This week my kid (nicely) asked me to stop inquiring about her day after school because "it is a little annoying to get the same question every day" and that if she had something important to tell me she would.
SHE IS NINE WHAT THE FUCK
We’re drowning in videos of police abuse: cops cars running over protestors, an officer shoving a petite woman so hard she had a seizure, cops shooting rubber bullets at reporters on live TV.
It’s clear who is escalating violence.
An Idaho woman who is miscarrying and been denied an abortion because of state law has been documenting herself getting sicker and sicker over the last two days
Whenever I get discouraged and want to quit something, I remember the words of my then 3 year-old after she puked carrots all over the living room floor: "I'm gonna need more carrots."
I know my daughter is just like me because when I asked why she didn’t like her school’s guided meditation, she said: “Because don’t tell me when to breathe, that’s why.”
Pregnancy is not a life-threatening illness, and the abortion pill does not cure or prevent any disease. Make no mistake, Mifeprex is a dangerous pill. That’s why 20 of my Republican colleagues and I are urging
@US_FDA
to classify it as such.
It's really something to watch anti-abortion women tweet today as if this isn't the same ideology that would happily ban them from having a bank account
I've seen folks tweet that if Jonah Hill wanted a gf who didn't post bathing suit pictures or have guy friends he shouldn't have dated a surfer.
But here's the thing: Emotionally abusive & controlling men don't want 'submissive' women, they want to take strong women down a peg
The more I read these panicked articles about places like NYC and San Francisco being 'unsafe', the more I realize it's not about crime at all - just discomfort with poverty being more visible
The Ashton/Mila letters are disgusting on so many levels, but the absolute fucking *nerve* of praising Danny Masterson for his commitment to a drug-free lifestyle when he used drugs to incapacitate his victims!
This Uvalde teacher who watched every single student in his classroom be killed says he will never forgive the police for abandoning them.

Women, if you're being sexually assaulted make sure you take close notice of your attacker's dick because Ben Shapiro wants to know exactly what it looks like
I was trying to explain Jordan Peterson and his meat diet to someone earlier today and I called him "Gwyneth Paltrow but for incels" and I feel like I've cracked a code

's backside while she was on the air is telling his side of the story.
In an interview with
@InsideEdition
, 43-year-old Tommy Callaway says he went to wave to the camera and got caught up in the moment.
1) this would obvs never be a story about a man
2) this is not an expensive haircut/color for a public figure who is frequently on TV
3) if her hair was raggedy, that would be the lead story instead
4) 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Rush Limbaugh had a segment called "AIDS update" set to music where he mocked dying gay people so I don't really want hear about 'speaking ill of the dead' today
There are so many TikToks of Americans living abroad who have realized how toxic US work culture / capitalism is and I would not be surprised if this is how a new generation decides to leave
If you say something super embarrassing as a teenager, I really want young people to know that by the time you're in your 40s - you'll still be thinking about it
It's fascinating to see people argue that women won't really be punished if abortion is illegal. Here are some things that have *already* happened to women despite Roe:
My 11 year-old just about broke my heart today when I asked her if she was scared about what's happening with Roe.
She said, "No, because I know you'd never let anything bad happen to me."
I don't know how to tell her that it's not always in my control.
I don't know how to raise my daughter in a country where the Supreme Court is debating how many organs are ok for women to lose before providing healthcare
Just so I'm caught up: Lauren Boebert is 'pro-life' but vaped in a pregnant woman's face? And she wants to 'protect children' from drag queens but participated in sexual acts while at a family musical?
WHY is it always projection with these people?

