[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

Young people under 16 years old are 4x more likely to die during childbirth than people aged 20-24. Denying young people access to abortion isn’t just a human rights violation, it’s a matter of life and death.

This was the case for our clients, Lucía, Fatima, Norma, and Susana.

Also I think he wants a dynasty and is convinced one of his spawn can be president after him. Far less likely to happen if he's dragged kicking and screaming from the WH after his one term (or, gods forbid two) is up.

[Nanette Kelley @NanetteHB]

Actually of all his tics I think this is one of the dumbest. No Republican in their right mind would make more than two terms legal as long as President Obama is around.

If he means just not leaving after someone else is elected and sworn in, that's not how things work.

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

Trump tells the workers, in this official speech allegedly about energy, that they can drive the media "totally crazy" if they "go to hashtag third term, hashtag fourth term," suggesting he'll stay in office longer than two terms.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Many people still don’t understand how going to jail, even for a few days, can throw someone’s life into chaos. But imagine being released without your phone, cash or ID. Imagine, furthermore, that you’re poor and/or homeless.

Our policies are leaving people completely stranded.

[Amitav Ghosh @GhoshAmitav]

In an interview with a Vancouver paper Allen Ginsberg notes: 'year 2000 prophesized by science advisory committee as the date of an irreversible greenhouse effect.'

This was in July 1968! It wasn't just scientists; everybody who was paying attention knew, or should have known.

This thread, about how easily young boys can radicalized via gaming networks is a must-read. If you have sons and think gaming is a digital corollary to fun and innocent toys and games (which I've heard from parents) please read, share, and talk to your kids. TY @Ipropos

At @Essence, I wrote about @Basseyworld's stunning debut 'I'm Telling The Truth, but I'm Lying," which is out next week but you should pre-order now: https://t.co/TutcYwyW6W

This tribute by @BrentNYT reminds me how important Ebony was to my childhood in the 1960s. Not only did it have a prominent presence in our home, but also I got to interview John H. Johnson in 1968, when I was 12 & co-editor of the Shoesmith student paper. https://t.co/svIJM98jKs

This is the authoritarianism at the heart of US policing.

I did not know this directory existed! Giving a signal boost to anyone who needs it! Thanks, Candance 💛.

[Candace 🙅🏽‍♀️ (she/her) @aceisjoy]

@TianaClarkPoet @PsychToday So important. When I started looking for one this year it was very important to me that I find a WOC and Google was not helping me. s/o to the Therapy for Black Girls directory for making the search so much easier.

It's really hard when you live in a rural area. I recommend

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

Over the span of just 14 years, between 1950 to 1964, black farmers in Mississippi lost almost 800,000 acres of land. When translated into today's economic value, this is a loss of between $3.7 billion to $6.6 billion. Read this story by @fivefifths.

#Medusa’s lake? Animals that fall into Lake Natron, Tanzania turn to stone due to its alkaline waters & natrocarbonatites deposited from a nearby volcano. Flamingo, dove, eagle, bat found, posed & photographed by Nick Brandt (Lake Natron is also a breeding ground for flamingos.)

This blew my mind: YouTube (and Google) divert users who search basic health terms to conspiracy videos that told them to fear vaccines & their doctors

Experts and fomer govt officials told us that "Dr. YouTube" is driving MULTIPLE public health crises, including Zika resurgence
