I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

[Emily Galvin-Almanza @GalvinAlmanza]

While everyone is talking about the gun case, please consider Vega v. Tekoh: SCOTUS just said that if police fail to inform you of your rights, you can't sue them.

This is the death of "Miranda rights."

Ordinary people are disempowered, government impunity grows.

[Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal]

A friendly reminder that five out of six conservative Justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by Presidents that lost the popular vote.

[Seth Moulton @sethmoulton]

Just so everyone knows, these are the states - including Massachusetts - that had one of their gun laws overturned today.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

“We understand times are tough, for you, the person paying a day’s wages for a tank of gas so we can make record profits and pretend there’s nothing we can do about high gas prices. We’re all in this together.”

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

The purpose of police is the protect property, the status quo, wealth and power. And they are not useless at that, not failures or incapable or lacking in training. They are extremely good at that, because that is what they're for. /2

this paragraph is brutal. we truly are in an “emperor has no clothes” point in history

[dan a @decafdana]

the cruelty of the US prison system is beyond belief

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Your 4/20 reminder that people of color made up 94% of marijuana-related arrests by the NYPD in 2020.

Chauvin is the 7th on-duty cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of around 15,000 police killings in that time.

"Bloom acknowledged that a crisis and recovery period, with its billions of federal dollars designated for housing, might very well be the best time to 'push the envelope' and 'rethink what makes a good neighborhood.'"

This is tonight, Sunday 3/21. Pls join us for a moment of reflection in community

[Bed-Stuy Strong @bedstuystrong]

This Sunday (03/19) at 7:30 PM, we are hosting a vigil at Herbert Von King amphitheater on the anniversary of shelter-in-place in NYC. To mourn all we’ve lost, to celebrate how people have cared for each other, to mark the distance between our hopes and our reality.

[Bed-Stuy Strong @bedstuystrong]

One year ago this week, days before shelter-in-place in NYC, @smathewss put up the flyers inviting neighbors to join a then-empty Slack group called Bed Stuy Strong. Y’all joined, contributed, organized, and built this collective into what it is today.

It’s hard for me to imagine how awful the last year would have been had I not found this wonderful community. I am so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together in the last year, and so grateful to live in such an incredibly resilient neighborhood.

[Samantha Garfield @sambgarfield]

THIS is the crew love vibe I want to see in my city’s leader 💜🧡💛

[Dianne Morales @Dianne4NYC]

Tell me I don’t have the most badass team of women lifting me up!!! And thanks to all of you who joined us for tonight’s Roseball celebration. NYC we’re here. And we’re not going back!
