Almost every woman I know thatβs had an abortion, including myself, wanted it, and felt tremendous relief once it was done.
My abortion was the key to getting my education and gaining economic stability. It gave me freedom, and allowed me to escape the cycle of poverty.

The poverty rate soared for families headed by single mothers last year
The rate for single-father households increased as well β but by a much smaller amount.
20 states force women to give birth.
No paid family leave.
No universal healthcare.
No universal childcare.
No pay equity laws.
Expired Child Tax Credits.
Allowing poverty rates to soar for families headed by single mothers is a choice.

βWe canβt criminalize everyoneβ: Jamaal Bowman floats a progressive response to campus antisem...
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York progressive, is sending a letter to the Biden administration calling for education around antisemitism.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman is rolling up his sleeves to work to combat antisemitism, and all kinds of hate πͺπ½
This is exactly the approach we advocate for & practice:
-education
-support
-cross-cultural relationships
-restorative justice
-fighting misinformation
-protecting civil rights.

Fuck no. No hate, no racism, no anti-LGTBQ bullshit, no misogyny, and no Nazis.
Freedom of speech isnβt a freedom to spread hate and hate propaganda. Thatβs not censorship, thatβs moderating a healthy, respectful community.
Thatβs not negotiable.
