    'Pro-life' = a lot of dead women.

    Before Roe vs. Wade: *Illegal abortion accounted for 17% of maternal deaths *1 in 10 women tried to perform an abortion on themselves *Abortion counted for 1 in 2 childbirth-related deaths of WOC *The mortality rate due to illegal abortion for WOC was 12x that for white women

    Wow, NYTimes buries the lead: Justice Kennedy's son who worked at Deutsche Bank was Trump's "most important lender"—more than $1 billion for real estate when no other bank would go near him

    Nazi dog whistle in communication from DHS.

    This is an actual story on an official government website with a 14-word headline starting with "we must secure". This is not an accident. There are actual Nazis-who-call-themselves-Nazis at DHS.

    "The rights of . . . people . . . have not depended on decisions of the courts. Like the other branches of the political system, the courts have recognized these rights only after citizens have engaged in direct action."

    Being generous, you could say this is the triumph of hope over experience, but at a certain point (some way in the rear view mirror) this naivety became culpable. Ask yourself WWMMD (What would Mitch McConnell do) and dig your fucking heels in.

    Dem. Senator BLUMENTHAL: “The Senate should do nothing to artificially delay” consideration of next justice, but POTUS should take his time & make a centrist choice.

    The spineless congressional Dems own this SCOTUS mess. So how about liquidating Nancy Pelosi's stock portfolio to pay for reproductive healthcare for poor women?

    This photo is from Nov. 14, 2017. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, was then working as a bartender. Less than a year later, she defeated the likely next Speaker of the House, and will almost certainly be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress

    Okay. I've found it. The absolute culmination of the "we have to build bridges with the far right" argument.

    Speaking as someone born in the last years of a dictatorship, you Americans are already several steps in one. Ferdinand Marcos' greatest trick was convincing people all protesters were communist animals, so when they went missing, few cared. Even after bodies were discovered.

    Guess who each gave $250,000 to Trump's inauguration? CoreCivic & GEO Corp. Both huge beneficiaries of Trump's cruel detentions.

    Huge corporations should not be profiting from the detention of human beings. Period.

    I’m so tired of liberal pubs letting these weak tea conservatives get away with their half-hearted euphemistic takes. If you to publish someone who wants to make the case for a majority white nation, have the balls to publish someone who will at least admit that’s what they want

    My new roommate keeps banging on about Enlightenment values and how identity politics are a threat to the West. He says he's a classical liberal but I think he's in the alt.right.

    Particularly striking moment today when the protesters at Otay Mesa Detention Center heard chants and cries from the detainees across the barbed wire and concrete walls. Responded with shouts of "Set them free!"
