Why has 'moving on' from Covid come to mean almost abandoning those made chronically ill by the virus & those who continue to be debilitated by it? 'Moving on' from Covid, whatever it means, doesn't have to mean this. Biomedical research & treatment trials aren't restrictions.

@Bang2write Your excellent thread made me think of this. https://t.co/g8UJxpriWP

The messaging needs to be clear, consistent and true. “Congress can override what the Supreme Court did and pass a law to legalize abortion. To do that, we need to elect 2 more Democratic Senators and to hold the House. Pres Biden will sign a law codifying Roe if that happens.”

@nothappyinwv @JohnCornyn Like, it’s the whole point of the first paragraph of the statement.

Dem leaders must tell voters the plan: What’s the *actual* need? Which specific seats are we focused on? WHAT votes do we need & WHERE (what states + races?) And, what’s the return? What is Biden/Congress ACTUALLY willing+able to do at 52/60 seats? Be honest. Details motivate

For the moments when we DO insist on elections, we must be PRECISE with what we need and we will do with that power: How many seats does the party need to Codify Roe? Dems must SAY THAT. Not just “go vote” or “give us $6 to win.” That is demoralizing, losing, unfocused nonsense

Microsoft, Google and Meta friends, a somber reminder, that despite the public posturing yesterday, leadership has chosen to fund the republicans for years to buy access and favors: https://t.co/AbqGtRBVkQ

It's quite telling that major companies aren't criticizing the Supreme Court ruling but instead offering workarounds to abortion bans as a company perk. This is quite Dystopian because it's already assumed to be a new normal and makes people even more dependent on their employers

Sold out oakland 😵‍💫

Things Biden could do: 1. Set up abortion clinics on federal land inside red states (@ewarren’s idea) 2. Federal telehealth service for free abortion pills 3. Funding for abortion clinics and travel vouchers in nearby states None of this is “waiving a magic wand”

Universal healthcare and childcare. Gun safety. Combating climate change. The GOP opposes it all. If they refuse to support life after birth, how can they claim to believe in it before? Truth is, this is not about life and never has been. It’s about seizing power and control. https://t.co/Qbl7480YtL

why did she word it like this LSNDMDJDKHDMDJDMDNDJ https://t.co/bzKnwMG5DB

I don't think it's clear to non-Americans that coupled with abortion being banned soon in many parts of the US, there is also no maternity leave, no universal health care, birth can cost thousands of $, and many jobs don't support pumping and formula can just be out of stock

there are snipers on the roof aiming at protesters https://t.co/hXjBHk8Y0P

absolutely refuse to believe that top-level democrats are sad about Roe. if anything, they’re ecstatic: they’ve got the next 25+ years of campaigning and funding laid out for them. it’s gonna be “donate to democrats to help fight for abortion access!!!” from now till rapture

A recent @NBCNews poll showed only 30% of U.S. voters wanted Roe v. Wade overturned. https://t.co/PC7HrCFzpY

Those men were at the constitutional convention on stolen land writing about "freedom" while eating meals prepared by the human beings they owned. Some chewed and swallowed that food with teeth stolen from someone else's mouth. And we were taught in school to call them "fathers."

Joe Biden boutta say the longest damn that's crazy We've ever seen

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

Forced birth in a country that doesn’t have mandatory maternity leave or universal healthcare…

Married LGBTQ people: CALL A LAWYER. Get copies of birth certificates and custody for your children on paper. Make sure life insurance policies, property that you own, bank account information, passwords for things, Powers of Attorney, etc. are all set up & understood

We've seen men who people said would “never get elected” get elected. We're seeing things people said would “never get overturned” be overturned. It's long been time to drop the illusions about what will “never happen” in the USA.

A lot of people, especially on days like yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings, ask me about hope. Now is the time to stick together. Some thoughts from last night’s Q&A: https://t.co/zos9sUb0u3

These guys are just politicians. The Constitution to them is just a fun tool to help them impose their political views on the entire country. The implausible inconsistency of the guns and abortion rulings is both sickening and revealing.

America, where you can take away people’s rights by taking a guess at the intentions of dead people who would’ve been scared of a lightbulb

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.
