On the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that without federal protections, access to reproductive care depends on our states.
California has taken action:
- Signed shield laws to safeguard access to care
- Issued an Executive Order protecting health care providers
- Launched the Reproductive Freedom Alliance to advance reproductive freedom
- Launched https://t.co/4jd5KnV96s to ensure Californians can access essential information and resources
I will always work to protect and expand reproductive rights for all Californians.
Trump is about to steal nearly 20 more seats in Congress.
The Supreme Court is poised to wipe away the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and eliminate representation for black and brown communities across our country.
The GOP knows they cannot win. They are threatening Governors. Rigging maps across the country. And have now recruited SCOTUS to do their dirty work, too.
CNN, Fox News, NBC, ABC and CBS just issued a joint statement: "We join virtually every other news organization in declining to agree to the Pentagon’s new requirements, which would restrict journalists’ ability to keep the nation and the world informed of important national security issues. The policy is without precedent and threatens core journalistic protections. We will continue to cover the U.S. military as each of our organizations has done for many decades, upholding the principles of a free and independent press."
Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Pete Hegseth announces that Qatar, an Authoritarian regime, will be authorized to build an Air Force training base on U.S soil in Idaho.
A foreign regime, not a NATO ally, with military inside America…What the actual fuck?

Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
It’s the guns. Not the doors. Not video games. Not Godlessness. It is the guns. It’s the fucking guns. It’s the guns. The guns. The guns. For fuck’s sake, what are we doing?
There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
Supporting local abortion funds that help arrange and pay for abortion care for patients who need it is one of the most impactful actions you can take for reproductive justice today.
Team @AOC is splitting donations between 5 groups doing this work:

People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate.
It’s high time we do it.
Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.
