Grassley, Graham, Murkowski.
Collins, Romney, Gardner.
Start now.

thehill.com/business-a-lob…
Graham is the head of judiciary so I’d focus there. He’s in a tough election fight.

Make him own this comment:

"If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait until the next election," Sen. Lindsey Graham, 2018
Collins is also in a tough election fight. Make her own this.
I know you’re thinking that only gets us to the election and then they’ll fill the seat anyway but we have a powerful weapon in our pocket if Biden wins and we flip the Senate.

It’s called court packing. And it’s a terrible idea but we do it anyway if the GOP doesn’t play fair.

Utah is ranked bottom of the nation for equal pay, education & air quality. They ban books, abortion & gender affirming care. Utah routinely engages in censorship of its own citizens. It is a dangerous place to live for LGBTQ people, women, and children.

Shame on @usnews Image
Should be headlined “Best states for white cis males to start an MLM and exploit their way to millionaire status.”
I mean… read your own damn article dated March 2023.

In high school in the 90s my first job that wasn’t working for my parents (I’d worked for them starting at 12) was behind the meat counter at a local grocery.

I wanted to stock shelves but the owner never hired girls to stock shelves.
I was 15.

(2) It was a very small NH town. If you were a kid and you wanted a job, this was where you worked. Period.

Once I started I realized the manager of the meat department was an utter misogynistic asshole. Dave loved the power trip of controlling and taunting young girls.
(3) When you were the new girl the rule was you cleaned the meat room every night. It was a horrible job washing away all the blood & guts & sanitizing it.

The new girl cleaned it every shift until it was done correctly.

Who decided when you’d done it correctly? Dave did.
