Toss-ups & calls still TBD for control of US Sen (& even the House?). But this is clear... Repubs & the people are misaligned on plenty... women's repro freedom is top of the list, & fear-mongering & denialism & disinformation are not imaginative policies or political strategies.

What happens in KS won't stay in KS, except the many people who need healthcare. The win was big and the implications significant. This was a welcome, needed win. https://t.co/VN6O3iHvyi

Finally - structural change on both sides of ledger. We can't solely rely on the Fed'l Reserve. Low-income folks hurt the most. Fires, floods, droughts, yea - climate change sucks. McConnell can't rule everything (even if he thinks Manchin is a Repub).

In one month, at least 43 abortion clinics across 11 states have stopped offering abortion care. My heart hurts. https://t.co/stwle4BGwH

@peggyflanagan - we are allowed to grieve in the aftermath of the dismantling of Roe. Our fierce outrage and fierce love will hold and carry us to where we must go. And abortion IS healthcare. Softening ourselves in this moment will and shall not serve us. @womenwinning

@SenTinaSmith : the Supreme Court has spoken but they will NOT have the last word. #SheRunsWeWin @womenwinning

We need to keep the MN House gavel in the hands of @melissahortman and take the MN Senate.

@amyklobuchar: “this is not a drill. Message is simple: we trust women to make the most intimate healthcare decisions…”

[TFisch7 @TFisch7]

Two more US Senators are all it will take to codify Roe. ##@amyklobuchar @womenwinning

Access to reproductive health services - abortion - remains in MN. We are a haven in the region. Election outcomes this November will inform lives and realities for years to come. #SheRunsWeWin

⁦@womenwinning⁩ procession of pro choice elected women. This is salve for the soul. Keep movin’.

I took this pic during my morning walk. It represents – for me - beauty, continuity, a fragile but standing symbol of democracy, and a reminder to pause and take the moment in. We need to breathe, to pause, to rest to do what we need to do in the days, weeks, months, years ahead.

Roe is dismantled. Guns with men are plentiful. My daughter has fewer rights now. I buried my mom. I marked my brother’s yahrzeit. But I inherited a fanny pack and I am taking it everywhere.

Lots packed into this piece on the roots of the racial with gap - from centuries of extraction to misguided notions of bootstraps & fin literacy as sole "solutions." Reparative approaches in tax policy, philanthropy, wealth bldg, ownership, & more needed. https://t.co/tOaqaOgmGB

@CherylStrayed Yes, sadly and absurdly. I am sure our paths crossed and we actually met! Fight on, indeed. Thanks for your great work and writing.

[TFisch7 @TFisch7]

@CherylStrayed @CherylStrayed - somebody took a snapshot of this and texted it to me. That's me in front of the door. Oh my. What a crazy time (then and now)...

[TFisch7 @TFisch7]

I know this is not illuminating, but the inverse dynamic w abortion bans in states that WAY underinvest in women & hlthcare & childcare & education & w regressive tax systems... umm, hello?

Yom Hashoah. Are we condemned to forgotten memories? We have evidence. Reports. Stories. Our backyards. Foreign lands. My yesterday/today reads include this from my friend @MG_GoldenMean https://t.co/Jrmia7rHUx & this scathing report from @mnhumanrights: https://t.co/CNMCEUtqR5

COVID magnifies all sorts of stuff, but let's not immediately claim trauma when we're stressed. That's my tweet for today.

@LtGovFlanagan reminds us that budgets are US, our values, & that this budget may be the most important in her lifetime. Children, families, deserve safety, support, stability. Now is the time.
