1. @RonDeSantis just sent a letter to @KamalaHarris requesting a meeting to discuss Florida's new Black history curriculum

DeSantis said he would bring along William Allen, who helped write the curriculum

This comes at the same time that they’re holding a special election to try to raise the standards on ballot measures to require 60% of the vote instead of a simple majority.

They know voters want abortion to be legal and they DO NOT CARE

I haven’t been an actress for a long time but anyone baffled they bothered to send this has never received residuals. So much wasted paper and postage on mailed checks worth 10, 12, 14 or yes, 0 cents.

The actor who played Lizzie’s father in the popular Disney series ‘Lizzie McGuire’ just posted a photo of a residual check Disney sent him in 2019 worth $0.00, captioning the picture: “Why we’re striking”

As the Ohio GOP tries to increase the standards on ballot measures, Secretary of State Frank LaRose complained today that "the Left is dishonestly trying to paint the increased threshold amendment as only about abortion."

LaRose last month: "This is 100%" about abortion

Conservatives want doctors to be mandated abortion reporters:

If their patient is considering abortion, they'd be required to tell law enforcement in the same way a teacher has to report child abuse or a therapist reports a client who's a danger to someone else

It's starting: A Texas judge who's refusing to perform gay marriage ceremonies has filed a lawsuit against a judicial conduct commission, hoping the Supreme Court's 303 Creative v. Elenis ruling will allow her to deny basics rights to gay couples. https://t.co/hA372jahRq

If Biden had decent political instincts—or any willingness to affirmatively support abortion rights—the campaign would be aggressively messaging that Republicans are hurting military readiness because they hate women so much. https://t.co/gOfxn5WFMH

I’m reading Tress of the Emerald Sea and got the sudden urge to tell @vanessamzoltan that chapter 24 contains basically a whole ode to the rarity of the “pause” that I think she will deeply appreciate reading if she hasn’t already

remember last year at this exact time when Dobbs dropped and we were like “lgbtq+ rights will be next” and people said we were “being dramatic”

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Wait wait wait... the whole case was a hoax by far-right activists? Would this not suggest the litigant in question actually didn't have standing to bring the case in the first place? In what universe where rule of law exists is this case not now reviewed? https://t.co/QgFGayXPe6

I've been tracking anti-abortion strategy & language for the last year and this is what's coming next:

Anti-abortion groups and Republican lawmakers are going to pressure media outlets to stop using the word ‘ban’, claiming that it’s inaccurate and biased

it’s so cool how every doctors office is one doctor and 15 people whose job it is to deal with insurance. good system.

6. In many large cities, the decline in the murder rate is even more pronounced.

Year-to-date murders have declined 40% in Minneapolis, 28% in Atlanta, 26% in Los Angeles, and 18% in Baltimore.

But local coverage of these declines has been sparse or non-existent.
