Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion Abortion *is* a big tent issue

THIS 💯 👉Ezra Klein is Wrong About Abortion

Just a reminder—any attempt to cut off access to mifepristone ignores science, medicine, and what’s best for reproductive health, according to EVERY reputable expert on the subject.

Two words to brighten your day: Strands Archive. Thanks @nytimes.com! What took you so long?

Thank you! This one drives me almost as nuts as “lead” when what’s wanted is “led”

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Somewhere in the US there’s a guy named Edmund who gave MY cell number instead of his to some candidate and now I’m getting tons of random candidate texts with a friendly “Hey Edmund” asking for money. I mean, ok Edmund, we obvi have similar politics, but really, dude? #NGPVANfail

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

If you aren’t willing to publicly defend the principle of academic freedom, and the broad social value of open inquiry, you really have no business being a college or university president in a free society.

It's time to stop calling it the Trump
“administration" and call it what it is: a regime. You know, like "authoritarian regime" and "fascist regime." Labels matter.
Let's get this one right. @bcdreyer.social @meidastouch.com

Dear Sen. #Schumer,
No, I will not donate to the DSCC. The committee is already bankrupt, apparently. And while I’m no fan of Putin, his words to Trump, “this may be the right approach, but we have certain conditions” is EXACTLY what we were begging you to say to this horrific CR. Shame on you.

A short, clear primer on the politics of spending bills and what Democrats will lose (yup, there’s still stuff to lose) if they cave on the Republican Continuing Resolution.

This 007 tribute is…goofy. Back to the awards please? #oscars

Thank you so much for recommending Flow, Ty. Loved it and so excited it won!

Why is anyone still asking “are we in a constitutional crisis?”

My only question is why there is no emoji of the Constitution being put through a paper shredder.

Dear Apple, The new iOS 18 Mail interface is awful, annoying (a blinking inbox just because I have unread messages?!??? 😡), and the individual email icons are misapplied yet there is no way to manually re-assign them. Almost ready to go Android after this one. Ugh.

It is astonishing that mainstream media is covering this like it is a shruggie vibe 🤷‍♂️

No question that was an earthquake, Boston. 😳 Reports are 4.1, originating somewhere in Maine.

The best thing about single-digit temps is that they make 32° feel like spring.🌷 #brightsideoflife

Brave yourselves for more of the like.

"One day, our children and grandchildren may ask us, 'When it was all on the line, what did you do?' And the only acceptable answer is, everything we could.” — Cecile Richards

A screenshot of a tweet by Melanie D'Arrigo with the text: "Two Republican men introduced H. Res. 7. It states that women's healthcare should 'address the needs of men... as they relate to women’s health care' and aims to make the practices of an anti-abortion clinic the national standard. Project 2025 in action." Below the tweet is a highlighted excerpt from the resolution, emphasizing the phrase "address the needs of men, families, and communities as they relate to women’s health care."

Pay attention to the language they use. It reveals their true intent.

Seems important to shout out Biden and last term’s Dem-majority Senate for digging deep and confirming a record number of judges to build a section of these guardrails we will need to resist and defend.
