I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

"I think it’s important for us to also tackle this myth that this is...about babies or children or life. Because the same individuals who claim to be protecting life fight against universal healthcare. Do they believe in universal childcare? Do they believe in life after birth?"
The final paragraph of the three liberals' Dobbs dissent:
"With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent. "
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.
It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.
super cool that the Ontario government saw that Covid disproportionately affects low-income, racialized people and decided the solution was to criminalize them for it
Such a simple and wonderful initiative by different children's hospitals across Canada and the US, to spread positive vibes and the spirit of Valentine's Day!

Jacob Blake Sr.: ’They shot my son seven times. Seven times. Like he didn’t matter. But my son matters. He’s a human being and he matters.’ (Warning: distressing)
“We came out here in t-shirts, they started gassing us. We came back with respirators, they started shooting us. We came back with vests, they started aiming for the head... And now they call us terrorists. Who’s escalating this? It’s not us.” @MacSmiff https://t.co/quc0qwfncg
Wall Street CEOs, from Goldman Sachs to Blackstone, poured in millions to defeat our grassroots campaign tonight.
But their money couldn’t buy a movement.
Thank you #NY14, and every person who pitched in for tonight’s victory.
Here’s to speaking truth to power.
