Make no mistake. The Oklahoma #abortion ban is a Christian fascist bridge between #SB8 in Texas & the expected overturning of Roe v. Wade later this spring. This is not just any abortion ban. A thread.
Besides its extreme viciousness, this ban closes off one avenue of relief for women in Texas, who have fled the state to seek abortions in neighboring states. Think about how the Fugitive Slave Act attacked the means of enslaved people to reach safety.
These #SB8 copycat laws, each state trying to outdo the other in its violent subjugation of women, are designed to do no less. And these Christian fascists will not stop. They will figure out every workaround & criminalize them even more viciously.
They are already coming after the abortion pill, abortion funds, and criminalizing travel out of state. Think about how much worse this will be if we do not flood the streets and stop this. Think about how much worse it will be if we allow Roe to fall.
This isn't some GOP election strategy. The GOP has become the party of fascists aiming to remaking all of society and government. Where women, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and everyone they hate have NO RIGHTS that they have to respect.
We join @riseup4abortion to stop this fascist juggernaut of abortion bans completely connected to #SCOTUS poised to overturn Roe. The time to stop this is NOW, not after we have sat back & allowed Roe to fall. riseup4abortionrights.org
Take inspiration from the women in Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico. April 8th, wear #green4abortion everywhere.
April 9th. Get in the streets. Show where you stand. Choosing to stay home IS choosing the violent subjugation of half of humanity. Forced Motherhood = Female Enslavement. Abortion on Demand and Without Apology! riseup4abortionrights.org/april-8-and-9/…

🧵 One year ago, we saw Donald Trump call forth and unleash fascist mobs to storm the U.S. Capitol. This was a violent coup attempt – the culmination of a rolling coup Trump had been announcing and carrying out for months.
While it failed in the immediate sense…1/
#January6th became a dress rehearsal & rallying cry to further harden a now battle-tested fascist movement and Republi-fascist party. 2/
This vicious coup attempt morphed into a comprehensive strategy of election subversion & voter suppression, while Trump’s loyal mobs, to this day, continue to storm the public square with threats of violence and terror. 3/
THREAD on why we must PROTEST Federal Crackdown on Portland!
NO MORE POLICE MURDER of BLACK PEOPLE
NO FASCIST POLICE STATE
NO FASCIST MILITARY WAR on the PEOPLE
NO FEDERAL AGENTS SWEEPING up PROTESTERS
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW! #PortlandKidnappings#TrumpPenceOutNow 1/ 14
This week, in an ominous escalation of fascism, the Trump/Pence regime sent federal troops from multiple agencies to storm the streets of Portland, Oregon and crush ongoing protests. #PortlandKidnappings 2/14
Dressed in camouflage with no identifying insignia, agents rolled up in unmarked vans, arrested people without telling them where they were going or why they were being taken into custody, deployed tear gas & shot 1 non-violent protester in the face.#PortlandKidnappings 3/14
Y’all wanna refuse to accept a fascist America? Here’s a thread from our new Statement of Conscience. #TrumpPenceOutNow#OutNow
Silent No More, We Say:
The hour is late. For over three years, the Trump/Pence regime has brought an unrelenting barrage of insult, injury, and atrocity, with catastrophic consequences for all humanity. #TrumpPenceOutNow
There are times in history when a people must reach deep into their collective conscience and act with unprecedented moral courage to stop the crimes of their government.
It’s not “craziness” when Trump talks about an upcoming Civil War. It’s fascism. Past time to take him seriously: almost 3 years of evidence from concentration camps along the border to a Muslim ban to an emboldened & deadly white supremacist movement. (THREAD). #CivilWar2
This Regime makes a mockery of truth, they are foreclosing the right to dissent, and they trample over the rule of law. They have been relentless — and they aim for a full clampdown. Trump and Pence will not give up and neither will the millions who support the fascist program.
The fascists have their people in the courts and even if the courts should rule against them, they may well defy the courts. And if Trump IS able to stay, he will almost certainly not only take revenge but try to make a further huge leap toward all-out fascism. #CivilWar2
