We got some transphobes BIG mad the other day so let us spell it out for you:
“Women” is a term that encompasses cis & trans women.
When we talk about “people who can give birth,” it's because those people aren't all women! They're girls, trans men, & non-binary ppl.
On the eve of the one-year anniversary of

's inauguration, the U.S. government will be shut down. Make no mistake: this shutdown is a

We were planning to shut down the Capitol Building but the authorities were so scared of this

that they shut it down for us.
1000+ women, survivors, and allies have gathered in the Hart Senate Building.
Every hallway. Every floor.

• There are too many of these stories.
• Too many of us have these stories.
• Too many of us have never felt safe to share them.
And men like
@realDonaldTrump
are why.
Women are not dogs. We are not bitches. We are people.
@realDonaldTrump
’s obsessive racist and sexist targeting of Black women continues. It’s not okay.
When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!
Elizabeth Guzman and Hala Ayala both defeated Republican incumbents tonight to become the first-ever Latinas elected to the Virginia House of Delegates!

US Border Patrol is reportedly unleashing tear gas on the caravan of refugees, which includes parents & small children.
This is inhumane. The administration can’t even pretend this is to protect borders or enforce the law. These are asylum seekers. Seeking asylum is not illegal.
Not everyone is in a place where they can or want to share their

story.
That’s okay.
❤️Your story still matters ❤️
❤️ We still believe you ❤️
You don’t owe anyone a description of your trauma.
From fundraising emails labeling

’s loyalty to and love of country, the right-wing is actively inciting violence against young progressive women of color in Congress.
Please retweet.

Women, this is our time, and we say: no more sexual predators in the White House, in our government, in Hollywood, anywhere.
Let’s be clear about what this Executive Order does: Instead of imprisoning children in separate internment camps away from their parents, this administration will now imprison children in the same internment camps as their parents.
We believe Angelina Jolie, Amber Heard, FKA Twigs, Tyler Perry, Halle Berry, Evan Rachel Wood, and Rihanna. So often,

and overrule their vote using the Congressional Review Act. We need each and every one of us to keep the pressure on Congress. Here's how:
Dear Democrats: You told us to vote. We gave you the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
When we vote again in November, you better have a damn good plan to restore our fundamental human rights.
630 women in foil blankets are being arrested in Hart Office building now as they chant “Abolish ICE” and demand an end to family detention.

We’re sending love to every survivor tonight.
Watching a sexual predator mock a survivor — and watching a crowd of people laugh with him — is too much for anyone with a conscience to ignore.
Get mad. Get to DC. And get these men out of power for good.
Andrea Jenkins is now the first openly trans woman of color elected to the city council of a major U.S. city. Congratulations

Terrifying and absolutely devastating 💔
To our Muslim community: we see you, we are with you, and we will not rest until you no longer have to live in fear.
Non-Muslims: check in on your Muslim friends and family. We must love and protect each other.
