ICE just shot a mom in the face and then cut another woman’s seatbelt and dragged her out of a smashed car window as she tried to get to her doctor appointment, and Senate Republicans are holding a hearing on the supposed dangers of the abortion pill.
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.
I am begging reporters to heed @jessicacalarco.com's warning here. There is too much equivocation even in articles that highlight RFK Jr's anti-vaccine zealotry. These articles juxtapose a claim he offers, with "other experts say." It is a pernicious tic of mainstream journalism and has to stop.
Tell your members of Congress to reject an abortion ban for people who rely on the Affordable Care Act.
Anti-abortion groups are pushing to ban abortion coverage for anyone who gets tax credits to pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.
If Congress caves, this would be the first federal ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and could push care out of reach for millions.
the president admitted to sexual assault on camera and it didn't matter
make them answer for why they care more about checking a child’s underwear than whether you can afford your electric bill!
I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

I love DC
AHEM AHEM AHEM
I am quite literally sick
This court could not be more unserious. Trans youth deserve the same freedom to participate in sports as their peers.
"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."
Depressing time to be a human being whose entire scope of rights hinges on courts existing and being meaningful in some way
I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.
I want to emphasize Max's point bc the law is outrageous
It explicitly grants or withholds medical treatment based on sex
It expressly aims to force trans kids to conform to their sex assigned at birth
It's a frontal assault on trans kids and the Constitution

im still mad about NYT's sadly typical piece on Skrmetti
chastising trans people right now like 'ah too big for your britches eh? why would you even bring a case challenging that overtly discriminatory, life-threatening, unconstitutional law?' is SO obscene and Nicholas Confessore should be ashamed
Graphic with an image of Sonia Sotomayor that reads:"By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."
Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution.
We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

We've been in Philadelphia and in cities and towns across the United States to exercise our First Amendment rights.
We the people will not be silenced.
Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
At the same time as we're fighting for freedom nationwide, leaders are union busting -- enough is enough.
For nearly 40 years, the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA) has ensured that doctors can provide life- and health-saving care, with NO exceptions. If these protections are dismantled, physicians could be trapped: risk prosecution or deny patients’ necessary care. That is unacceptable.
