You deserve safety, not isolation and punishment. If you need emergency care, are worried about your abusive ex and need an abortion, or just have questions about abortion, miscarriage, or birth, we've got you. Know your rights and get legal help: https://t.co/Ogrj1H0R74

Nobody should have to endure this and lose their lives to cruel laws. Medical racism and the violence of abortion bans are robbing people of their families and futures. Being denied emergency care, call our Helpline. We're here to advocate for support you deserve: 844-868-2812.
Tierra Walker should still be alive today. TX's abortion ban killed her. We know that abortion bans impact people of color, especially Black and Latine women, the most. We will never stop fighting for reproductive justice for all of us. https://t.co/D3vcH3RTMW

We refuse to allow Tierra Walker's name to be erased. And we cannot to be silent about this unbearable, unnecessary, unrelenting injustice. Tierra Walker deserved so much better. We all do.
When Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old from Texas, asked doctors about terminating her high-risk pregnancy to save her life, they assured her she had nothing to worry about. Then she died of preeclampsia. https://t.co/wHgY01AWO8

On January 13, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in challenges to state laws targeting transgender girls in sports. This from @pablofindsout is a great explainer on why the right-wing legal movement hopes this issue helps them push trans people out of public life altogether

Yes @Katie_Bergh! Bottom line here is after enacting the deepest SNAP cuts in history & needlessly disrupting SNAP benefits during the shutdown, the Administration is doubling down on attacks on our nation’s most important & effective anti-hunger program.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins' talk about making SNAP recipients reapply for benefits has program stakeholders scratching their heads.

In designating @CAIRNational a "foreign terrorist organization" the Governor of Texas seems to have forgotten he can't actually do that... Only a federal govt can make that designation. This is just political theater and a headline grab, not actual law y'all. @GregAbbott_TX

Gov. Greg Abbott filed the designation letter Tuesday. CAIR said in a statement the governor's "publicity stunt masquerading as a proclamation has no basis in fact or law."

It could be confusion or people find it easier to attack those in need.
People seem to be confused. 44% of workers are paid less than a living wage. When workers are paid less than a living wage, they’re forced to rely on social safety nets to survive. That’s not a taxpayer “handout” to workers. That’s a taxpayer handout to corporations.
