My interest level in watching Biden and Bernie yell at each other as our country is shut down and coronavirus infections are soaring and the economy is tanking and Trump is saying he has “tremendous control” over the situation. It’s time to move on to the general election folks.
Are we arguing about sausage making in the Senate before a significant portion of our voters were born? Make it stop!!! #DemDebate
STOP YELLING AT EACH OTHER!

We’re in a coronavirus crisis. Times have changed. #DemDebate

Abortion rights folks had been trying to warn you for so long. Because society failed to take the anti-abortion movement (a totalitarian movement) seriously, now it's everyone's problem. Let's settle in for a chat about anti-abortion fake clinics, also now everyone's problem. 🧵
Anti-abortion fake clinics exist to mislead and shame people seeking abortion care. They also form the backbone of the anti-abortion movement's power. Don't be fooled into thinking these are grassrootsy efforts. They are not. (More on that later.)
Anti-abortion fake clinics are often called crisis pregnancy centers, or pregnancy resource centers. Some also call them fake women's health centers or anti-abortion centers. They often choose deceptive names like "A Woman's Choice" to make themselves seem like abortion providers

The struggle for abortion rights and for racial justice are deeply interconnected. I would like more white people who are interested in abortion rights to deepen their racial justice analysis for the abortion issue specifically.
Controlling gender and sexuality + reproductive oppression operate in service of white supremacy by working to increase the supply of white babies. It is also intentional that the people most hurt by this "pro-life" approach are people of color, especially Black women.
In fact, the modern anti-abortion movement as we know it exists because right-wing operatives were looking to pivot from segregationism as their wedge issue as it fell out of favor in the early '70s.

There are two things happening at once with regards to the role and prominence of overt anti-abortion hatred in right-wing politics, and it's important to pay attention. This will have broad-reaching implications for the longterm politics of abortion. (THREAD)
FIRST: It has long been the case that Republicans who want higher office bend over backward to be the biggest, loudest, most cruel anti-abortion leaders they can be. One example is South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who absolutely wants to be president. abcnews.go.com/Health/wireSto…
SECOND: Right-wing groups who are trying to win elections for a variety of candidates more broadly know the expected actions of the Supreme Court on abortion are unpopular and a losing strategy. This, I believe, is why CPAC is not hosting a single panel on abortion this fall.

This is the perennial story about women in power — Senators, CEOs, non-profit leaders, editors, and now, vice presidents. Women are presented as too weak, too strong, too indecisive, too bullying. It serves to push out the good women leaders we have, and intimidate rising women.
In particular, this odious statement from someone too cowardly to use their own name is so sexist and racist I’m going to spell it out in detail:
1) “refuse” relies on racist and sexist tropes against Black women who are presented as non-compliant

There is no such thing as a pro-life feminist. And thank you, I majored in Women's Studies and was literally a national officer for the National Organization for Women.

None of this is surprising. Sending people to jail is and has always been the #BigProLife agenda. THREAD:
When a would-be justice asserts "life begins" at fertilization they are arguing for Constitutional personhood, a term that makes abortion and birth control illegal. It means even the potential of pregnancy has more constitutional rights that the actual people who can be pregnant.
Tbh, however, #BigProLife is not actually obsessed with the law but rather what they can use the law to get away with. Provisions to send abortion providers to jail are routinely written into anti-abortion laws.
