I know young Amanda will be there, even as mom Amanda watches. Sorrow, healing, and release.
Newly 49 and nearly 18.
No sense holding on when the letting go is the gift.

I wish we would stop normalizing whiteness, maleness, and cisness. if you're going to say "Sheila, a black trans lesbian", also say, "Jared, a cis white heterosexual". Yes, in everyday conversations.
While we're at it, Robert Bruce Banner should be referenced as "HeHulk"

So much in horticulture is held together by this unspoken idea that nature isn't good enough as we find it, and that altering it is a testament of our love and adoration more than our uncomfortableness with ourselves and the places we find ourselves in.

A woman in Louisiana is being forced to carry a fetus without a skull to term. It will be dead on delivery.
Because abortion is banned, she’s being forced to carry a corpse for 6 more months.
Roe v Wade kept us from stories like these every day.

The fallacy that the “perfect victim” of sexual assault/rape is one who fights back or runs to get help is extremely harmful.
A 2016 report found 70% of survivors experienced some freezing & 48% experienced extreme tonic immobility during the assault.

Last night spoke about affordable housing vs attainable housing. Affordable suggests a threshold that leaves people on edges that go unseen and aren't advocated for. We need attainable housing. Vote 4 local voices supporting quality of life for all. #BlueWave

These alarming Moms For Liberty facts won’t matter to some journalists who only see these parents, and those anti-school masking parents as warriors for both their own kids, AND for the poor kids who obviously need saving because no one else cares to fight for them properly.
Quote Tweet
Members of Moms For Liberty, the group actively banning books across the country, terrorizing queer kids, and taking over school boards, calling for LGBTQ kids to be put in separate classrooms “like kids with autism and Down syndrome”.

BREAKING: We are challenging a Florida law that bans educators and students from discussing race and gender in college classrooms. Banning discussions on systemic racism in classrooms violates the First and 14th Amendment rights of educators and students across the state.

This is a dangerous precedent. If you examine the language - the teen is 'too young' to make a decision to terminate a pregnancy but old enough to assume parental responsibilities. Yeah, read that again. Transferring rights to bodily autonomy to the state. Are you okay with that?
Quote Tweet
Make no mistake about what's happening here. When it comes to abortion rights, young people have long been the thin edge of the wedge to pry away the reproductive rights of all. And those dependent upon state "care" are subject to the most coercion.

The Republican party has become nothing short of dangerous. If defending democracy puts you out of a job, then the GOP has more problems than we can see on the surface.

The status of minors in a post-Roe America: Not mature enough to make decisions over your own body, but mature enough to be forced to continue with a pregnancy.
Quote Tweet
Florida appeals court affirms an order prohibiting a parentless 16-year-old from terminating her pregnancy on the grounds that she has not proved she is mature enough to get an abortion. So the state will force her to have a child instead. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2213
