Wow. A teenager in Nebraska was just sentenced to 90 days in jail for using the abortion pill. This is the America Republicans want.

Republicans will not let women control their own bodies. According to them, teenagers are old enough to be mothers. It’s horrifying.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

Let these words sink in: the Texas abortion ban has led to an 11.5% increase in infant deaths over the previous year. Infant deaths had been declining since 2014 - now they are increasing.

Women are dying. Infants are dying. What about that is "pro-life"?

[Erin Zwiener @ErinForYall]

I want to draw attention to this. The Texas AG’s office is arguing that this woman, whose fertility is diminished because of the cruel abortion bans, doesn’t have standing to challenge the bans…because she’s less likely to get pregnant now.

[Larry Huynh @larryhuynh]

WTF: A woman in court testifying to overturn a Texas law that forced her to give birth to a fetus with no chance of living got so upset she just THREW UP.

THANK YOU Samantha Casiano, for sharing your pain, to help so many others.

But what the Texas AG said in court was insane:

First, they said you and the other 12 women sharing your dangerous experiences of Texas' anti-abortion law are only doing so because you are on an "ideological crusade".

Next, the Texas AG team ADMITTED you were harmed but said it's "in the past".

THEN, when one woman testified about being denied an abortion for her nonviable pregnancy, they had the balls to OBJECT and say her testimony was IRRELEVANT.

I'm so furious right now. My home state of Texas is f**king nightmare.

Join me in thanking these brave 13 women and Center for Reproductive Rights for forcing Greg Abbott's Texas to hear these stories in court.

Because we can't let Republican leaderships lead us back to the middle ages. 👇

There are no words to convey how barbaric and inhumane this all is.

[Mark Takano @MarkTakano]

It’s a Democratic majority OR a nationwide abortion ban.
It’s a Democratic majority OR Social Security cuts.
It’s a Democratic majority OR gutting voting rights.

That’s what is on the line in 2024. Vote blue.

Texas is a diverse, rapidly growing state full of generous folks that look out for one another.

Texans deserve a Senator who looks out for them – but Ted Cruz only looks out for himself.

It’s almost like you forgot that you’re the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and can pass the assault weapons ban literally right now if you voted on it. 417 mass shootings this year alone. Stop sending these meaningless fucking tweets and take action.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Hey, ABC: at the Moms for Liberty event, a speaker literally just said Hitler, Stalin, & Mao should be read MORE, saying "It is time for us to get back and start reading some of those quotes." Your Tweet calling Moms for Liberty "joyful warriors" is STILL up. Shameful.

[Imani Gandy is at BlueSky Now @AngryBlackLady]

Conservatives are legitimately nuts. They’re literally trying to make you think that it doesn’t matter that Lorie Smith submitted a declaration signed under the penalty of perjury that contained lies.

It’s amazing.

🧵

A broken system is when 4 Justices nominated by POTUSs who lost the popular vote, confirmed by a Senate who represent 40M fewer Americans, strip rights the vast majority of Americans support, while taking bribes from billionaires b/c they know they face 0 accountability.

[Chris Hollins @CGHollins]

Imagine a Senate without Ted Cruz. It’s easy if you try.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Please do not forget that President Biden promised he'd cancel student loans. And he delivered for all of us. But every Republican Justice Supreme Court struck down his program. So, please, don't go around blaming President Biden. Blame this Supreme Court.

your reminder that the email lady was right about everything

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

Hey @Marriott,

It’s disgusting that you’re going to allow a Moms For Liberty summit to be hosted this weekend at your venue space in Philadelphia knowing they’re an extremist hate group who quoted Hitler and will have an Oath Keepers terrorist as a guest speaker. Shame on you.

[Fawaz S. Anwar, MPA @FSAnwarTX]

Cool to see that #txlege cant afford A/Cs in prisons but we can lend a presidential candidate state resources for explicitly political purposes. Nice

Today, June 28, is the birthday of Dawn Alyson Hochsprung. She would be 58 but died at Sandy Hook in 2012. Dawn had 2 great passions– family & work. The mom of 5 girls in a blended family, g-ma, wife, & elementary principal died lunging at the shooter & attempting to stop him.
