Tierra Walker knew that abortion was illegal in Texas, but she thought that hospitals could make an exception for patients like her, whose health was clearly on the line.

At 20 weeks pregnant, she died of preeclampsia.
Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

Republicans stripped healthcare from millions of us so they could hand billionaires tax cuts and shovel obscene amounts of money into the ICE budget.

I’m outraged over this. Aren’t you? NOT ONE MORE DIME‼️

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Ain’t this the truth.
They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared.

No one has been convicted.

The government is literally lying to us to create propaganda to advance a white supremacist agenda, and we still have elected Dems who think they can work with these people and vote for their agenda. I am so angry all the time now.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

I'll say it again: This proposal would ensure that certain victims of traffic violence get zeroed out, to the direct benefit of the drivers who cause that traffic violence.

It's looking at the severity of traffic violence in NY and deciding that the problem is the fact that victims get paid.
Big business and shadowy tech giants are behind Gov. Hochul's proposal to lower car insurance premiums and reduce compensation to crash victims, betraying her claim that she's merely focused on "affordability."

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation.

We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.
The new NYT poll finds Trump 17 points underwater on immigration, and the nonwhite and young voters who went to Trump in 2024 have snapped back to Dems

It's almost as if 2024 might not have represented a seismic cultural realignment on immigration after all, despite 1,000 NYT op eds to the contrary

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Forgot who Knicks were playing tonight and missed game. Annoying.

Just hearing how many points they won by and immediately knowing they must’ve played the Nets. Priceless.

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

Trump is giving a deranged, rambling monologue in Davos to an audience stunned into silence. He sounds incredibly tired, his voice raspy; he keeps trailing off into long pauses. It's jaw-dropping.
