This article changed my thinking about our future post-Roe.
We’re Not Going Back to the Time Before Roe. We’re Going Somewhere Worse https://t.co/VOhvqkQSpP via @NewYorker

SCOTUS plans to overturn Roe because there's no right to abortion in the Constitution? Are other rights vulnerable?What about the recently created corporate right of free speech? Oh, that's staying? Takeaway: Dobbs is nothing but a power play by a politicized Court.

This case is an outrage. Despite all that corroboration, Virtanen isn't prosecuted for rape and Wallin is prosecuted for defamation?! https://t.co/SreNd9k0O6

This article misses the essential point that Labor spending on politics/policy is necessary because the rules are skewed against organizing. @lizshuler is right: successful organizing requires policy reform + a political campaign to get it. @noamscheiber https://t.co/1H72h7c3vB

@SamHarrisOrg I've read Waking Up twice now and found it quite helpful, but I'm still unclear exactly what you mean by the non-existent self, the non-existent "thinker of thoughts." Isn't some thought e.g. this message self directed? Any guidance is much appreciated.#asksam

Yesterday's riot at the Capitol: #totallypredictable. Today's effort by Republicans to distance themselves from it: #totallypredictable.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Sheltering in Cannon: Trump was rejected in courts by people his party appointed, rejected by states where his party was in power & now by his party’s Senate leader & VP. Democracy is still sacred for Americans. That spirit will overcome today’s violence. Prayers for the injured.

This excellent article contains an internal FTI document that designates roles for its operatives to play on social media. The doc describes and labels an awful lot of online chatter - both counterfeit and genuine. https://t.co/3mUgJLrcJh

If the conservatives on @Scotus attempt to give the election to @realDonaldTrump and @JoeBiden still wins we must add two seats to the Court in order to protect our democracy. The judiciary is no longer the least dangerous branch. https://t.co/Nhrk0yQDZd

And let's not @TheSVO record of supporting bigotted candidates like homophobes Larry Pegram and Steve Brown. There's a longstanding pattern.

[Jeffrey Buchanan @JRBinSV]

Some historical context on the racist @TheSVO ad against Jake Tonkel, its not a one-off. This is a part of the SVO playbook.

Why has the black-white wage gap increased since 1980? "The minimum wage has stagnated in some states, unions have shrunk.." https://t.co/WH6WV04wqj
