What happened to Executive Order 14120 signed by Biden in March 2024 to expand women's health research? It isn't listed as formally rescinded by Trump but 404s on Whitehouse.gov - women's health is now DEI, too? 🙄🖕🏼

If you're going to keep playing the Kennedy Center while claiming yourself as an ally, then this is the kind of active resistance you damn well better be prepared to engage in.

Trump has no fucking clue and this is brilliant 🥳🏆

“Mississippi does not recognize privacy in that matter, as far as abortions and all that. So if you don’t acknowledge it in an abortion setting, how can you do it in an adoption setting?” Cox said. “You can’t pick and choose whether you’re going to protect my privacy.” 🥚
