This is unlawful blatant racist systemic voter suppression in real time.
Sending solidarity to the Texas lawmakers getting into good trouble to try to protect our democracy. This isn’t over.

Fare-free transit gives commuters the chance to traverse their community for work, school, worship, & more without having to worry about cost.
Our Freedom to Move Act pushes for more fare-free transit funds to eliminate financial barriers, connect communities, & help folks take advantage of the things that make the #MA7 a model.

This is nothing short of a genocide, creating a man-made famine crisis to starve children and families. The US must use every tool available to urgently get critical aid into Gaza.

It is the responsibility of the Smithsonian museums to ensure a full, accurate, and resonant telling of our shared American history.
Trump has no right to censor, whitewash, or replace it with false narratives forged with white supremacist ideology.
