This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Our tests revealed relatively high levels of harmful chemicals in store-bought Lunchables and similar lunch kits. Our kids deserve better! Sign @CRAdvocacy petition urging the @USDA to remove these types of lunch kits from the school lunch program. action.consumerreports.org/s…

Kraft Heinz saw schools as a huge, untapped market for them to make big profits.
That's why they spent millions lobbying to get Lunchables into schools lunches.
There's just one problem. @ConsumerReports found lead and other dangerous ingredients in Lunchables.

Voters deserve a choice that aligns with their priorities, not the extremes of either party. I'm running for governor to cut housing costs, make neighborhoods safer, keep illegal drugs illegal, and provide a new direction that doesn't involve taxing our way out of every problem.

When we organize, we win!
Working Tennesseans who care about our public schools came together from across the state to fight the voucher scam & corporate interest. This victory is for all of us & shows that when we come together, we can change what's possible.
Here's a recap⤵️
22 Apr 2024
We won!! This was only possible because of parents, students, educators and community members organizing together across the state.
Congratulations to everyone who gave their time to this effort, here’s some of what we did together:

INBOX: SCOTUS has denied an attempt to stay the US District Court ruling that found the #WAELEX Redistricting Commission violated the Voting Rights Act.
A new map ordered by a federal judge last month, that redrew boundaries in the Yakima Valley, will remain for elections.
