I wrote about how the media is failing covering roe in ⁦@TheAtlantic⁩ newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/61af…

"In late August I was talking to a smart liberal lawyer friend on the phone and I said, “I’m really worried about this Texas bill S.B. 8.”

“No way they’ll let it go into effect,” she replied. I was heartened by her words."

Much of the coverage that’s not outright cynical is also failing to meet the moment. The NY Times published a map that shows a “predicted decline in legal abortions.” Antiseptic language like that does not serve the reader.

American women have had the right to end a pregnancy since 1973. We don’t know what this country will look like without Roe. There are statistics from the decades before the ’70s

It’s been 632 days since the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic. March 11, 2020, was the date, but I knew our lives weren’t going to be normal for a very long time as soon.....

“Mississippi’s case is the greatest threat to abortion rights and puts women’s health and lives on the line, with women of color and Latinas suffering the most. The need to protect women’s right to abortion has never been clearer." @RepSylviaGarcia

Texas law doesn't allow for abortion in the case of rape or incest-leading Dr. Ingrid Skop of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists to defend forcing a (hypothetical) 9-year-old to carry and deliver her rapist’s child.

I wrote about Republicans canceling culture in @TheAtlantic

newsletters.theatlantic.com/wait-what/6194…

"Now that Republicans are stoking a new moral panic over critical race theory, they’re using more and more books and movies as bait in their ever-evolving culture war."

"And in a move that may have achieved peak irony, a Kansas school district is removing—they’re careful to not say “banning”—The Handmaid’s Tale, a novel about a dystopia where books are banned."

And @gtconway3d told me, "White-collar criminal cases take time to put together, and prosecutors are being careful. At least that's what I hope is going on."

I forgot what a liar Sean Spicer is. Watching @billmaher

@billmaher

“I know this kind of stuff doesn’t mean a lot to you but he’s lifted at a lot of children out of poverty,” @billmaher to Sean Spicer

Sean Spicer is now lying about the 2020 election
