We encourage DSA members to support ongoing reproductive justice work: sign up as a clinic escort and donate to @abortionfunds in red states. Abortion bans are class warfare. Free abortion on demand and without apology.
@adammc123 i think that's right (afaik), except they banned capital punishment and then un-did the ban? Not quite a fundamental right, and a shorter time span. But also the Court has basically unlimited discretion. We're effed.
@adammc123 What would the grounds be? Also hasn't departmentalism been rejected? Best/only hope is getting rid of the filibuster. And packing SCOTUS if they had the guts for it.
This is such an old take. Rich women could have access to repro care IF their husband/father permit it. Still no real freedom/autonomy. Bigger issue now is geography -- what state do you live in/how close to a friendly state border are you?
The right to privacy is more rooted in Constitutional text & intention than a 9-judge SCOTUS. Pack the Court, end the filibuster, & get ready to give all your $ to abortion funds and defense funds for ppl who will be prosecuted for having a miscarriage or seeking an abortion.
I see that we've hit the Hillary-Bernie-RBG-Sarandon finger pointing portion of the night here, which does make me want to repost this from December after the oral arguments in this case: https://t.co/Uc9JlkKbHK
A whistleblower just gave us a seismic warning. Democrats in the Senate could suspend the filibuster and codify Roe tomorrow. Where’s the accountability for the Dems standing in our own way?
Apropos of nothing and everything at once, hi! 👋🏽
We're @RewireNewsGroup, a non-profit newsroom, and we've been doing legal reproductive journalism since what feels like the beginning of time—and we will be long after #RoeVWade is dead.
Abortion bans are class warfare.
➡️ Metro DC DSA will be rallying on the steps of the Supreme Court beginning at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ⬅️
Banning abortions will harm millions of people, especially people of color and working class people.
See you there ✊
New York has already expunged more than 300k cannabis possession and sale convictions. Another 100,000 convictions are in the process of being expunged.
We are only able to celebrate today because we are righting historic wrongs #420facts
In 1964 a Holocaust survivor and organic chemist named Raphael Mechoulam was the first researcher to identify THC as the cannabinoid that makes you feel high.
For this, he’s known as the father of cannabis research. #420facts
We ask our members to support the efforts of @amazonlabor through donations to the union and pledge to work in tandem with our sister unions and allied community organizations to support ALU in winning its inaugural contract. #ALU#Amazon#1U#UnionStrong https://t.co/YP1Ozpypyy
This state budget is unacceptable. It fails to prioritize the needs of working people and excludes our undocumented neighbors from access to services that the rest of us enjoy. It commits public $ to an NFL team owned by a billionaire, while failing to fund #Coverage4All.
