Shared my abortion story in an interview that will air on KSHB 41 News tonight. I have PR training and this is hard to do y'all.

We have got to end the stigma around abortion. It is safe, it is common, it is healthcare.

[Mandy Stark Culbertson @Mandy_Stark]

@NV_CA_KS Oh wow, heard and deeply felt.

Jewish activist Katy Colley explains why she is marching for Palestine today and calls on our political leaders to demand a #CeasefireNOW 🇵🇸

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

Thousands are sitting in at Grand Central Station demanding a #CeasefireNOW.

In just two weeks, more than 7,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis were killed. Right now, Israeli warplanes are flattening entire neighborhoods in Gaza. This is what the US government is supporting.

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

We do not usually tweet on Shabbat but Gaza is in darkness and we have Internet access and the ability to post and appeal to the world.

This brutal siege must stop. Not in our name. #LetGazaLive

@queer_spice I've been waiting for your commentary on this ❤️

[Clay Wirestone @ClayWires]

No matter how the story shakes out — if officials return all the seized computers and cellphones this afternoon — a message has been sent. That message conflicts with the tenets of an open society. It shuts down the ability of democracy’s defenders to do their jobs. #ksleg

[Davis Hammet @Davis_Hammet]

This story is wild & highlights several dangers of unchecked police authority.
- Small town corruption
- A police raid to shutdown the local newspaper
- Police endangering senior citizens in their 80s & 90s by seizing their emergency contact devices in the raid

🚨BREAKING🚨 Unprecedented coalition of powerful labor & advocacy groups launch Care Cant Wait Action, 50m campaign to mobilize voters who need care 💥

Multipronged $50 million campaign backed by labor aims to prioritize child and senior care https://t.co/5M77f1b5O6 via @nbcnews

Imagine this happening to you.
A Judge makes a ruling that negatively impacts your daily life saying she can’t consider how it impacts your life because you’re not at the hearing, but you had asked to be at the hearing and the Judge herself is the reason you aren’t there.

Kris Kobach’s AG opinion is basically malpractice.
He’s advising state agencies to violate a federal consent decree without even telling them the decree exists.
Meanwhile, he’s in court trying to overturn the consent decree because he knows it’s the governing document.

It’s Juneteenth AND reparations.

It’s Juneteenth AND end police violence + the War on Drugs.

It’s Juneteenth AND end housing + education apartheid.

It’s Juneteenth AND teach the truth about white supremacy in our country.

Black liberation must be prioritized.

Nice try, boat

[Mandy Stark Culbertson @Mandy_Stark]

Experienced something very similar myself just yesterday.

[Laura Miers @LauraMiers]

We have finally been priced out of food delivery. Since 2020, we’ve ordered once a week—the same order, from the same 2 restaurants. At the beginning of 2020, our order was $56. In 2021-2022, it creeped up to $75-$85.

Today, the same order is $110, and we can’t do it at all.

As an Indigenous woman and an attorney, I am used to heartbreak. We wake up to fight in the “iron-cold” of the law every day, knowing the scales rarely tip in our favor. But today, in this moment, we celebrate the #SCOTUS decision in Brackeen v. Haaland that upholds #ICWA. 🧵

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

For the past decade, special interest groups have used the Indian Child Welfare Act–created to prevent family separation in Native communities–as a vehicle for a broader attack on Indigenous nations. That effort made it all the way to the Supreme Court in #Brackeen

#ICWA

[Ai-jen Poo @aijenpoo]

So excited & proud of @CareInActionUS - putting power behind our care agenda! Check out this new video.

Let’s go! #CareWins

"Penn is either disingenuous or uninformed about how race realigned American party politics in the 1960s."

From my experience, he leans into misinformation to serve his own purposes.

I have yet to see another person masked in Kansas City's airport this morning.

And several people near me are coughing, frequently and ...wetly.

But cool yeah so glad the pandemic's over.
