[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

The horrors Russia inflicted on Bucha and continues to inflict on other Ukrainian cities is unacceptable. We will not forget Ukrainians who have suffered and were murdered. We join countries and organizations worldwide to push for accountability and demand justice for Ukrainians.

When it comes to tribal sovereignty the Supreme Court is repeatedly more wedded to the expectations of white Americans than our constitution, federal law, or even the truth.

[Maggie Blackhawk @MaggieBlackhawk]

Hello again, friends, rather than arguing over what to call us, could you please just call your member of Congress? Ask for a “Castro-Huerta fix” to check the power of this runaway Supreme Court. (We can clarify other language later.)

[Maggie Blackhawk @MaggieBlackhawk]

Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.

Yes delete your period app. But also don’t arrange rides for people to get abortions on Facebook. Don’t google “where to get an abortion” if you live in Texas. Don’t go to a protest unmasked. The privacy violations that are coming go so much deeper than period apps.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

The thing about originalism is that it wasn’t a thing for like 200 years. It was popularized in the 70s and 80s to criminalize abortion, let people have guns, and generally push right wing politics. Which kind of shows how full of shit it is.

[Leah Willingham @LeahMWillingham]

The clinic staff spent Friday canceling the appointments of 60-70 patients scheduled for abortions in the coming weeks.

“Some patients broke down and could not speak through their sobbing. Some patients were stunned and didn't know what to say. Some patients did not understand.”

[Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵) @ProfMMurray]

Texas coming in strong.

[Prof Gina Neff @ginasue]

Right now, and I mean this instant, delete every digital trace of any menstrual tracking. Please.

[Dr. Dr. Desi (she/her) @native4data]

Nothing is as fundamental as sovereignty over our bodies. Fuck!

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

As we fight to make abortion legal at the federal level, I continue to reject the legitimacy of such an undemocratic institution.

Expand the court.

A German court is set to render its first verdict in a historic trial of two former Syrian intelligence officials for atrocities during Syria’s decade-long brutal armed conflict.

An @HRW team will be in court to share highlights from the hearing: https://t.co/jooKSVEAmd
