Shoutout to whatever Supreme Court clerk just risked their career giving us this heads up and a last chance to show just how much of an unmitigated, divisive, ugly shitshow it's going to be if the Court overturns Roe.

I doubt it will make a difference. Thanks all the same.

As we celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth, here's your reminder that ZERO Democratic AAPI women have served in the California State Legislature since 2014. #CALeg

Gender equality starts with achieving equal representation in our elected officials. Let's close the gap. #IWD2022

✨"The women of 2022 are the future many of us have dreamed of for decades-"✨ excited to share this perspective in @CalMatters https://t.co/JjCa9Lyr59… #WeRecruit #ElectWomen #TheMotherlodeHasArrived

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

About 70% of Americans want #RoeVWade to remain the law of the land, but this radical Supreme Court is ready to pitch it overboard next year. This should be a wake-up call for millions across the country. We need to rebalance the Supreme Court and protect abortion rights.

*Waves* Hi! It's us. We're the advocacy group. 😀

I am honored to have Senator @ConnieMLeyva's endorsement in this campaign. I have admired her trailblazing leadership in the labor movement and her tenacious advocacy for working families in our State Capitol. 1/2

Imagine the absolute (and justified) freakout if a blue state passed a law that paid any citizen $10,000 & covered their legal fees for suing any person they saw without a mask. Every Republican would be screaming about totalitarianism.

That's what Texas has done - but to women.

This is why we all panicked when RBG died. In case anyone was wondering.

If @MiaBonta were to win, she would be the first Black woman elected to the Legislature north of LA since 1996 when @RepBarbaraLee won her last term in senate h/t @closethegapCA

Bonta leads special election Assembly race @JananiforCA not conceding https://t.co/3EOuY32Lvg

"Regardless of who wins, they will help set an all-time record in Sacramento this year: 32.5% of the members of the Legislature are women, according to @closethegapCA, which recruits and trains women to run for state office." via @joegarofoli @sfchronicle

To be clear: Planned Parenthood health centers remain open, and we are here to help Texans navigate this dangerous law. We will continue to fight in the courts for abortion rights and access.

Under my plan, Jeff Bezos would pay a $5.4 billion #WealthTax of his estimated net worth of $181 billion. He could still pay for his space missions and super-yachts, if that’s where he gets his kicks. But as a nation, we could invest in our people—including universal child care.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t get past the fact that the FBI Director set up a phony tip line for people to report information about Brett Kavanaugh, then secretly funneled the “relevant” info to the White House, then covered it up for two years AND HE’S STILL THE FBI DIRECTOR

Young Black athletes are launching a mental health revolution.

Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka, Raven Saunders and others have publicly taken their mental health into their hands in a way never seen before in elite sports.

[Women's March @womensmarch]

Two-thirds of low-wage workers are women, disproportionately women of color. If we raised the minimum wage to $15 today, 1 in 4 people affected would be Black women or Latinas.

We've been waiting 12 years for the raise we need and deserve. Congress needs to act.
