I do not own a gun and detest guns.

I abhor and condemn violence.

I believe the Second Amendment of the Constitution has been intentionally perverted by Right-leaning Americans to justify an unhealthy adoration of weapons.

What I saw Thursday was the culmination of ICE’s aggressive behavior.

For years, crisis pregnancy centers have been at the forefront of the anti-abortion movement’s agenda to target women navigating unplanned pregnancies.

Now, the state's reproductive rights advocates are flipping the script and have opened Arkansas's first pro-choice "crisis pregnancy center.”
Anti-abortion playbook, flipped: Arkansas abortion fund opens its own "crisis pregnancy center"
The dismantling of Roe v. Wade has prompted new approaches to what it means to be pro-choice.

Republicans show their true colors behind closed doors.  

Medicaid is a lifeline for families, but that isn’t stopping Republicans in Congress from marching full steam ahead to pass the largest cut to the program in history.

“Habeas corpus is the legal principle that requires the government to provide a public reason for detaining and imprisoning people. If not for that protection, the government could simply arrest people, including American citizens, and hold them indefinitely for no reason.”
Does Kristi Noem even know what habeas corpus is?
The Homeland Security secretary's word salad raised even more questions about the administration's assault on fundamental rights.
