And if I said it's still "fuck her and the horse she rode in on" over here in THESE parts???

Chile, I've never been an A03/fanfic girlie, but I fear this show is going to make me one. 😔

Gonna try to hang out here for a while because that show has taken over my Twitter and TikTok feeds.

(It's my own fault, tbh!)

Y’all are right and you should say it.

A photo of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce embracing and smiling with their foreheads touching, set in a garden decorated with flowers. Text has been added: over Travis it says “Fighting for abortion access in Texas,” and over Taylor it says “Us.” The meme humorously frames their embrace as representing the bond between the community and the fight for abortion access.

💍 Congrats to Taylor Swift — we’re celebrating our own forever love story: Texans + the fight for abortion access. ✨

Idk y'all... I kinda think I know this Federal Courts shit

OR, maybe she knows more about this than you? Just spitballing.

Anyway, this Mounjaro has my shit backed up to my throat, so I'm going to do something more productive with my time than go back and forth with some "granny" who doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground:

Girl, who is "we?" You're talking to Black women doing this work LITERALLY IN THE SOUTH.

Do you know how all abortion bans work? Do you think all abortion providers have outstanding warrants for their arrest?

I literally went to a convening of abortion funds/orgs in New Orleans. Zero issues lol.

☝🏾 Largely Black and brown people, mind you!

GIRL, THE REPERCUSSIONS FOR A SHOOTING WOULD BE DIFFERENT?

Please be so fucking for real, lmao

Do you think abortion providers are doing abortions at conferences? 🧍🏾‍♀️

And by the way, the same antis who can shoot up a conference in Atlanta can shoot one up in Pittsburgh, hope this helps!

Are you not assuming the worst about Southerners by asking if people's safety can be "secured," even though pro-abortion work is being done DAILY there without incident?

What is it you're afraid of? Pro-abortion orgs hold events all the time in the South without incident. I'm going to one that's been heavily advertised next month.

You gotta chill. You sound like a MAGA scared to go to Chicago, lol.

Picture of Patrick Schwarzenegger as Saxon Ratliffe in the third season of white lotus. He is looking over his shoulder with tears in his eyes and look of longing. 

Watching abortion clinics opening up in non-ban states. Wish that could be us.

I'm sorry, but I simply don't understand what the big deal is with being able to sue a state.

(I just read Hans v Louisiana)

There is a bill in the Texas legislature that's nothing more than an abortion ban wrapped in new packaging. It has the support of Democratic legislators.

Hear from an actual doctor who performs abortions in Texas about how dangerous this bill really is.

“in the exercise of reasonable medical judgment, the pregnant [person]...has a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places the [person] at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function…”

Doctors across the state have been confused
as to what constitutes a “medical emergency”
The bill attempts to define “medical emergency,”
saying it’s defined by Section 170A.002(b)(2)
What’s that section say?
I’ll tell you, but when you read it,
you’ll be more confused.

SB31/ HB 44 is another abortion ban,
wrapped up in a word game.
TxDems think it adds clarifying language
that will help me/us save lives,
But it doesn’t.
Instead, it revives a 100+ year old abortion ban
that I sued Ken Paxton over in 2022.
I sued to make sure that ban was dead and I won.

Why is the bill a word game?
Dems are saying this bill is a fix because
it strikes out “life threatening” from the ban.
But literally the next line in the ban still says,
“places the female at risk of death”
You don’t need to be an English major
to know that sentence still has the same meaning.

#TxDems are saying this bill is a “fix”
to our harmful abortion bans.
I really wish that were true.
I am the person that provides that life saving care.
The reality is, this bill will not help me save a single life,
But, it will endanger thousands more lives in the process.

But SB31/ HB44 resurrects that dead ban.
It paves the way to criminalize abortion funds,
abortion support networks,
doctors that provide abortion information (like me),
and even people getting abortions and their families.
This bill will not help me save a single life,
but endangers many.

I am one of the FEW abortion doctors left in Texas.
I am Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology
AND Board Certified in Complex Family Planning
I am a Texas #abortion expert
Some might say, I’m THE Texas abortion expert
I oppose SB31/ HB 44
Why?

Reproductive justice includes the right to raise our families in safe environments, free from state-sanctioned violence. ICE's actions are horrific. Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his wife, preparing for the arrival of their child. Protesting genocide should not get you put in jail.

Urgent call to action! Cobalt attempts to illegally fire bargaining unit employees! While we're all overwhelmed by constant political attacks on our rights, Cobalt is using this moment and the Trump administration to union bust. This is retaliation. This "restructuring" targets 2/3 of our bargaining committee and eliminates key union jobs. This impacts the communities we work in and undermines the work we did to pass amendment 79. See it for yourself (go to next slide)

A letter from Cobalt leadership to Cobalt Workers United that says: "This letter is to inform you that the Cobalt Foundation is undergoing a change in the direction of our organization. As a result of an ongoing strategic planning process and the direction for the next five years, Cobalt has changed our scope and priorities. The ballot initiative we passed in 2024 enables us to shift our work away from organizing and field work and toward policit development, deepening partnerships, the expansion of our abortion fund and development of our overall regional efforts. As a result, we are reorganizing our staffing structure."

We need you to take action: Refrain from accepting Cobalt sponsorships; mass unfollow Cobalt on social media; refrain from partnerships; unsubscribe from emails; cancel monthly donations; email Cobalt leadership

I didn't include Cobalt in my CO resource thread because they're currently engaging in union busting. Read the following screenshots from the union's Instagram post and follow their calls to action, starting with sending a letter to leadership using this link: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Every day on the internet is a new lesson that a lot of y'all have no clue what you're talking about.
