Representative Zooey Zephyr spoke on CBS Primetime with John Dickerson on how her voice was silenced on anti-trans bills.
“When minorities speak to the harm these bills cause, those folks in power do not want to be held accountable.”
Montana Rep. Zooey Zephyr has been silenced in her legislature, after she told Republican lawmakers they would have “blood on their hands” if they approved legislation banning gender affirming care for transgender youth.
@ZoAndBehold joined @CarlNasman on @BBCWorld to discuss her comments:
Ryan Zinke will vote lockstep with his extremist party to ban abortion in every instance. Even in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk.
He will force a woman to complete a pregnancy even if it kills her. Explain to me how that is pro-life?
This new Montana district is winnable. We can and WILL defeat Zinke and his extremist agenda this November, but we need to work together. Can I count on you to chip in $10? >> https://t.co/0jhCYofFXf
Some other places he mentioned that night where GOP governors will probably end up sending migrants: Aspen, CO; Edgartown and Brookline, MA; Georgetown in Washington, DC; Burlington, VT; Malibu, CA; Bozeman, MT.

THREAD 1. ‘What the hell just happened?’ - My partner (a 999 Fire Control supervisor) and I both used exactly the same phrase as we got home from work today. The true story of today will not become clear until incidents are debriefed, call and incident numbers are reconciled, and
This is not “the new normal”. The climate crisis will continue to escalate and get worse as long as we stick our heads in the sand and prioritise profit and greed over people and planet. We are still sleepwalking towards the edge.
No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I want women in Canada to know that we will always stand up for your right to choose.
The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.
