HAPPENING NOW: the rotunda off of the Capitol extension is completely full with protesters rallying to oppose HB 1686 which would ban gender affirming medical care for transgender youth #txlege

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.

“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

The inside story 🧵

None of this is coincidental. Bilawal has been making rounds to DC over the last few months. There is no reason for PK’s Foreign Minister to be on the Daily Show in the midst of a massive political crisis except to distract & manufacture a narrative.

The censorship of Joyland is senseless. Pakistan is teeming with artists, filmmakers, writers and has a cultural richness and more importantly bravery that the world admires. A smart state would celebrate & promote this not silence and threaten it

Look, if you aren't expecting jokes, you might as well log off for the day. These jokes will come to your timeline and rob you of your happiness. Pillage and displace your emotions without your consent. Extract generation's worth of value from your being. Just as the crown would

Twitter: Why are you being so mean to the crown who has never done anything wrong ever

Black and brown people around the world who were subject to horrendous cruelties and economic deprivation under British colonialism are allowed to have feelings about Queen Elizabeth.

After all, they were her "subjects" too.

*kind note: this is not just a sad day for women*

1: everyone should be outraged by this decision
2: women are not the only people who need access to abortion

3: your friends who 'get it' & are 'working on it', that are only talking about women right now - call them in.

We knew it was coming and yet it still took my breath away. I have no words.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

No, the British Empire didn't just "make mistakes", with a few massacres here and there. They committed genocide on several continents, produced famines that killed tens of millions of people, and led a human trafficking cartel for 200 years. The violence was systematic.

It’s as good a day as any to re-share this thread on abortion pre-Roe. Go listen. #AbortionIsHealthcare #RoeVWade #oralhistory #CallJane #thejanecollective
