.@AyannaPressley: Pro-life laws hurt “our lowest income sisters, our queer, trans and nonbinary siblings; black, Latinx, AAPI, immigrants, disabled & indigenous folks. And none of this is happenstance ... These bans are rooted in a patriarchy and white supremacy."
.@GloriaSteinem: You know, Hitler's first official act was banning abortion
@GloriaSteinem .@RepSpeier: “Abortion is safer than childbirth”
@GloriaSteinem @RepSpeier Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi: “Abortion is a blessing; abortion is an act of love; abortion is freedom”
Abortion activist Maleeha Aziz: Prohibiting taxpayer funding for abortion is "classist" and "racist" ... "it fills me with rage"
Rep. @RoKhanna: “Unpatriotic” for people to create the “false impression” that Margaret Sanger had racist motivations

Thread: Things I find while randomly scanning Democrats’ latest $3.5 trillion spending bill

1) $15 million to Older American Act (OAA) resource centers for people "who are underserved due to their sexual orientation or gender identity”
2) A provision amending ObamaCare so as to boost outreach to “sexual minorities” and people who don’t speak English
3) $24 million in rent support for victims of "stalking" and "dating violence"

CNN’s @brianstelter: How should the “reality-based media” like CNN cover Republicans?

Yale Prof. Timothy Snyder: "My advice for the press corps is to drop the 'fair and balanced'” approach
@brianstelter WaPo’s @crampell: Media focusing too much on the pricetag of Dems’ $3.5T bill: “The bill itself will not cost $3.5T in the sense it will be entirely, or at least partly, paid for. So the actual cost will be smaller than that, perhaps zero, although I think that’s unlikely"
@brianstelter @crampell Stelter to @nhannahjones on school districts banning the #1619Project curriculum: “Is this just the ‘whitelash' in another form, Nikole? Some white Americans afraid to deal with reality?”

Then we learned it happens all the time. 

They told us a snooty Catholic student tormented a Native American

Then we learned it was the other way around
They told us Michael Avenatti was a warrior for justice

Then we learned he's a serial felon who exploits vulnerable clients

THREAD: It wasn’t only Twitter & Facebook that were trying to throw the election through their manipulation of information. Dozens of blue check progressives circulated fake news that the Hunter story was “disinformation.” These people should be shamed. 1)
