@YETICoolers Time to publicly oppose the border wall in the Big Bend region. Otherwise your environmental messages simply appear greenwashing - and I am done with Yeti coolers.

NATO IS NEVER THERE WHEN WE NEED THEM. TRUMP WANTED TO STEAL GREENLAND, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP WANTED TO WIPE OUT AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATION, DID NATO HELP? NO! TRUMP DECLARED WAR ON BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, DID NATO HELP? NO!

IF NATO DOESN'T PAY ITS SHARE FOR THE BALLROOM, IT'S OVER.

To all of the MAGA Republicans and ICE defenders who are claiming that this woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tried to run ICE officers over with her car before they shot and killed her, here is the actual video.

As you can clearly see, there are three ICE officers to the side of her car, and she slowly pulls away as they shoot her in the face. This is Trump‘s America.

Here's the video you dumb MAGA ghouls. The woman was attempting to flee, she wasn't trying to run over an ICE agent https://t.co/jrKAMSav1z

Ladies and Gentlemen it's @BrendanCarrFCC doing EXACTLY what Goebbels did in Germany in the first year of Hitler's dictatorship. There is no hyperbole required.

⁦@MikieSherrill⁩ @CoryBooker⁩ ⁦@SenatorMenendez⁩ Please tell CDC to rethink this crazy rule, which takes effect on August 1. I just spent $400 for paperwork for my dog to travel to Canada. 🤬 The vet needed an hour to complete forms! #CDC https://t.co/qiKQJCJvuW

@TractorSupply Your withdrawal from carbon emission goals is shameful. Climate change is the biggest environmental threat to the planet.

Imagine you go to the Dr. for a routine check up. A week later, you get a phone call from the doctors office. “Dr. Smith said he’d like to see you in the next day or two to discuss your physical exam.”

That “punched in the gut” feeling is immediate, and your thoughts are bouncing back & forth like a high speed tennis match.

The next day, you’re waiting on the doctor in his office. He comes in behind you, closes the door…and walks around behind his desk, pulling out his creaky chair. He gets right to the point. “You have a tumor. It’s cancerous.”

You feared hearing those words, but, didn’t really think you would. “I mean, this can’t be happening to me, right?!” you say to yourself.

As you sit there, in silence, with your hands starting to tremble and your lower eyelids beginning to reach their threshold on how many tears they can hold back before the dam breaks, your doctor pierces the quiet. “It is operable. If we could get it out, now, you might be fine. No guarantee…but…maybe.”

The tears come pouring, and you begin to sob. These are happy tears….tears of relief. For a moment you thought you were looking at a death sentence.

The doctor speaks again “But, I am so sorry to tell you…we won’t be able to operate. The tumor will have to stay”

“What?!” you say with the sharp punch of a Marine Corp drill instructor. “What the hell do you mean ‘it will have to stay?’”

“It’s against the law. If I did this operation, I’d likely go to prison. Even if it was successful, and we saved you from metastasis, you’d likely go to prison as well. I can’t do it. No other doctor will do it. I’m sorry.”

You collapse to the floor. Angry. Horrified. Confused. Stunned…….hopeless.

This unthinkable scenario is one that is now happening every day…somewhere.

This is what women across the country are now facing when it comes to having an abortion that would save their life. Situations like this are not rare. They are not.

What women are confronted with, now…is barbaric. This is supposed to be 2023. Why aren’t we acting like it’s 2023 in this critical area of need for women from coast to coast? Why? We know why. The answer is fucking unacceptable.
