- The last 24 hours have just made it very clear why women & people of color are the base of the Democratic Party.
- #Mynameis Rukmini, which means “adorned with gold.” I’m named after my grandmother. My nickname, Mini, was given to me by my grandfather, and is from a short story by the great writer Rabindranath Tagore. These are American names now. Our names matter & our families matter. 1/2
- I’m running out of words…. Please just vote. We do not have to live like this. Pregnancy should not be a death sentence.Nevaeh Crain visited 2 Texas emergency rooms in 12 hours, returning home each time worse than before. On her third trip, a doctor insisted on 2 ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise” before moving her to intensive care. Hours later, Nevaeh died. propublica.org/article/nevaeh…
- Big news! 🧵 The FDA just removed some of the restrictions on medication abortion! 1/4
- Ya’ll, we need to talk about this wave of anti-choice Republicans who are suddenly trying to pretend they don’t support the extremist policies they’ve spent years pushing. 📢
- Reproductive freedom includes the freedom to raise your children free from threats of gun violence & free from the anxiety of wondering if their elementary school is next. Enough is enough. We’re united in this fight. We refuse to live like this anymore.
- Some personal news as they say: I’m honored to be headed to NARAL Pro-Choice America as the organization’s next president & couldn’t be more thrilled about the opportunity!We are delighted to share with you that @mintimm will be the next president of NARAL. bit.ly/3GJTkQh #WelcomeToNARALMini
- And here you go. Your so called “moderate” candidate siding with a completely bonkers decision out of Alabama. Nikki Haley has always been extreme just like the entire GOP.NEW: Nikki Haley tells me that frozen embryos created through in-vitro fertilization “are babies,” siding with a recent AL decision that raised concerns among doctors and patients worried about the future of the procedure. w/ @Rhoades31 @NBCNews nbcnews.com/politics/2024-…
- I’ve been trying to process yesterday’s rally in Houston. As someone who spent most of my career working for progressive causes & abortion rights in Texas, seeing a 30k crowd in my hometown listening to abortion storytellers & chanting for reproductive freedom was what I needed.
- Politicians should not interfere with women's health care—in Indiana, Florida, or anywhere else.
- Just a reminder that Dr. Oz believes that life begins at conception and is anti-abortion. CMS has oversight over a wide range of reproductive health policy. This is not ok.FETTERMAN on OZ APPOINTMENT “Well, I've been very, very clear if Dr Oz agrees to protect and preserve Medicaid and Medicare, I’m absolutely going to vote for the dude.”
- This isn't over, this isn't final. Abortion is still legal in the U.S., and we won't stop fighting until reproductive freedom truly is for *every* body. Tonight's news from the Supreme Court is devastating. Whatever you're feeling right now, we are there with you 1/2
