JUST IN: Ray EPPS pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct on restricted Capitol grounds..sentenced 12/20.

Judge read from his statement of offense, which incl putting his hands on giant #Trump sign mob wielded against police.

EPPS was also on vid 5x trying to de-escalate conflicts betw police & rioters which may have been a factor in plea.

Statement of offense included his Jan5 statements saying “We need to go into the Capitol” & “I’m probably going to jail for it” #Jan6

The mistake most people make is doing a rapid test too early when they are pre-symptomatic, & thinking one negative test is sufficient. Please test multiple times over several days. If you test positive it's most likely you have COVID, if you are negative, it may be too early.

@DemocracyMattersALot So we’ve lost focus since he came to office? Why did he do that to us. 🙄

VFW Calls on Sen. Tommy Tuberville to Lift Hold on Military Promotions

VFW sends letter to Senator, while VFW National Commander admonishes “this is not the way Congress should do business”

September 18, 2023

WASHINGTON – In a letter sent Sept. 18, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) is calling on Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville to lift his hold on the routine promotion of military general and flag officers.

“The line in the sand for the VFW is simple: Political disputes must be handled by politicians – not within the ranks of the all-volunteer force. Sen. Tuberville’s hold on these routine promotions has consequences up and down the active-duty force that will take years to fix,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Duane Sarmiento. “By sending this letter, the VFW is making our voice very clear – this is not the way Congress should do business.”

I wanted to go up to those young Muslim mums at the anti-trans rally on Parliament Hill today - to explain that these right-wing transphobes are NOT their friends, that many of them probably dislike Muslim women in hijabs almost as much as they dislike queer/LGBQT people. I know politics makes strange bedfellows. But if we don't stand together to protect each other's rights - even when we disagree - then we stand nowhere. #cdnpoli #Ottawa #yow #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Has anyone checked to see if he wrapped dishes in classified docs when they were moving out of the White House? Melania’s glass paperweight collection? His pub glasses from the great golf courses of the world?

Trump is lying about his "moderate" abortion stance — he will ban it nationwide: Trump lies constantly, and history shows he and the GOP will repay evangelicals with a national abortion ban

If you ever wore that hideous red Trump hat you can’t talk about anyone else’s fashion choices for eternity. #news #politics

GOP's individual obstruction strategy will not end well...

Forced birth in a country with:

—No universal healthcare

—No universal childcare

—No paid family & medical leave

—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations

This isn't about "life." It's about control.

@mentallyalex@beige.party Do you have many deaf people in your family? @adhdeanasl

@adhdeanasl I love languages. I’d like to be as comfortable with ASL as I am with French or English. It’s a beautiful language.

Monitoring for statements from trustees and boards of education in #Ontario. Way to go, #Toronto District School Board for unequivocally asserting that you stand with transgender, Two Spirit, and non-binary youth ahead of the Sept 20 demonstrations.

Where is #Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s statement?
