Progressive @ sarcastic. Feminism is not a dirty word. Neither is abortion. Racism is real. All opinions are only my own. Retweet =/= agreement. she/her/hers

What she said! ⬇️ “And do you know why women choose not to report abuse, it’s because the world is controlled by #abusers…”

It’s why they don’t bring money-crushing lawsuits, mortgaging our homes if we’re lucky enough to own one, to fight back…pay inequity being what it is also doesn’t help empower us on this front. Threat of or actual loss of livelihood and/or shelter…who wants this?!

And because we have weak laws and major gaps in laws that need overhauling amendments…[I will continue to work on these for not a penny.]

I don’t care what your political
persuasion is or how monied and famous you are or wanna be…stop hiding behind all of this and your B.S. #defamation threats, NDAs, and lawsuits.

One day…we will have our own tools to defeat you misogynistic boys and the men AND women in and out of power who enable you for their own expediency. One day, right and wrong, ethics, and morality will win the day.

To the #women/#survivors out there…fight even if you’re going to lose…leave that paper trail for future victims and for when it all comes to a head. There’s always a pattern.

@Ryan_In_Mi @SenatorSlotkin Please prove it because there have been so many false statements from this team - including lying about how much money they are saving lying about what they're going after Republicans in Congress lying about cutting Medicaid and cutting SNAP benefits... Prove it with actual data

When the only friends you have left are dictators murderers autocrats - what does that make you??

[galina.varchena @gvarchen]

Dear Democratic party, you know what is not effective? 10 emails and five text messages per day asking me for money... Seriously... And I keep un subscribing and they keep coming from different email addresses so I can't get rid of you. Good grief.

[galina.varchena @gvarchen]

They care about who now?? Ah yes.... that's right - not women, not pregnant people. https://t.co/H7MEa6xv0G

Moyle v US is a case that will impact federal protections for pregnant people and for providers; learn more: #moylevus #emtala

A very tepid take - Dune 2 is just alright actually.

🚨Please mark your calendars and Save the Date to join us as we lift up the voices of #survivors and call out the need to strengthen laws and protections for them, while increasing funding to support #victims this #SexualAssaultAwarenessMonth

➡️ Speakers will be announced and topics include:

⚫️ Sexual Assault
⚫️ Sexual Harassment
⚫️ Defamation
⚫️ Title VII
A federal civil rights law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
⚫️ Title IX
A federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities.

We’ll address the challenges victims face as a result of weak laws, lack of enforcement, high legal costs, and other barriers to bringing cases.

It is unfortunate that perpetrators and institutions that enable them are often not held accountable and this behavior and rape culture is allowed to fester.

We know there are not enough protections in place to make things easier for victims who ultimately suffer lifelong consequences.

We hope you can make it to #liftourvoices

🚨Anti-#abortion centers raked in $1.4bn in year #Roe fell, including *federal* money. It’s just a money game — It’s not about the lives of women and children.

So, let me get this straight FEDERAL money to the tune of $344M is being paid to anti-abortion pregnancy centers called by the misnomer “crisis pregnancy centers” which convince people to keep their pregnancies. This is another reason we need to #EndCitizensUnited & #EndForcedPregnancy ! I know @MoneyOutVA agrees! Dark money is fueling a fight against women and our ability to get ahead in life and in love, dare we LIVE‼️

Under @SpeakerJohnson’s leadership, the House passed a bill to block @HHSGov from restricting funding for anti-abortion centers. State gov’ts are also sending vast sums of #taxpayer dollars to programs supporting same. Since the #Dobbs Decision, 16 states have agreed to send more than $250m to these programs. 🤮🤑🤢

Here's some more info about these misleading institutions - https://t.co/QCpKpf3r5W

[galina.varchena @gvarchen]

VA GOP would have spent tax money to promote crisis pregnancy centers on a government website - harming already vulnerable pregnant people looking for unbiased information - https://t.co/W4Aqs7tToZ.

Jennifer McClellan has dedicated her life to serving the people of Virginia and ensuring that all Virginians have the abortion access they need.

Congratulations, @JennMcClellanVA!

[ACLU of Virginia @ACLUVA]

🎉IT'S OFFICIAL: All anti-abortion bills this #VALeg were DEFEATED. HB2476, the last anti-abortion bill, was killed this morning.

Let's be clear: These bills are nothing but political intrusion into our reproductive healthcare decisions. They don't belong in VA or anywhere.

[Jennifer McClellan @JennMcClellanVA]

The vast majority of Virginians, 77%, believe that politicians should not interfere with personal health care decisions. Playing politics with abortion rights and access puts people’s lives and health at risk.

Subcommittee on Health Professions recommends full Ed & Health committee PBI (defeat) Del Freitas' so-called "born alive" bill and Delegate Greenhalgh's biased counseling bill. Both are all about stigmatizing abortion & unnecessary. #valeg @PPAVirginia
