Sorry, I have to scream this for a second but; WE TOLD YOU. Every single reproductive rights person has been trying to warn EVERYONE about this exact scenario for decades. They don't just want to ban abortion they want to decide who does and doesn't give birth.

🧵 So my darlings, here's a little story about the importance of preventative health. Spoiler: I'm fine. I'm going to be just fine. I mean. Most likely. But one thing I know for absolutely certain, if I had delayed taking action by a year, or even six months, this would be a VASTLY different story.

I’m surprised by how little attention this case has gotten. Even I didn’t really register it for a while. This entire family of three permanent residents were summarily detained without even the option of bond, all as collective punishment for one one of them being the son of an Iranian official

I find myself thinking about this a lot.
Weird thing about the "birth tourist" comment in Alito's opinion. I was listening to NPR's live coverage of the SCOTUS rulings and at least two people on air said birth tourism is real and does happen all the time. I was, uh, taken aback.

I personally find arguments much more persuasive when they are presented as a meme, with no cited source. even better if there's a picture of abraham lincoln or something.

June 28: Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. July 24: European diamonds got their exemption from Trump’s tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like cartoonish corruption.
