Republicans say they are being “compassionate” by providing $$ for child care, parental leave, etc. as part of their abortion ban.
But that is not a substitute for abortion, and NC deserves those things IN ADDITION TO the right to choose. https://t.co/QeMUoEf23S
Then vs. now
Reps. Bradford and Cotham made a promise to their constituents that they wouldn’t go to Raleigh and further restrict reproductive rights and freedoms, then turned around and did it anyway. #ncpol#ncga
The 19-year-olds who attend my favorite university didn’t score enough touchdowns today so I’m in the basement, drinking until I fall asleep. My wife is crying, begging me to come upstairs & watch a Muppet Christmas Carol with my family. “I don’t care if I die tonight” I whisper.
comfort to every human being who feels afraid right now. i feel afraid too. it is okay to feel afraid and tender now. soon, the anger returns and we fight like bloody hell. first the pain, then the mother fucking rising.
I know “we won’t go back” is the popular rallying cry but people need to get it through their heads that we are going back. And that we need to get through it and build something better.
I understand the point of rhetorical flourishes. I just hope people understand reality.
pro tip: if you're using the ravings of a lunatic who burned women at the stake 400 years ago to justify taking away the right to an abortion, you're fucking doing it wrong. resign and slither the fuck back under your flat rock. it's 2022, for fuck's sake
I can’t stop laughing at Republican dudes calling women who are rallying for abortion rights “cat ladies” who can’t get a date. What do they think causes the need for an abortion
@AngryBlackLady Lawdddd I needed this reminder of how much music helps! Joined you in listening to Bob Marley and I think my blood pressure dropped back to an acceptable level.
Let this be remembered as the night the Met Gala saluted the Gilded Age, a time of outrageous wealth disparity coated in the patina of luxury, while the Supreme Court sentenced poor women seeking reproductive freedom to death.
Is anyone else experiencing a real mindfuck while scrolling through photos of Met gala fashion interspersed with tweets about the impending loss of US women’s rights? Feels very dystopian to me. #RoeVWade#MetGala2022
Hard to call President who defends transgender youth a cultural elitist after he has called for "Buy American," promoting manufacturing jobs in Ohio, praised police & supported unions & living wage. #SOTU
