Let’s be very clear. Alabama did not just pass a ‘law’ to criminalize abortion. It enacted a measure it knows to be unconstitutional. Radical pro-lifers have as little respect for the law as they do for women and their children once they leave the womb.

Ummm... I think it’s exactly who they want to kill and imprison. Because they know perfectly well people who need abortions will get them. But maybe I’m just being cynical.

Ben Carson’s new rule targeting undocumented tenants of public housing may evict more than 55,000 children—all citizens or legal residents. He knows this. I wrote about him doing it for a @POTUS who, once upon a time, wouldn’t have rented him an apartment. rol.st/2VC2BWC

A white woman wrote the law. A white woman governor will sign it. 62% of non-college educated white women voted Republican in 2016. This is a powerful and disgusting image, but we also have to address the complicity of white women.

Black women are nearly 4X as likely to die as a result of childbirth, even factoring in education/income. The disparity hasn't improved over 30 years. Meet the bipartisan Black Maternal Health Caucus, backed by legislators of all genders, races, ages. elle.com/culture/career-poli…

I am beyond humbled to receive an award named after Hubert Humphrey, who wrote the Civil Rights Act (at the direction of the movement) the year I was born. I accept this on behalf of the 25,000 people who stood last June to re-launch the #PoorPeoplesCampaign. #WeAreDemocracy2019

This is a key point: Elizabeth Warren welcomes Fox News to attend her events and ask her questions. She’s not taking credentials or refusing to engage with Fox reporters. What she isn’t going to do is give them exclusive content, let them sell ads, and lend them her credibility.

This law is designed to murder women

We cannot let the Trump Admin drag us into yet another war in the Middle East. This is exactly why the President doesn't have the constitutional authority to declare war. That's Congress’s job – and that's why I'm supporting this legislation to prevent a war with Iran.

This is a critical story hardly getting a mention on national news.

She is exactly right. Fox “News” is a primary engine of democracy’s downfall. Legitimizing it in any way- even if it means reaching their zombified audience for an hour - abets it’s continuation. Truth is, that audience COULD watch another channel. They just don’t.
