@thereidout@JoyAnnReid Everyone is saying “abortion” but what drove people was bigger than that. People came out to support “reproductive justice.” I’d love a terminology change!
@ktbenner Why was he kept on as the head of a division in the Dept of Justice after his superiors learned he believed the Big Lie because he *read it on the internet*? Among other things, that blows my mind. Thank you for the incredible reporting.
A reminder on the 48th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Reproductive oppression has always been a tactic for control -- control of the white patriarchy over every one else. They bank on our silence and discomfort for their strategy to work.
Talking openly about abortion not only normalizes healthcare utilized by 1 in 4 people in our country (dayenu), but it also takes power away from an organized movement led by people who fight for minority rule. Break the spell: Say the word abortion, on Roe day and other days.
My colleague Bonnie Watson Coleman contracted COVID-19 after sheltering in a room where many Republicans outright REFUSED to wear a mask. She escaped one dangerous situation just to enter another.
I wish her a speedy recovery as we continue to fight for accountability.
I cannot stop thinking about this video.
She is so indignant that she was treated like part of a seditious riot even though, as she says perfectly normally, she was storming the capitol because she is part of a “revolution.”
This is a defining video from yesterday.
These people thought they'd storm the Capitol and, boom, Trump is president forever.
No grand plan. They got in and awaited the next part of the movie.
QAnon, "trust the plan," and the president put them there.
Yesterday some Proud Boys wore shirts with 6MWE insignia. It means 6 million (Jews) wasn't enough. A reminder that if democracy becomes vulnerable, genocidal forces in the wings are ready to rise. Yes, even in America. #CapitolRiots
Trump called in to the Republican National Committee meeting this morning...and he was GREETED WITH CHEERS
(Don’t believe political theater. Believe how people act when they don’t think they’re being watched.)
