Whew I’ve missed a lot. Ok repro folks:
1. I better not see anybody refer to creating mutual aid as “underground railroads” 😒 it’s anti Black and erases the funds that have always existed
2. Donate to, follow and center Texans
3. Decenter whiteness & cis folks
Dassit

I appreciate people saying that I'm a man who gets it, I really, sincerely do. But I "get it" because I listen to the women who try to educate people every single day. @AngryBlackLady@ilyseh@ProfMMurray@Hegemommy @ZerlinaMaxwell @Sifill_LDF sooo many many others.
“We hear every single day about the impact of state bans. Texas’s is by far the most alarming—Abortion care can’t wait.” - Sylvia Ghazarian, executive director of @WRRAP, the largest independent national abortion fund.

to be fair, the "alarmists" were repro experts on health care, law, policy, communications, and organizing so it would have made a lot of sense for your news organizations to listen!
I’m angry that people on the ground in Texas have been sounding the alarms not only for the past 8 months regarding #SB8, but for years about how these bills in red states have been chipping away our right to abortion care, but nobody listened.
Fun fact: trimesters is a bullshit concept made up by the Court.
All the shit the US believes about criminalizing abortion is made up and only existed post-Civil War to get rid of Black and Brown midwives so white gynecologists could profit. It’s all a racist capitalist lie.
people out here blaming a dead woman for not retiring when a bunch of men asked her to so they could replace her with a centrist.
i'm sorry you fucked up in 2016 by acting the fool, but don't blame the dead lady because you downplayed the importance of the Supreme Court.
Lots of tweets about policy and process around choice, and it’s all very important, but I hope everyone making points online are also making donations to help Texas abortion funds for the people now suffering from this ban. This is not just a Twitter debate for too many people.
@kateldwyer On my bar exam I wrote a bit at the end of the con law essay to the effect of “but really none of this matters because precedent is dead and SCOTUS can just do whatever it wants now.”
I obviously deleted it before submitting to pass, but it felt good to at least get it out.
