Even for the @nytimes, this an all-time manipulation of passive voice to describe the NYPD potentially killing a student protester. The “ gunshot had been fired” “the gun fired” “the bullet ended up in the wall.”
Congratulations, @WyoJudyShepard! And thank you for all you have done. Matthew would be so proud. hrc.org/press-releases…

Trump wants to "monitor women's pregnancies" to arrest them if they seek abortions, while Kristi Noem thinks 10-year-old rape victims should be forced to give birth, or be jailed. This is the mainstream Republican Party, where cruelty is the platform
If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents. Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety. A nightmare in the making. I urge the Mayor to reverse course.

Call me crazy but I don't think people who shoot their dog or say they could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue should be President or VP.
We’re pressing Navient to cancel these decades-old predatory student loans for borrowers who attended fraudulent, for-profit colleges. I’ll keep working to hold scammers accountable and deliver relief to people who got cheated. news.yahoo.com/elizabeth-warr…
#SCOTUS just heard a case on presidential immunity. We shouldn’t be here, but since we are, it’s quite clear what we need to do…
It should be evident to anyone who actually watched the State of the Union, the Howard Stern interview, or the Correspondents dinner speech that Joe Biden is sharp as a tack, quick witted, kindhearted, and genuinely funny. That works for me.

INTERVIEW: Lessons in kindness from @SuffsMusical star and new mom @JennColella theatermania.com/news/interview…
Allowing members of Congress who were part of Trump’s armed insurrection to remain in Congress is about as insane as allowing terrorists to return to work in the same building they tried to blow up.
We are closely watching the current protests on college campuses across the state. The freedom to protest without retribution is essential to our democracy. Government censorship is not the answer. aclufl.org/en/press-relea…

After November, we face two paths. If Trump wins, extremists will come for abortion rights in every state. But if we re-elect President Biden with a Democratic Congress, we can ensure reproductive freedom across the country. We have to stay in the fight, and we have to win.…
Donald Trump had stacked the Supreme Court to overturn Roe, and they were delivering. I’m still angry, and I’m still determined to fight back. So are millions of Americans. In the past two years, abortion rights have won every time they’ve been on the ballot.
Two years ago tonight, I was on the phone with my daughter when we got the news: a draft Supreme Court opinion had leaked, and it would overturn Roe. “Oh, my God. Oh, no, no, no,” she said. It felt like a full-body smack from the top of your head all the way down to your toes.
GOOD: A federal judge struck down a 2017 Indiana abortion law for violating the First Amendment. The law prohibited healthcare providers from informing young people that they could obtain an abortion in another state where parental consent isn't required. aclu-in.org/en/press-relea…

@BlackKnight10k "And on the third day, Jesus rose, having been given a free Scandinavian makeover. Glory!"
Remember how you felt, two years ago today, when the news came out that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe and set back women’s rights by generations? The man responsible is on the ballot again in November. Vote accordingly.
Trump wants to "monitor women's pregnancies" to arrest them if they seek abortions, while Kristi Noem thinks 10-year-old rape victims should be forced to give birth, or be jailed. This is the mainstream Republican Party, where cruelty is the platform
I have a hard time getting rid of books. I could donate them, but never throw them away. Would you be able to throw away a book? thewalrus.ca/yes-its-okay-t…
Today, a near-total abortion ban went into effect in Florida. It restricts reproductive care for millions of women, before many even know they are pregnant. This is cruel. We can’t stop until Roe is codified into law.
I would happily recommend this show to people who want to have a good time at a musical. Not just would: I DO recommend it, and happily. And I AM happy right now, because it made me happy. End of thread.
