If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women.
It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

gender-based grievances has become one of the most reliable weapons in the far right’s arsenal, hollowing out the democratic norms that make equality and shared citizenship possible. Any serious attempt to understand – and resist – this movement must confront its gender politics head-on.”

Why are people attempting to take a serious look at the implications of a presidential pardon for state crimes, instead of simply laughing and pointing at the jackass? That team could use more of that.

How it's done
Tina Peters is in Colorado state prison because she broke the law and was convicted by a jury of her peers. In Colorado, no one is above the law. I’m not afraid of Donald Trump or his political pressure—I will always stand up for the rule of law and fight for what’s right.

Damn I wouldn't have predicted that in the new Naked Gun reboot, Liam Neeson would be the OJ.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Also talked with @sambiddle.com about the Crusader Cross image, the medieval nostalgia of which should concern everyone
Once eschewed by the Pentagon, the “Jerusalem cross” has been co-opted by the far right — and embraced by Pete Hegseth.
Official Propaganda for Caribbean Military Buildup Includes “Crusader Cross”
The “Jerusalem cross” appeared prominently in Pentagon propaganda for boat strikes and the Venezuela military buildup.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵
