Jesus this story is CHILLING. Men are going town to town in Texas to criminalize women driving on the ROAD, if she is going to get an abortion. Literally trying to TRAP women legally and ensnare anyone who might give them so much as a ride. https://t.co/cM1V9ljjaW

Remember: One of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are GOP tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.
Thinking a lot lately about philosopher @kate_manne’s idea of misogyny as a belief that women owe moral goods rot men—sex, care, attention, empathy, pleasure—and that failures to honor this moral debt can be enforced, among other things, with violence and the law.
In post-Dobbs America, some girls can travel hours to get an abortion; some can't. This is the story of one of them.
She was raped. The nearest abortion was nine hours away. Now, she's a mom. Soon, she'll start seventh grade.

Dr. Jake Kleinmahon is one of the only pediatric heart transplant doctors in the state of Louisiana.
And now, he’s leaving because of the state’s anti-LGBTQ laws. https://t.co/KDycaqhiZS
I’m begging people to understand and learn what a “boundary” is. Telling your gf who they can hang out with, what they can do for a job, what they can wear, is not a boundary - it’s control.
Still can't believe 303 Creative actually made it to SCOTUS.
Courts on fiscal issues: "neener neener, nobody has standing about anything, even if it's billions of dollars"
Courts on social issues: "why yes I will take this case about the hypothetical thing that makes you mad"
I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
A thread on how terrifying it is to be a woman in America.
1. It's legal in Mississippi to drug and rape your wife: a person can be convicted of sexual battery of a spouse when they are living together & **only if** he engages in "forcible penetration against the victim's will".
Interesting @brianbeutler piece linking Titan implosion to the broader elite mindset that turns its back on the public good until elites need government to clean up their messes, and to the need for a robust liberal indictment of this antisocial bad acting

This is one of the most offensive nonsensical hateful things I’ve ever read.
If being a teenage girl can terrible and toxic, it’s because of our overwhelming culture of hating women, not because we recognize the gender identity of other kids.
