BREAKING NEWS: ICE is already attempting to raid ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

Today, in Chicago, ICE showed up at Hamline Elementary School. Luckily, the school followed Chicago Public School protocols, and did not allow ICE in the school, or access to the children or staff.

I can only imagine how terrified the students, staff, and parents were, especially after all the news of ICE detaining US citizens.

This should never be allowed. Period.

What happened to protecting our children?!? How long until Trump forces schools to give access to ICE agents or he will cut funding? This is not ok!

Wow. Every “pro-life” argument was just demolished in this report on how abortion bans have endangered the lives of patients…

It is the most comprehensive research to date, and concluded that “Louisiana's ban is impeding a federal law that regulates the provision of emergency health care, and is infringing on reproductive and human rights.”

So, let me share some of what the report found… 🧵 “The U.S. is facing a human rights crisis in maternal health. For every person who dies from a pregnancy-related cause in the country, about 100 more women will experience maternal morbidity—a life-threatening pregnancy complication.”

When it comes to performing abortions, many are forced to perform c-sections instead of a d&c… “One emergency medicine physician recounted a situation where a colleague performed a c-section on a patient with PPROM at 20 weeks’ gestation, a condition that would not result in a viable pregnancy:
She ended up having to take this person for c-section to preserve the appearance of not doing an abortion, even though this is not a viable pregnancy. What that means is now this person has had a c-section, right? And that means that she’s at higher risk for any future pregnancies. She can no longer deliver vaginally ... [T]he appropriate thing to do, again would be a D&E ... without subjecting the patient to this unnecessary abdominal surgery. But my colleague didn’t feel like she could do that while remaining in compliance with the law or appearing to remain in compliance with the law.”

Hey Chicago, I found who allowed Scientology to have an illegal “street festival” in downtown Chicago… meet @BobFiorettiChi. Bob said, “helping Scientology navigate the city bureaucracy to open the site was no different than what he’d provide for any other faith group.” 🧵 So Bob here, apparently, help Scientology obtain a permit, that was for PUBLIC events, though theirs was PRIVATE. Scientology shut down the public way from pedestrians, which is illegal… & they also shut it down FOR DAYS, which went directly against their permit.

I’ve had 2 miscarriages in a row. That only happens to 1% of people, & had a d&c for one of them. Women are being denied access to d&cs & their lives are being put in jeopardy bc of it. I am also VERY ADHD & have to take meds during future pregnancies. 🧵 Republicans are planning to ban abortions for everyone & will also convict women for having miscarriages,especially when taking meds. This means, not only does a Republican win threaten my life, it would also put me at risk of being arrested just for having another miscarriage.

I decided, for funsies, to read project 2025…it’s started off strong with them wanting to delete terms like gender, diversity, abortion, reproductive health & rights “out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, & piece of legislation that exists.” This sentence threw me for a loop… not sure how being transgender is pornography… but the rest of the paragraph is saying what we have all been warning… they are trying to make it illegal for trans people to exist… there was also A LOT of anti-trans regulation throughout.

If you are wondering, “How is it racism if the cops were black?” This is the thread for you! 🧵 A few years ago, I took it upon myself to become more educated about the history of systemic racism. What I learned was, when slavery was abolished, systems were put in place to make it so black ppl were forced back into slavery if they weren’t employed & didn’t have housing.

BREAKING NEWS: Republicans are starting a war on musicals. According to this bill, no performance is allowed if it can be viewed by a child & has a drag performer. That’s right, no musicals such as, hairspray, RENT, Peter Pan, etc are allowed. @albinokid azleg.gov/legtext/56leg/… This is what happens when you play stupid games and elect theocratic authoritarians. They ban art from the general public.
