They’ll say that it was abortion rights activists who killed Walker—claiming that we've scared doctors out of providing life-saving care.

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:
They’ll claim doctors were legally allowed to “intervene” or “treat” Tierra Walker with "care." They won't say she could have had an abortion because they don’t believe in life-saving abortions

For me, Trump’s unhinged and savage use of the epithet “Piggy” triggered a middle school memory of reading Lord of the Flies in which a sane, rational, and sickly character named Piggy with whom I identified is murdered by a mob of angry brutalizing boys.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division was created to protect the rights of the politically disempowered. Under the leadership of Harmeet K. Dhillon, a lawyer and MAGA-world star, the division is pivoting to knocking down gun restrictions.

Michiganders are sharing their health insurance premiums increases with me… not 10% or 20%, but in one example - $200/month to $2900/month.
Republicans have tried to kill the ACA more than 70 times since 2010, and have never once had a plan for anything better.
