After decades of contentious debate, #Trump thinks he has a "solution" to the #Abortion fight -- but it's a secret.

He didn't appear to be kidding.

Unless you’re for all humanity equally, unless you’re a fierce advocate for every living being, you’re aren’t really pro-life—you’re simply committed to using women’s bodies as battle ground in a hollow holy war.

The Religious Right needs to face their refusal to honor the sanctity of life beyond the womb and outside of white Evangelical nationalism—and the Left needs to rightly take back the phrase, and redefine what it means to truly be pro-life.

#VegasStronger - In Vegas last year, a gun-obsessed killer took 58 lives. He fired 1,057 shots in 11 minutes.

This isn't normal. But for our country, this is not new.

We must have the political courage to act—to demand gun safety—before 1 more life is lost.

#BelieveSurvivors "The Rape Abuse and Incest National Network reports that 1 in 4 of female students ages 18-24 experience rape or sexual assault, but that only 20 percent of them report it.

According to the Justice Department, girls ages 14 to 17 experience the highest rate of sexual assault among all groups: close to 11 percent. For all children under 18, only about 13 percent of sexual assaults are reported to police.

Ford’s silence is the norm, not the exception, and has nothing to do with her veracity."

#NationalVoterReistrationDay - There's a lot at stake this November. Many people fought for the right for EVERY citizen to vote. If we stay home, critical issues that affect our families and communities get ignored.

Today on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, register to vote and then get to the polls on Nov. 6. Text WeAllVote to 97779 to get started. #WhenWeAllVote

Take 30 seconds to double check your registration status and make sure you’re ready to vote on November 6.

👉If you've moved recently, you need to register to vote again.

👉If you changed your name, you need to register to vote again.

👉If you haven't voted over the past four years, you need to register to vote again.

👉And if you live in states like Ohio and Georgia, you might have been purged from the rolls -- not because you did anything wrong, but because Ohio and Georgia have been a bit overzealous recently in "cleaning out" their voter files.

Fortunately, you still have plenty of time to double check your registration and register to vote again if you need to.

#Trump promised to restore the old system of dominion—by lawmakers, husbands, pastors, institutions, and judges—over women’s reproduction. Arguably that platform propelled Trump into the White House: Many evangelical Christian voters chose to overlook Trump’s flagrant sexual immorality, his overt contempt for the basics of faith, because they believed he would end abortion forever."

@RealDonaldTrump says the deaths of these American citizens - thousands of them - never occurred and is the result of a conspiracy to make him look bad. Here are their names and their stories: https://qz.com/1390559/how-many-people-died-in-hurricane-maria-an-investigation/ …

#MeToo. If all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote “Me too” as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.

As part of an effort to "streamline" the social studies curriculum in Texas, the State Board of Education voted to change what students in every grade are required to learn in the classroom. They voted to remove several historical figures, including Hillary Clinton and Helen Keller.

The board also voted to add back into the curriculum a reference to the "heroism" of the defenders of the Alamo, which had been recommended for elimination, as well as Moses' influence on the writing of the founding documents, multiple references to "Judeo-Christian" values and a requirement that students explain how the "Arab rejection of the State of Israel has led to ongoing conflict" in the Middle East.

"The safety concerns of those opposing the expansion of transgender bathroom access aren’t based in reality. With millions of Americans using public facilities daily, there is simply no reason to be concerned about sharing bathrooms with the country’s 1.4 million transgender citizens or worry about what might happen if they are legally permitted to use the bathroom of their choice."

#NeverForget After centuries of silent designs, a 'Tower of Voices'.

"The Statue of Liberty is conspicuously silent. The Vietnam War Memorial is cut from cold, quiet stone. And the Lincoln Memorial doesn’t tell lies—or anything else. But the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001 was an undeniably sonic experience and 'through sound and wind activation, it becomes a living memorial, in the sense that it is always changing.' And while other designs provide one shared experience, the tower will ensure that every visit is unique, even personalized. 'There’s an emotional aspect to memorialization where tapping into different sensory experiences can be very valuable...'It’s offering yet another type of commemoration.'"
