There is NO justice for All. Never was. Never will be. It Takes A Village To Rape A Child. Where do you stand?
We Send Folk 2 War, They Should Be 1st Priority
Ectopic pregnancies can literally kill the women who experience them, and often the only treatment is abortion.
Abortion opponents are now calling for "watchful waiting," instead of treatment, which doctors are calling "malpractice." https://t.co/Z10rvQk2i3
We need more work like this. @martenzie gathers actual facts about the controversial organization funded by the NFL/Roc Nation partnership, including interviews with the kid who got his dreads cut. Not a simple story. Martenzie handles it with precision.

Someone interviewed me over the past few days about my #research into female veteran homelessness & it gave me a reason to dig back into the responses I have collected from 3K+ women vets, which I always wish I had more time to delve into. And wow there was just so much. #Thread.
@GardenNan @arlenparsa Ahhh, denial is NOT a river in Egypt. Presuming a slave could give consent is like saying an incarcerated female prisoner can. They can't. It's an imbalance of power. Let's call it Rape, shall we
Big thanks to @KertscherNews of @PolitiFact who poured over countless documents, books, & records to figure out if my claim about founding father slaveholders was true or false.
Here’s their ruling, along with a great article that adds new context:

When people say "But everybody held slaves back then!" remind them of John Adams.
Before he became our second president, he was an abolitonist lawyer who represented escaped slaves in court and tried to free them.
Here is what he said about slavery:
Kind of weird that in the year of our lord 2019 we're still walking around with pictures of old slaveholders in our pockets.
At least Ulysses S. Grant on the $50 and Benjamin Franklin on the $100 did eventually free the people they held and spoke out against the practice.
If we haven't crossed paths on Twitter before, my name is Arlen and I cannot stand when people act like the founding fathers were, like, unquestionable gods. They were people!
Read a couple more of my tweets on this subject here:

Here's the founders in this painting who weren't slaveholders.
List is short enough to fit in a tweet:
Sam Adams
Robert Paine
Elbridge Gerry
George Clymer
James Wilson
Thomas McKean
Roger Sherman
Charles Thomson
Will Williams
Sam Huntington
John Adams
Will Ellery
George Walton
This is James Wilson, a great Scottish-born Pennsylvanian abolitionist who wrote, “Slavery, or an absolute and unlimited power in the master over the life and fortune of the slave, is unauthorized by the common law"

The founders with red dots are the slaveholders. The founders in yellow are the only ones who freed all the people they held.
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, raped one of the women he enslaved.
He freed his illegitimate children. But not their mom.
@Coleman2099 @EspressoMike0 @FrankLuntz Ques: but did they win? In spite of hoping they would not, did they win by hook or crook. No embarrassment just FACT.
