@chapelhillgov suggestion to update the light timing cycle for the MLK/Estes intersection… Traffic backs up to the school during rush hour trying to go straight through the intersection. It often takes 3-4 cycles to get through 🫠

@UNC_and_CFB I think it was at Estes Part Apartments; saw emergency response turning in there

[Claudia Plazas @caprjournalism]

I still remember when @UNC would let supremacist groups protest on campus near Silent Sam, even when they chanted and threaten students of color. The University never responded like it did today.

This is what happens when we allow policies to be determined by ignorant people and not science. Foolish and shameful

NC State senate Republicans passed what they insist is not an abortion ban. It’s definitely a ban. SHAME on those who voted yes! Local elections matter; let’s get the people with green dots by their name OUT OF OFFICE. People will die bc of this.

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

@SenatorSawyer NOT common sense. You’re stripping people of their right to bodily autonomy. You hate women. People in NC will die. SHAME ON YOU!!!

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

@amyscottgaley Most of these touted “benefits” help state employees and not the majority of people this bill will impact.

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

@amyscottgaley It DOES NOT MATTER if a fetus is a life, this is about bodily autonomy. No where else can you legally compel someone to donate their body to sustain the life of another person. YOU HATE WOMEN. #BansOffOurBodies

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

@joycekrawiec doesn’t know what’s in the abortion bill she’s sponsoring

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

@joycekrawiec to be clear, it doesn’t matter if a fetus is a life. No where else can you legally compel someone to donate their body to sustain the life of another. This is about body autonomy. You hate women. #BansOffOurBodies

today I learned I've been mispronouncing "spurious" since forever 😭

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has ties to insurrectionists via his wife Ginni Thomas and voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Thomas says LGBTQ+ rights & contraception should be next.

SIGN THE PETITION: Justice Thomas must resign or be impeached! https://t.co/qctKllbFV0

Dissenting were Justices Stephen Breyer, appointed by President Clinton, and Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, appointed by President Obama.

Here's what they wrote.

Today's decision means that maternal mortality rates in this country will go up.

Don't ever talk to me about "pro-life".

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

So Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh LIED UNDER OATH re: upholding precedent. The Supreme Court is illegitimate...stripping half the country of their rights to their own body is NOT how you foster trust in the system. #roeoverturned

[Sam Eiffert @EiffertSam]

This country is becoming intolerable #ProtectRoe

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

One day after 8 people were killed due to hatred of Asian women, how dare 172 Republicans vote against the Violence Against Women Act?

The most contentious part of the act? Preventing people convicted of domestic abuse or stalking from purchasing a firearm.
