Since abortion training for med students is becoming impossible, a new California law removes the red tape for anyone anywhere to receive training on abortion. We love when people are educated in their field w/o being punished for it. Go Cali!

Florida puts the “total” in “totalitarian” by proposing a  convoluted law that would create an anti-abortion hall of horrors that could effectively ban medication abortion in all 50 states. Check out the highlights of this oppression smorgasbord.

Horrific, a US governor on the US-MX border would apparently like to shoot🔫 migrants at the border as a deterrent:

Texas Gov Greg Abbott tells Dana Loesch the "only thing we're not doing is shooting people" crossing the border because "the Biden Administration would charge us with murder." -Heartland Signal

Republicans are truly domestic terrorists. They'd kill their 'enemies', if given the chance.

Republicans are killing women with their abortion bans and they're perfectly fine with that. Vote blue if you care at all for the women in your life. 💙

As Dean Obeidallah says, "During Fox News’ campaign commercial for Donald Trump masquerading as a Town Hall on Wednesday night, Trump again bragged that he overturned Roe v. Wade. … That’s all true—Trump is 100 percent the reason Roe was overturned."

Meanwhile, there's the real world, in which the effects of of overturning Roe are the precise opposite of "pro-life" for woman after woman endangered by pregnancy….

It's easy to fault the founders for all the things they got wrong. Once in a while, we should note when they got something right.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ohio-woman-miscarried-home-will-not-criminally-charged-grand-jury-says-rcna132093#

A grand jury refused to charge the Ohio woman who miscarried in her bathroom.

Grand juries were added to the Fifth Amendment to check a potentially tyrannical government. (Not all states are required to use Grand Juries because Grand Juries were not incorporated through the due process clause but the idea comes from the 5th Amendment)

That we're living in the '20s sounds so weird - like it's the 1920s.
It sounds like a bygone time when women were still fighting for their rights, the rich were living a life of hedonism and preying on cheap labour whilst people starved, and the world was on the verge of financial ruin and war...

If the president does it, it's legal" was also Nixon's defense.

It didn't work for him, and it's not going to work for Trump either.

Presidents are NOT immune from prosecution.

NO ONE IS.

That's what "Equal justice under the law" means.

That's why Lady Justice has a blindfold! So she can't see if you're a president! NOT so she can take a peek to see if you're a VIP and thus immune from accountability.

Chris Hayes is talking about how if Trump loses the election he has threatened 'bedlam.' Okay. What I want to know is what's the #DOJ doing today to prepare for threats to the 3 judges on the panel? What are the plans to stop them?
As @glennkirschner2 has said, to protect the judges & the community it's time for pretrial detention for #Trump.
We can anticipate this happening. We saw what happened with Judge #TanyaChutkan #JackSmith & #JudgeEngoron 's clerk.
We don't need more proof!
