This battle over Abrego Garcia is simple. It doesn't matter that he was here illegally. It doesn't matter if he's a gang member or if he's a wife beater (both of which are disputed). It doesn't matter if you think he deserves to be deported or to be in prison. / thread
Texas SB8:
•Doctor performs abortion: $100K fine, lose license, life in prison
•Woman gets abortion: $10K fine, life in prison
•Man forces wife to take abortion pills: $0 fine, 180 days jail
It was never about life. It was always about control of women

I will borrow this music & give it to you
People say the world has changed
Fortunately, our relationship hasn't changed yet
The place where I passed for 10 years
With countless wounds & glory
But don't forget to find me
Life Goes On

Today after Mitch McConnell had what seemed like some sort of medical incident, President Biden called him to make sure he was doing well.
Biden and McConnell are from opposite ends of the political spectrum. They have been going at each other politically for decades.
But today it was one human being caring about the well being of another human being.
It’s the way we should all act toward one another.
We live in a country where you can’t ring the wrong doorbell without fear of getting shot. Can’t go to the movies, to school, to the grocery store, a parade, a concert, a club, to church or to work.
You can’t pull down the wrong driveway, hop into the wrong car, can’t let a ball roll onto the wrong lawn, or use a leaf blower at the wrong time, you can’t ask your neighbor to keep it down so your baby can sleep without fear of getting shot.
Shot and killed.
In a nation with more guns than people, this has become our reality.
But does ANYONE actually want to live this way?
Because we don’t have to.
Republicans are so flabbergasted over their inability to connect with young voters it’s almost comical. You wanna know why they hate you and upwards of 90% of them will never vote for you @GOP? I’ll break it down for you (Thread)
BREAKING: President Biden hits the American people with some brutal honesty and admits that he "can't do anything" about gun violence "except plead with Congress to act reasonably" and says that despite Republicans opposing all sensible gun laws, the majority of the American people think having assault weapons is bizarre" and "a crazy idea." RT TO DEMAND THAT CONGRESS SEND A BILL TO BIDEN'S DESK TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS!
I have posted this before but ..
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.
Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.
On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.
By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)
The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.
The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.
These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.
It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.
The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.
It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.
The woman arrested self-administered abortion pills in October of 2021, before the overturn of Roe Vs. Wade.
And the bill is vague enough that miscarriages may be included.
I knew this was the trajectory we were heading in the minute Roe Vs. Wade was overturned.
