Today is #ThxBirthControl Day & we are thankful for ALL the ways you support us every day! Birth control isn't just about preventing pregnancy-it can reduce cramps, clearing up skin, manage health conditions, & give us the power to shape the families that we want if/when ready.
Graphic with purple and orange circular shapes the light. Text states: Thanks, birth control! Because birth control is so much more than “just” birth control. Purple circles list the different benefits.

Many of us are fearful about the future of America. Text JUDGES to 63033 to tell Senate Democrats that they must act now and use the power they have to confirm federal judges for dozens of remaining vacancies before Trump has the chance to fill them with judges who will undermine our fundamental freedoms. This is one of the most impactful actions we can take right now to fight back.

The Senate's Democratic majority began a crusade to confirm as many new federal judges nominated by President Biden as possible to avoid leaving vacancies that Donald Trump could fill after taking office on Jan. 20. Subscribe to The Daily Docket: reut.rs/4dsT

I wrote about the different ways the coming Trump administration will restrict abortion access nationwide. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Make no mistake: this Trump presidency will continue to attack abortion rights | Moira Donegan

Just because Trump is publicly distancing himself from abortion does not mean Republicans won’t enact a national ban

The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

Student debt shouldn't dictate life choices. Imagine the freedom of choosing a career based on passion, not monthly payments.

BREAKING: Not only is abortion still fully legal in Colorado, but the right to an abortion was just voted into the state constitution. That’s not all — abortion care can now be covered by state health insurance, expanding access for Coloradans! Huge victory for repro freedom!🏔

We’ve somehow memory-holed the lawless power grab that was Bush v. Gore, but the corrupt justices who sit on the Supreme Court today are fruit of that poisonous tree. They’ve given every indication that they would do it again. We can’t let that happen. therevolvingdoorproject.org/…

Memo: Remembering Bush v. Gore | Revolving Door Project

We cannot forget the fundamental wrongheadedness of the Court’s ruling in Bush v. Gore, which was possible only with the votes of at least two justices whose conflicts of interest merited recusal,...

We can learn some key lessons from this unique case. As more right-wing partisans call on #SCOTUS to weigh in on the 2024 election, any “Bush v. Gore 2.0” cases must be treated with the utmost scrutiny. [6/7]

Conflicts of interest can create a lasting scar on our democratic system, so we have to call them out as loudly and often as possible. Keep up with the justices’ myriad conflicts of interest at SupremeTransparency.org (cc @revolvingdoorDC @itstruenorth) [7/7]

Important note from @DaniLang_Votes, who is representing the nonprofit organizations that sued: There is same-day registration in Virginia, so, know what you need to bring with you, but even purged legal voters should be able to vote if they realize they were improperly purged.
Danielle Lang @DaniLang Votes •10m I am hopping mad. The Supreme Court issued an unreasoned order reinstating a purge in Virginia based on faulty evidence that was capturing known eligible U.S. voters. Danielle Lang @DaniLang Votes •10m But folks need to channel their (correct) anger into action. These voters can vote by registering same day in Virginia. And that's why reforms like same day registration are so important.
