Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned.
This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov.
We must keep fighting for women’s rights.
the reason to explain that elon musk gave a nazi salute isn’t because it will win votes. the reason to do it is because elon musk gave a nazi salute at a presidential inauguration and that should be in the public record

Boom.
“We’re going to see more attacks on providers.”
I wrote about new efforts to restrict abortion — especially in Texas, where it is already illegal, and whose legislative session began this week.

One edit to the TikTok ban: Please just let us have Ruth Codd. You can kill the rest of the app, but leave her be.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and it won’t be so bad.

A very sleepy dog sleeps next to the front door, totally unbothered
The puppy curls up on one of her THREE beds, annoyed that you have awoken her from her day of napping
The golden retriever needs more than one day to recover, thus throwing herself upon her owner in order to draw out the morning cuddles
If she had jeans to unbutton after Thanksgiving dinner, she would have.

I couldn't report what was said, but those discussions provided valuable context that informed my reporting outside the meeting.
