As one who received death threats from anti-abortion groups while I was visibly pregnant (!) and appearing at a Kansas Planned Parenthood event just months before Dr Tiller’s murder, I unequivocally reject Trump’s incendiary lies to criminalize abortion and endanger providers.
Back then there were constant attacks on Dr Tiller by FoxNews. Providers spoke of guards and bulletproof vests.

I asked “why are anti-choicers targeting ME - im having my baby - the choice *they* want.”

But my choice didn’t stop their hate - they wanted control not choice.
So when Donald Trump echoes these vile and inflammatory LIES about difficult, personal medical decisions, know that he’s never going to applaud the choice to have the child. He will insist on control. And we have to reject the lies - and politicians’ control over women’s bodies.

TBH the most important video about climate came from the head of a union talking about immediate impact on workers.

As the author of a DNC #GreenNewDeal & fossil fuel ban A YEAR AGO, I can tell you both of them failed in large part due to these concerns. thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…
Should Senator Feinstein have been more diplomatic with the GND kids before offering one an internship rather than arguing? Absolutely. When I got married the advice to me was Dear Abby said when in-laws lecture you say “you’ve given me a lot to think about.” Diplomacy helps.
Thst said, I’m telling you the path forward on climate action is to LISTEN. The UN report says irreversible damage in 12 years. Some workers say the Green New Deal transition eviscerates their livelihoods in 2-5 years. So they need to come TOGETHER and LISTEN to each other.

FACT: Trump's campaign manager Manafort shared confidential polling data with an oligarch closely tied to Russia’s Putin.

TRUMP ENABLER: Manafort knew the guy so it’s not “deliberate contact.”

FACT: If you call someone you know it’s “deliberate contact.”

#MuellerIsComing
Any campaign manager knows what to do with polls:
1. Keep poll data within the campaign
2. Share with stakeholders and donors
3. Make public

Manafort did #2 - so was his Russian contact a stakeholder or a donor? What did Manafort think his guy would do with the secret info?
Let’s get directly to the WHY:

WHY did Manafort share secret Trump campaign poling info with Russia?

WHY share with Russians and not, for example, make public so other Republicans could have operationalized the data?

WHY - did he except something in return from Russia?

Outtakes from the #DNC Executive Meeting in #PuertoRico (thread)

Chair promises a 2020 process that is fair. Will release a protocol on debates soon; expect debates in summer 2019 . Will decide by March 2019 the Host City for 2020 Convention: Houston, Miami Beach, or Milwaukee.
We have worked hard to rebuild trust on our presidential process. Rules and Bylaws Cttee working with early states on rules. A key rule change ends superdelegates voting 1st round absent consensus candidate BUT elected officials can still be PLEOs & not run against constituents.
The PLEO Party Leader Elected Official designation is for pledged delegates who are Members of Congress Governors etc who want a first round #DNC convention vote but don’t want to run against activist to get there.

Franchise Tax Board v Hyatt is the sleeper abortion case you have not heard about. Because, of course, it is not about #abortion.

But the decision - and HOW it is reached - is going to determine how the incoming wave of abortion cases are going to be resolved.

thread:
/1
The FTB case came from a tax dispute. A former resident of California sued the California Franchise Tax Board in a Nevada state court, claiming that it had done him all manner of wrongs in investigating his purported tax liability.
/2
California does not want to be sued in another state’s courts. The current law, decades old, allows such suits.

The case has nothing to do with abortion, but everything to do with how to overturn precedent.

45 years ago today, delegates arrived at the Capital Hilton hotel in Washington DC for Day One of the 7th annual World Anti-Communist League (WACL) conference, the first to be hosted in the United States. #thread
A few months before Richard Nixon resigned, the President's Deputy Special Assistant, Burce Herschensohn, delivered the keynote address at WACL-7. Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) co-chaired the conference with Congressmen Phil Crane (R-IL) and Clement Zablocki (D-WI).
The event was officially hosted by the American Council for World Freedom (ACWF), which had just elected Phyllis Schlafly's husband its new president. As an important member of the ACWF, Lev Dobriansky had a substantial role in organizing the conference.

@girlsreallyrule Let this sink in, and everything else will make sense: Race, NOT #abortion was the FOUNDING issue of the religious right.

@girlsreallyrule “In 1971, two years before Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, the biggest white evangelical group in America, the Southern Baptist Convention, supported its legalization. The group continued that support through much of the 1970s. “
@girlsreallyrule And the late Jerry Falwell, founder of the Moral Majority, did not give his first antiabortion speech until 1978, five years after Roe.

1. I criticize Saudi Arabia all the time including on global platforms
2. My main audience are in Saudi Arabia (top four out of three cities)
3. In my work, I channel many Saudi voices who cannot speak out on their own
4. If the Saudi regime has a hit list, I'm on it
5. I've been targeted before by the Saudi regime's staunchest ally, the UAE
6. I'm stateless, so targeting me has minimum sovereign repercussions
7. In the quoted tweet below, senior adviser to MBS says "the assassinations file is reopened"
8. I've also received credible death threats from ISIS
9. I have pissed off just about every dictator and terrorist in town
10. If I'm killed, nobody will know who did it

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/
