100% --> "No matter how long it takes, antiabortion advocates will keep sending up cases & seeing what sticks, just as they did in attacking Roe v. Wade. And no matter what happens with mifepristone, this Supreme Court is not done with #abortion just yet."

At least 66,000 people could not receive abortion care in their home state in the final 6 months of 2022. This is the result of Republicans’ extreme abortion bans across the country. Abortion is essential health care. We will keep fighting until access is restored for all.

Translation: a federal #abortion ban. They’ve never tried to hide their grand plan to take away people’s rights - abortion, marriage, voting, and more. We’re not being hysterical. We’re simply listening to the words coming out of the mouths of these extremists.

NEW: Fmr VP PENCE took on Trump on abortion access Saturday, telling reporters here he does “not agree with the former president who says this is a ‘state’s only’ issue,” adding “I think we have an opportunity to advance the sanctity of life” at state & fed level.

Having family all over the world is normally wonderful, except when someone is sick and you feel super far away from everyone. F*ck cancer.

Every day I’m grateful that my brother and I are on the same page and are both fully committed to supporting our Mom and keep her safe/healthy. I can’t imagine navigating all of this solo.

2017: Matt Kacsmaryk is nominated to be a federal judge for the north TX district court. His confirmation stalls for years. And just this week, we learned he even lied to hide just how bizarre his obsession with controlling people's bodies really is. dallasnews.com/news/politics/

Cool, cool. How about first we close the wage gap (for all women), have national paid family & medical leave, pay everyone a living wage, & fix caregiving across generations? Otherwise how is anyone other than the most privileged woman supposed to do this?

Disgusting. And will be outright harmful to so many young people.

The caregiving system in this country is so broken - across generations. My family has lived it. Thrilled to see any progress toward making care more accessible for families, and toward paying caregivers appropriately for their incredible and vital work.

If you’re paying any federal income taxes this year—any at all—you’re funding our country more than this billionaire did in 2007 or 2011. It’s time for the rich and powerful to pay their fair share, and that includes a #WealthTax on fortunes greater than $50 million.