@DanaBashCNN
reports he checked himself into hospital as a precautionary measure.
After a really stressful day, I rallied last night and cooked a whole ass chicken pot pie (for the first time!!) because my 12 year-old asked for one.
Her response: "It's a B+"
Don't have kids
A Texas woman was forced to give birth to a baby missing part of its brain and skull.
Then - because the state that forced her to give birth doesn't have public funds for infant funerals - she had to raise money to lay her daughter to rest.
I know this is the last thing anyone is thinking about, but Claudia Conway posted a TikTok compilation of Kellyanne hurling abuse at her: calling her an asshole, an ungrateful bitch, and saying “you’re lucky your mom is pro-life”
These people are rotten to the core
So the shooter in Colorado Springs was previously arrested for making a bomb threat but his record was sealed? And his grandfather is a Republican Assemblyman in California? Am I getting that right?
Imagine you’re 20 wks pregnant when your fetus is diagnosed with a lethal condition. But no one tells you that—at least, not explicitly.
Your doctor is mandated by law to tell you the condition is “potentially life-limiting,” and that your non-viable pregnancy is “pre-viable.”
My daughter told me she has a plan for Spring as the cat-callers come out:
She's making a small sign to pull out of her pocket when men say things to her. It says, "Fuck you, I'm 12."
If you want to know what abortion bans really do, listen to the anguish of this Tennessee woman who can’t get care despite her daughter having a fatal abnormality
This is a six week pregnancy.
It has more rights than the women of Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Another Idaho hospital is shutting down its maternity ward.
Half of the OBGYNs in the state are leaving or considering leaving - and no new OBGYNs want to move there because of the abortion ban.
There's no overstating how bad this is going to get
Leaked audio of a strategy session between Tennessee lawmakers and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America reveals the anti-abortion group telling politicians to wait a year or two before going after IVF and contraception
This seems like a big fucking deal that no one has picked up on:
The American Medical Association has amended their ethical guidance to say that post-Roe, doctors should put their patients' health & safety first, even if it means breaking the law
I hate that weddings have become this “my perfect day” bullshit where instead of guests being graciously hosted, they’re expected to cater to the bride & groom’s every whim and be grateful along the way
The political director of Texas' largest anti-abortion group was arrested for solicitation of a minor - and Texas Right to Life *really* doesn't want people to know
I will never forget the rage I felt when my husband went to change the diaper of our then 1-year old on an airplane bathroom and the flight attendants nearly threw him a fucking parade
I CHANGED DIAPERS TOO

: Amy Coney Barrett is a signifier of a different sort than R.B.G. Can there be a conservative feminism that’s distinctive, coherent and influential, at least beyond quirky religious subcultures like the faculty at Notre Dame?
Worth noting: Any time Warren has spoken about sexism - like being fired for being pregnant or being sexually harassed - she has been accused of lying.
Whoever your candidate is, that says something about the price women pay for talking about their experiences.

These are pregnancies at 6 weeks and 9 weeks - right now, they have more rights and legal protections than women in 14 states.
If blocks are lifted, eight other states will soon follow suit.
If you want to know the state of our country, consider that the latest TikTok trend is mothers posting living wills begging not to be killed during pregnancy
An off-duty Hoover police officer is under investigation after a dispute with his wife early Saturday resulted in a handgun being discharged and her being shot, according to Alabama law enforcement officials.
This is important. When Gayle asked what evidence Warren had that Bloomberg told a woman to get an abortion, she answered: "Her words."
Women's experiences *are* evidence.
#DemDebate
A woman went into premature labor while being detained, her baby died, and this is ICE’s response: “a stillbirth is not considered an in-custody death”
A Tennessee woman denied an abortion despite her fetus having a fatal anomaly is running for office.
I wonder if we're going to see an influx of candidates like this—I sure hope so
Conservatives want to believe Harry Styles in a dress is some complicated attack on “masculinity” rather than the much simpler truth that it’s just hot
John Becker (OH) thinks ectopic pregnancies can be "reimplanted" in a uterus. Vito Barbieri (ID) said women can have gyn exams by swallowing a camera. Dan Flynn (TX) believes abortion requires cutting into a uterus.
Meet the men legislating your body.
