Tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Bayer for failing to warn people about the risks of glyphosate exposure.
Now, EPA Administrator Zeldin and Trump are pushing for legal immunity to protect Bayer from being sued by Americans getting cancer from their product.

FARM BILL UPDATE: After first saying they would be pulling the Farm Bill debate, we just learned debate WILL proceed tonight.
We cannot allow this bill to pass with the pesticide liability shield language. Striking this language has broad bipartisan support—both within the House Chamber and across America.
Support the @RepLuna Amendment!

Since relocating to IL in 2021 my family and I have relied on @NWSQuadCities to know when to take shelter from tornados, severe thunderstorms and straight-line winds.

Women know that men don’t scheme to “dress like girls” to assault them.
They do it every day in broad daylight. And the ones in power protect each other to keep it quiet.
Just ask the House Ethics Committee. Or the President-elect of the United States.
Leave women alone.

@JoeNBC If you’re going to keep covering the anti trans ads from this cycle please speak with ASO Communications about messages they tested that inoculated those transphobic ads & won back voters.

We are clearly in an environment where facts are not enough to neutralize these tactics. Saying actually that policy was Trump’s wouldn’t have been enough to undo the damage of those ads. If facts were enough the election outcome would have been different.

Please read this article from the folks at ASO Communications re: their proven messaging that inoculates Trump’s transphobic ads & wins back voters without continuing to dehumanize trans folks.

I watch @Morning_Joe every morning and it was demoralizing to watch @JoeNBC essentially agree with the premise of these harmful ads. So bring @anatosaurus on the show so she can uncomplicate freedom and humanizing trans folks for him.

The legislature's relentless focus on anti-transgender legislation is shameful and out of touch with the values of the people of Ohio.
If @GovMikeDeWine doesn't veto HB 68, LGBTQ families will be in crisis overnight.

The entire premise of the right-wing legal movement is the belief that white Christians are under constant threat of persecution by a secular society, which is belied by how frequently they need to manufacture examples of that persecution from whole cloth washingtonpost.com/investiga…

"I am a Black gay man who is a direct descendent of the transatlantic slave trade." Do not miss @allenmorrisiv on advocating with @TheTaskForce at the intersection of Black, #immigrant & #LGBTQ rights. #EqualityAct

In a bold move, Arlington Public Schools has announced that it will not comply with new state anti-trans policies dictated by Governor Glen Youngkin of Virginia.
Other school districts appear to be moving that way as well.

As the first openly LGBTQI member from Illinois, I know how important it is to stand against attacks on our community.
I am proud to help introduce the #EqualityAct, which fully protects LGBTQI people against discrimination and is a historic step to ensuring justice for all.
21 Jun 2023
Today, Co-Chair @RepMarkTakano & @EqualityCaucus leadership reintroduced the #EqualityAct in the House.
This bill sends a clear message that LGBTQI people deserve the same protections from discrimination as every other marginalized group. 🏳️🌈

A Trump-appointed judge blocked a gender affirming care ban for trans youth.
The landmark ruling stated that the only "irreparable harm" done to trans kids is the laws that block their care.
I analyze the opinion here.

Transgender and intersex youth alike deserve support to grow up who THEY want to be, not who lawmakers want to force them to be.
