Reminder: Republicans love "court packing" when it suits them:
Last week Utah Gov. Spencer Cox appointed anti-abortion culture war zealot John Nielsen to the state supreme court, & may now expand the court to create a majority more favorable to Republican legislators: www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Texas' abortion ban has killed yet another woman. Here's exactly what the anti-abortion response will be:

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Here's what we know about the shooting outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in South Carolina today involving anti-abortion protesters. We spoke to volunteers + reviewed footage of the incident. Anti-abortion violence is sharply on the rise—essentially encouraged by the Trump admin:

They calling them “catch kits.” A nightmare.

They calling them “catch kits.” A nightmare.
Wisconsin Republicans are introducing a bill that mandates women use ‘catch kits’ when they have a miscarriage or abortion at home—forcing them to bag up their pregnancy tissue and bring it to the doctor as medical waste.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.
