BREAKING: 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is requiring that mifepristone be distributed only in person at clinics—citing safety as a major reason.

Since 2000 Mifepristone has allegedly caused the death of 28 women
•GOP: We must permanently ban this dangerous drug!

Viagra has at least a 10X greater fatality rate than doe’s Mifepristone
•GOP: We can’t just ban Viagra!

GOP was never pro life—they’ve always been pro control of women

A friendly reminder that the people who:
•banned Black people from reparations, schools, military, GI bill, & FHA loans
•who lynched & are now locking Latinos into putrid concentration camps
•who locked Japanese people into camps & banned all Asian immigration
•who broke every single treaty with Native Americans while committing genocide
•And who are now gutting laws that helped counter that harm & passing laws to ban teaching that history...

They want you to stop making everything about race.😐

The "SAVE" Act was to limit women voters.

Gutting the Voting Rights Act is to limit Black voters.

Since Shelby, 100K+ polling locations have been closed in predominantly Black, Latino, & low income areas to limit non-white & low income voters.

Jim Crow America never actually ended—it morphed into new forms of restrictions that pretend to be race, gender, & economically neutral.

In reality it’s the same fascism, just a new hood.

BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla reports that last night Israeli naval forces intercepted, boarded, and disabled and destroyed various boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in a violent raid in international waters.

They attacked 180 civilians, illegally detained and kidnapped several participants, jammed communications, and smashed an engine, leaving civilians stranded on powerless vessels.

These are international crimes. The sustained Global silence from world leaders is indefensible.

My sources are telling me that the IDF is actively engaging and attacking civilian flotillas trying to get aid to Gaza.

Yet another violation of the ceasefire. Yet another violation of international law. Yet another act by the Israeli government that the United States and Europe will likely ignore while lecturing everyone on human rights. smh

This SCOTUS rulings so far
•Universities using race criteria to counter historical racism in admissions is unconstitutional, BUT
•ICE fascists using race criteria to target people of color is constitutional, BUT
•State legislatures using race criteria to counter historical voter suppression is unconstitutional, BUT
•Trump using race criteria to enact travel bans is constitutional

In short—race criteria that centers white people is constitutional, but race criteria otherwise is unconstitutional😐

I’m getting angry messages from Republicans trying to justify why TX gerrymandering was “constitutional” but CA and VA are not.

I have one word for you lot: COPE

Under Biden, HR1 would have banned partisan gerrymandering and ensured fair maps for all. Dems unanimously voted for it. MAGAs unanimously voted against it. Now you’re mad because you got beat at your own game. It’s about time Dems grew a spine. We need more of this to save our democracy from fascism. And again, for MAGAs upset: COPE

The man who allegedly attacked Trump wrote in his manifesto that he is a Christian and believes his actions are the Christian thing to do.

I've heard no one in corporate media ask these questions:
•Where was he radicalized?
•What church did he attend?
•Who was his pastor or minister?
•Why didn't his Church community report him?

These questions sound ridiculous, right? They are. Remember that next time they try to demonize all Muslims or all immigrants for one person's actions.

This is horrifying and barely getting media coverage.

Trump set April 30 as a deadline for the Zambian Govt. They must either accept Trump's new health funding agreement to have access to critical AIDS meds—and thus give the USA expanded access to its precious mineral resources like copper, lithium, and cobalt—or let its citizens die due to lack of vital AIDS medications.

Zambia is 98% Christian. Christians will die as a result of Trump's extortion. Notice how MAGA is wholly silent? Barbaric.
