This lady has been holding this sign at the middle of the intersection, stone cold, not a word uttered.
I still think the country is underestimating the anger of women and Gen Z. They won't take this sitting down. They won't go back.
Trump isn't the threat. It's the entire GOP and right-wing ecosystem. They'll simply discard Trump and replace him with DeSantis. The entire conservative movement is radicalized and weaponized. The rational Republicans are gone. It's power and party above country.
Expanding the Court is not extreme. What's extreme is 6 political operatives gutting the government's ability to combat climate change, stripping people of bodily autonomy, blocking states from preventing gun violence and blurring the separation of church and state. For starters.
My husband reading with 6 yo and explaining “Miss, Mrs, Ms”: “Isn’t it wild that we created all these different words to tell the world whether or not a woman is married, but not for a man?”
We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.
If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next.
All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.
We have to codify Roe v. Wade into law.
And as I said this morning: If the filibuster gets in the way, then we need to make an exception to get it done.
Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was “unconstitutional”, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.
It took decades of work and many elections for conservatives to bring us here. It’s going to take decades of work and many elections to get us out of this dystopian nightmare.
The republican Supreme Court is on a rampage. Six rightwing judges, elected by no one, are taking a sledgehammer to the pillars of American life.
Democracy is in peril. It’s obvious we must expand and balance the court and I’d like to explain why (🧵)
Hold the House. Add just 2 more Democratic Senators. Eliminate the filibuster and pass a bill codifying Roe into law. That's our job in November and it's doable. If you voted in 2020 and vote again in 2022, we will win.
'I believe lying under oath is an impeachable offense' — Days after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, AOC said justices must face consequences if they lie under oath during their confirmation hearings
If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.
Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.
calm down, Trump can't win.
calm down, Trump will grow in office.
calm down, Ivanka will be a moderating influence.
calm down, Mueller will get Trump.
calm down, John Roberts cares about his legacy.
calm down, Roe is settled law.
I'm so fucking tired of being told to calm down
No, the Senate bill codifying Roe did not pass, but tomorrow we get up and we fight again. And in November, we take that fight right to the ballot box.
All 50 Republican Senators opposed a House-passed bill to enshrine a woman’s right to choose the size and timing of her family into law.
49 Democratic Senators sided with a 75% supermajority of the American people who support #RoeVWade.
Organize now — and remember in November.
It is outrageous that in the year 2022 we are talking about the government saying to women that they cannot have the choice about what they can do with their own bodies.
