Another woman killed by an abortion ban.
NEW:
In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

Intellectual honesty about the motives of Kirk’s assassin are in short supply.
Many on the left proclaimed him a far-right follower of Fuentes, who’s attacked Kirk from the right.
Meanwhile, parts of the right (see 🧵⬇️) & now far left (see below) proclaim that Israel/Mossad/the Jews did it.

The dominant conspiracy theory that I’m seeing emerge about Charlie Kirk’s death among his fans themselves is that he was assassinated by Israel or Mossad because he started “asking too many questions.”
Interesting indicator of where young MAGA is moving on Israel, potentially.

Far saltare il primo portone di #Evin. Un obiettivo "altamente simbolico". Peccato che i prigionieri politici non sono simboli. Qualcuno è stato ferito, altri, pare, colpiti dalle guardie nel tentativo di fuggire (può darsi che questa fuga l'abbia inventata il regime).
