Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs
They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively *won’t* draft you into an illegal war.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’

Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

The Trump Playbook:

1. Manufacture a crisis.
2. Hype it up.
3. Pretend you solved it.
4. Declare yourself the victor.
5. Repeat.

Basically has our allies asking, “what bone do we throw this crazy idiot so he can parade around beating his chest saying he won?”

It’s all a farce.

Trump got played…

The tariff border deal announced by Trump yesterday is the same deal Canada already agreed to w/the Biden-Harris administration. Trump just repackaged it & tried to call it a win.

📌Dec 2024, Canada announced C$1.3 billion ($900 million) in measures to disrupt the fentanyl trade.

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority.

He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans.

Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

Here’s what’s on the table:

Cutting funding for nursing homes.

Slashing health coverage.

Taking money out of the pockets of parents.

All so the GOP can hand more tax breaks to the ultra-rich.

A menu of options being circulated by congressional Republicans also includes new tax cuts for corporations and the ultrawealthy.

The Trump Tariffs are ILLEGAL.

He does NOT have the unilateral authority to amend trade agreements with Canada and Mexico.

He needs Congressional approval -- and he does NOT have it.

The tariffs should be challenged in court -- and overruled by Congress. NOW.
