Just one example: women passed twice as many bills as their male peers in a recent session of Congress. https://t.co/P2wMfXLVTf #electwomen

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

Here's the thing-- Mitch McConnell is gaslighting us. Republicans rammed through a bill to give huge tax breaks to corporations and the mega-rich, and now they're using its consequences as an excuse to propose cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. It's all part of the GOP fever dream.

Reminder: Every single person posting #WhyIDidntReport is reliving their trauma to try and teach folks to extend long overdue empathy and protection. The folks posting are only a drop in the bucket – so many people aren't (and may never be) ready to relive that trauma.

Over HALF of all women and girls have a "pre-existing condition," but are currently guaranteed coverage through the Affordable Care Act. If Kavanaugh sways the balance of #SCOTUS, that protection could be lost and millions could lose their access to healthcare. #StopKavanaugh

Pregnant Women Said They Miscarried In Immigration Detention And Didn't Get The Care They Needed https://t.co/xs3ZLhWGVH via @o_ema

[Women's March @womensmarch]

When we say #KeepFamiliesTogether, when we advocate against child camps - we do not mean that we should incarcerate children and families together. Family detention camps are NOT the answer. We need long term sustainable change. #WomenDisobey #AbolishICE

We are sitting in at the offices of Customs and Border Patrol.

Release the asylum seekers and reunite them with their children. End family separation. NOW.

Every hour that goes by is another hour of trauma for these moms, dads, little boys, girls and babies.

Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions has ordered immigration judges to stop granting asylum to most victims of domestic abuse and gang violence, a move that would block tens of thousands of people, especially women, from seeking refuge in America https://t.co/McoZywPwx4

.@realdonaldtrump, it’s absurd that you don’t know the difference between HPV & HIV yet you’d block access to #reprohealth professionals with a gag rule. #NoGagRule

Title X gives women access to contraception and more control over their lives, health, careers, & economic security — and a gag rule takes that care away. https://t.co/q8EDh1drWM #NoGagRule

Does the Michigan Medicaid work requirement legislation, if passed, violate federal civil rights laws by disproportionately impacting African-Americans while giving rural, white regions a pass? We explore all sides of the controversy. https://t.co/NK7f0IJcMS via @LindsayVanHulle
