As the #AZLeg is poised to pass a 15-week Mississippi-style abortion ban, I just want to remind everyone that this isn’t only about abortion.
So, hear me out…
Over the past few years, I’ve been asked by PP supporters why we can’t simply stay in our abortion rights lane. I got this question a lot after we took a stand on police money in elections.
Y'all know my policy about defending white folks from accusations of racism. I don't do it. I'm not about to start now. @katiehobbs is a grown up and an elected leader, so she doesn't need me or anyone to defend her. And, THIS is the apology she should've made the first time.
I know Katie and Talonya, and I can confidently say that my friend Katie harmed Talonya and I'm glad she's taking responsibility. I also believe Talonya doesn't owe Katie the favor of accepting this or any apology. She is hurt and she deserves to honor her feelings.

Use whatever you want, but you’re always losing when you refuse to be inclusive. And don’t even get me started on the “rich white progressive” nonsense. Isn’t that your fan base? Or do you hop on tables for the Black folks?
And folks who don’t know the difference between Hispanic and Latina/o, or why Latinx is a thing, watch this and re-examine your life.

Today has been pretty awesome! I got to “square off” with AZ’s biggest abortion foe AND my very 1st horror podcast appearance dropped. I’m not quite sure which one makes me feel more badass, but y’all should enjoy them both.
Watch me go head-to-head with Cathi Herrod on Sunday Square Off, AZ’s Sunday morning political show. Be sure to watch all 3 segments.
ICYMI: I appeared on #SundaySquareOff with Cathi Herrod. For the uninitiated, Cathi is AZ’s “Aunt Lydia.” She runs an evangelical org that produces many of AZ’s most bigoted bills and she’s the state’s most well-known anti-abortion advocate. Part 1.
Part 2.

Greetings from quarantine, friends! I’ve been EXPOSED!
Let’s chat a second about why ALL schools need to implement mask requirements now. A 🧵.
The 7yo has been able to play with her BFF throughout the pandemic. Why? Because her parents were taking the same precautions as ours. They masked in public. They vaccinated. They were cautious. Plus, they’re just lovely people with good sense.

Y'all know that I count Kyrsten as a friend and because of that, I don't often call her out publicly, though she's aware of my opinions. Today, I'm moved to say after reading this that she's dead wrong. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
I think we all know that her view of the filibuster, and more largely, bipartisan compromise, are fiction. Bipartisanship requires that both parties come to the table as honest brokers. Republicans have made it abundantly clear that they are not interested.

SB 1457, the invasive and insidious anti-abortion bill was amended and passed the House and will be up for a vote on the Senate floor, likely on Monday. If 1457 is not stopped now, it goes to the governor’s desk to be signed into law.
SB 1457 makes sound science and medical treatments illegal. Doctors and patients become felons. It bans abortion based on fetal anomaly diagnosis and disability status. In reality, there are so many toxic layers to this bill that it’s still unclear as to everything it undermines.

Did y’all know there were 2 movies in 2020 where the plot involved a pregnant Black woman being held captive by crazy white ladies? Well, now you do. I’m watching Delivered on Hulu! hulu.com/movie/2c4fca1a…
The other was Kindred, which is also on Hulu. I watched it in January. It was good.

This April 1 is definitely filled with fools. Find them all down at the #AZLeg on the R side. They’re busy voting no on mask mandates because autonomy/freedom, while criminalizing abortion because autonomy & freedom don’t count for pregnant hussies or something like that?
Special shout out to Walt Blackman, who spoke on behalf of “the Black community.” Which Black community? Must be the one located in The Sunken Place.
