Trump Appellate Judge on why #mifepristone should never have been approved: “Unborn babies are a source of profound joy for those who view them. Expectant parents eagerly share ultrasound photos with loved ones. Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child. Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients — and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted.”

These people don’t even try to make legal arguments. He’s just saying Babies R Good.

"Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend."

Animal Farm, a beast fable in the form of a satirical allegorical novella, by George Orwell, was first published in England #OTD in 1945.

Orwell initially encountered difficulty getting the manuscript published, largely due to fears that the book might upset the alliance between Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union. via @wikipedia

“If you are a service member stationed in a state that has rolled back or restricted health care access, you are often stationed there because you were assigned there. It is not that you chose to go there...So, a service member in Alabama deserves to have the same access to health care as a service member in California, as a service member stationed in Korea.”

That's right. Fuck #Tuberville and straight to their freaky religious Hell with all #Alabama Republicans.
