as Texas "women whose access to abortion was drastically curtailed by SB8 began to give birth in 2022, those infants were dying at much higher rates compared both to the period before the law took effect and to other states that didn’t have near-bans." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Abortion bans are also terrible for babieswww.motherjones.com A huge increase in infant deaths under Texas’s SB8 is the best evidence yet of how cruel such laws are.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

very much the words of a man who has never once worried, not for a moment, that he would be outside the law

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

Reasons people don't leave a DV situation: No reliable transportation, no financial stability, lack of support network (abusers use isolation as means of control), no place to live/go to, among many many other reasons. Stop asking why they don't leave, hold abusers accountable.

BREAKING NEWS: Washington Post runs 34585 story about Biden's mental fitness. I bet you didn't see this coming. And you'll be surprised when they run another one in 25 minutes. Also on page 45 of the Style Section: Heritage Foundation announces plan to take America by force

Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

Right-wing legal talking heads are focusing on arguing that it is RIDICULOUS to say that a second-term Trump will be empowered by immunity to do horrific things, while carefully preparing to argue in seven months that it is RIGHT that Trump do horrific things which aren’t actually horrific anyway.

1/ I'm agnostic as to whether Biden should withdraw from the race. It's a genuinely tough question IMO. But I have clarity on one thing: He should absolutely not step down as president. If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment ...

EVEN Trump lawyers and advisers were genuinely surprised at how close the Supreme Court majority got to his absurd “total” immunity argument. They expected a partial victory. They did not expect this kind of technically partial but also massive win: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

yup. I wrote about it years ago when very few people were talking about it. it has always been about a racist power grab.

And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

This is the group behind Moms for Liberty, the state house takeovers, coordinating the Proud Boys, and most of the disinformation about the border and about immigrants and asylum-seekers. They're also involved with the anti-Palestinian disinfo campaigns nationally and are connected to John Hagee.

Thought experiment: Imagine if Obama, after claiming an election had been stolen from him and being convicted of 34 felonies, was granted immunity by SCOTUS justices who had taken undisclosed luxury trips on George Soros' dime. The fact that you can't even imagine this scenario tells you something.
