this is severe, untreatable, terminal lawyer brain. so many legal academics act like the constitution is not a vessel intended to secure actual human rights and dignity, but a mere matter of intellectual curiosity, meant to be batted around like a cat with a toy

From CSPAN:
Rep. @AOC on during Laken Riley Act debate: "When a private prison camp opens in your town and they say, 'we didn't know this was going to happen,' know that they did and they voted for it."

I honestly don't know where this leaves Georgia Democrats re: Warnock and Ossoff.

Actually, the 14th Amendment still exists Trump signed an executive order purporting to rewrite birthright citizenship. That's not how the Constitution works.

United States-born children are citizens and no executive order can change that.

We’ll fight to ensure birthright citizenship remains the law of the land.

Trans people have been here since the beginning.

And we're not going anywhere.

We’re suing President Trump.

The 14th Amendment is clear: People born in the United States are citizens. An executive order cannot override the Constitution.

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments. Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
