🧵 #FearFraudFascism #StandUp GOP stole a Supreme Court Seat! Tried to steal the Presidency via coup! Attempting to steal Congress w/ voter suppression laws & now are attacking fundamental freedoms- a woman’s right to choose!

2022 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION of OUR LIFETIME!
The Court’s legitimacy is on the line.

For 50 years- Roe was settled law. “Stare Decisis”- was what many of these Republican Justices pledged to follow. They lied.

So what’s next:
⚖️ Marriage Equality?
⚖️ Loving v. VA?
⚖️ Brown v. Board?
The story here is that in an unprecedented move 5 Republican justices will overturn 50 years of legal precedence and destroy women’s rights and the legitimacy of the Supreme Court in the process.
If you are stuck in a hangover from 2020… wake up, stand up & let your voice be heard! From voting rights to women’s rights- Democrats must organize, register & vote in historic numbers in ‘22! Show the GOP that the American people will not allow our rights to be ravaged!
With every breath we must stand up to the full frontal attack on American Democracy from Trump & the radical GOP- banning books… targeting LGBT youth… celebrating Putin… stealing court seats… calling coups legitimate political discourse… & attacking the press. #HateWontWin
We also must be mindful of the immediate impact that this will have on women. This sets America back 50 years. Is this a return to back alley abortions? What happens to women that were raped & victims of incest? Will the health of the woman be considered? Birth control?
To change this we MUST GROW our Senate majority! Codify Roe! Codify VRA!

Support incumbents in AZ (Kelly), NM (Cortez Masto), GA (Warnock), NH (Hassan), & CO (Bennett)

Look at races in: VT, NC, PA, WI, FL, OH, IA, MO, KY, LA, UT, SC

🧵: When you & your kin have never had to worry about the FAFSA; college funds running out; pell/perkins $ coming in so as to buy books & food; the diff between subsidized/unsubsidized; finding a decent work study job & then starting life w/ 150k of debt, then you write this 👇🏾
For many, college is the gateway to break the cycle of poverty that entraps their family. I am a 1st-gen college grad. The first day I visited campus was the 1st day I enrolled. We couldn’t afford college visits- many can’t. I didn’t know what to expect & neither did my family.
On top of the demands & rigor of coursework, many students have financial anxiety. My first year, I was on the verge of having Thanksgiving alone in my dorm, but our Asst Bursar Alberta Deas heard about it & gave me a special loan to get a train ticket to SC to be with my family.

This week, Democrats celebrated 12 years of the Affordable Care Act, which provided access to affordable health care to those who need it. Meanwhile, Republicans are pushing their agenda to gut coverage and make health care more expensive.

Here's your #WeeklyStatesRoundup 🧵:
Republican Senator @RonJohnsonWI has called to repeal the ACA and take health care away from his constituents, but Democrats in Wisconsin are prepared to keep fighting to protect their health care.

This week, they took the fight to his office.

If Republicans take control, there’s a chance they could try to take affordable health care away from millions of people.

Democrats and President Biden will protect your health care and continue working to lower the price of prescription drugs.

Today’s jobs report makes it clear: President Biden’s economic plan is working. The economy is booming, and continues to exceed expectations. 🧵
Thanks to the work of Democrats who passed the American Rescue Plan, got millions of Americans vaccinated, and tackled supply chain bottlenecks, the economy has created a record 6.6 million jobs in 12 months.
2021 was the greatest year of job creation under any president in history.

While Republican lawmakers do everything they can to prolong the pandemic, the Biden-Harris administration is rolling up its sleeves and putting in the work to put this pandemic behind us.

Throughout Black History Month and all year long, Democrats celebrate the contributions of Black Americans past and present. 🧵
Both our party and our nation have come so far standing on the shoulders of giants like Fannie Lou Hamer, Jesse Jackson, and Shirley Chisholm, who paved a path for the historic leadership of President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris.
From the fight for equal rights in order to bend the long arc of the moral universe towards justice to pushing back against modern day Republican anti-voter efforts, Democrats are committed to showing up.

We stand up, and we don’t back down.

My grandpa used to say “if you aren’t man or woman enough to put your name on it & your reputation behind it , then it ain’t worth being said or done.” There is a lot of unnamed bullshit in politics, but no one can ever say that I don’t work my ass off for what I believe in.
I started working at 15 to pay for my own school clothes & help pay bills. Worked throughout college & worked FT on Capitol Hill while getting my degree at Georgetown Law. Worked my way up Capitol Hill as a top staffer, state party chair & now DNC chair.Working hard is in my dna.
I took a race for the senate where no one gave me a shot & turned it into one of the most exciting races last cycles. Started with 100 email addresses and $0, I out-raised & out debated a 20+ year incumbent Senator. Had him begging, crying & gave him the fight of his damn life!

Today, we honor the six million Jews who alongside millions of others—Roma and Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others—were targeted and murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. 🧵
It is the memory of these millions of people that remind us we can never be silent in the face of antisemitism and that we must unite to create a country and a world free of bigotry and hatred.
In the face of brazen antisemitic attacks and as we continue to support communities in Texas affected by the hostage crisis at Congregation Beth Israel, Democrats know that we must fight hatred and discrimination wherever they appear and end dehumanizing rhetoric.
