While Taylor Swift’s new man friend and Jwan Yosef‘s booty pics took over everyone’s social media feeds this week, the political power players were busy doing all sorts of things while you weren’t looking. Here’s just a few of the stories that you really need to know about it.

Amid an extremist Supreme Court majority, Congresswoman Crockett is determined to file and pass safeguards for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community. Crockett works to protect our nation’s most vulnerable individuals and is fighting to protect same sex marriage, LGBTQIA+ identifying children in schools and fighting against employment discrimination. In the ever-continued pursuit of justice, Crockett demands that discrimination and bigotry in any form are treated as crimes.
Jasmine Crockett, Matthew Frost, Summer Lee, Robert Garcia and some of the other younger legislators give me great hope for the future of progressives in the US. They’re smart, articulate and not afraid to put the right wingers in their place!

Well, I honestly don´t know why Rep. Crockett is not being proposed as the obvious candidate to take Senator Cruz´s Senate seat away from him.
She´d be perfect (set aside ageism, sexism, and racial prejudice) candidate, and just imagine how she could turn the image of Texas around.
