Georgia forcing the family of a brain dead Black woman to pay for her to remain on life support so the state can gestate her fetus is why we need pro-birth accountability laws that force a state to pay for all costs attending a forced birth. www.11alive.com/article/news...

This new #ExecutiveOrder is not just about disenfranchisement - it threatens birthright citizenship. The order does NOT indicate that birth certificates are among accepted documents to prove citizenship.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

It also signaled it could seek to back out of Biden-era agreements with police departments that engaged in discrimination or violence.

Election Day has long passed. In states like NC, legislatures are working to undermine the results
Voters in some parts of the country are discovering that having their say at the ballot box is not necessarily the final word, even though this year's election was over a month ago.

I want to encourage more people to take a beat. Take a beat when you have those big activated feelings. Responding in the moment comes from a sense of urgency, a rush to be "right". It also has your response coming from primary emotions, which are often shields from your secondary emotions.
