To those whose lives won’t be impacted if SCOTUS overturns Roe and Casey, may you never know the indescribable pain and resentment that results when others callously strip away your right to bodily autonomy.

[POLITICO @politico]

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. https://t.co/nl3JFLx9xg

Can we get some gun reform now?

BREAKING: Today, a fed appeals court threw out FL’s #HB7, the Stop WOKE Act, for unconstitutionally infringing on the free speech of biz owners, delivering a victory to our FL clients who run growing businesses in the state. 🧵⬇️

@FAFSA @MOHELA Mohela grossly miscalculated my PSLF payment count and I cannot get a representative who knows how to fix it. Who can I contact?

“Workers are unionizing because of past organizational shortfalls and to create a just and equitable workplace for all employees.”

We work for the ACLU of Florida because we believe that our democracy is worth fighting for. We want to bring democracy into our workplace, and we ask the organization to live its values by recognizing our union.

On the contrary, he has expanded access to guns in Florida.

And the law he just signed, SB 450, makes it easier to administer the death penalty, requiring only 8/12 jurors to impose death. This law will do nothing to prevent the next mass shooting.

Make it make sense.

DeSantis claims he is “proud to sign legislation that will prevent families from having to endure what the Parkland families have.”

Based on his comments, you would think he signed gun reform legislation. But he didn’t.

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Today, I signed legislation ensuring the victims of the most heinous crimes get justice.

Once a defendant in a capital case is found guilty by a unanimous jury, one juror should not be able to veto a capital sentence.

Legislators are out here trying to ban everything but assault weapons.

[Equality Florida @equalityfl]

Yesterday, DeSantis lashed out, playing the victim at a press conference and claiming that the book bans sweeping Florida under his watch are a "hoax."

Here are the facts.

The Venn diagram of republicans who post on social media about Women's History Month and International Women's Day but who will also vote to ban abortion is a circle.

Senator @Kathleen4SWFL, let's celebrate International Women's Day by fully supporting women, their freedom, and their bodily autonomy.

Can you commit to doing everything you can to block the newest abortion ban bills that were introduced in the FL legislature, HB7 and SB 300?

[Kathleen Passidomo @Kathleen4SWFL]

Around the world, women are achieving great things, serving as meaningful role models for the next generation. May we continue to support and raise strong women into future leaders and doers of tomorrow. Happy International Women’s Day! #IWD

Florida’s HB 999 would eliminate entire majors and courses at public universities and prohibit programs related to diversity, equity and inclusion. This is antithetical to a free society that believes in the freedom of speech and the freedom of sharing information and ideas.

Surfside is trying to target a demographic that they would rather hurt than help.

[ACLU of Florida @ACLUFL]

Courts in Florida and nationwide have made it clear: you cannot punish people for existing in public when they have no options. Individuals experiencing homelessness have the same constitutional rights as everyone else.
