Good thread

Clarence Thomas just used Margaret Sanger's support of eugenics to argue (unsuccessfully) that abortion is eugenic. We need to know and interrogate the history of white feminism so conservatives can no longer weaponize birth control's history against us. THREAD 1/8

Things Republicans could do instead of send sad tweets
1. Pass legislation to protect the Mueller investigation
2. Subpoena Trump's tax and business records to see what leverage Russia may have on him
3. Pass a tougher sanctions law that doesn't let Trump wriggle out of them

With Justice Kennedy’s retirement, @chuckschumer and other Democrats will have to demonstrate a different level of political courage. They must remember what @SenMajLdr did with Gorsuch. It is not a time to play nice.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

“I can’t name a single issue with roots in race that doesn’t have economic implications and I cannot think of a single economic issue that doesn’t have racial implications. The idea that we have to separate them out and choose one is a con.” — Alexandria Ocasio Cortez

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

I was beaten, left bloody & unconscious while friends of mine gave their lives to ensure that every person has the right to register & vote. But five years ago the SCOTUS Shelby County v Holder decision stuck a dagger in the heart of the Voting Rights Act. We must #RestoreTheVRA

In dissent Justice Sotomayor writes: "The Court today goes out of its way to permit the State of TX to use maps that the 3-judge District Court unanimously found were adopted for the purpose of preserving the racial discrimination that tainted its previous maps." #Gerrymandering https://t.co/6imPtrkDYr
