I've shared this with others over the years: I had a miscarriage in 2010. I had zero say over my own body & nearly bled to death over a cluster of cells w/a heartbeat in a Catholic-run hospital. It was disgusting how the nurses & doctors treated the situation.

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Forcing women to "see if the miscarriage will resolve itself naturally" while the decaying tissue is killing her should not be ok. But this is considered abortion.
Forced pregnancy is a crime against humanity.

More than 4 Americans died due to incompetence at the highest level. Did it have to occur in a place that most Americans cannot find on a map or can we haul Trump in for 18 hours of questioning? #ImpeachTrumpNow

Considering how much damage Trump has managed to do in the last week, I don't think we can afford to give him two more weeks. #ImpeachTrumpNow

I guess they're really not afraid of being arrested when they know Trump will just pardon them all, right?

They are selling half loaves (not even full loaves!) of Stollen at the farmer's market for €9. More investigation may be required.

Best case scenario: Trump is largely forgotten in history. The answer to a trivia question, which 21st-century president refused to concede the election?

This is a huge moment in history.
The voters have spoken, and they have chosen @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to be our next president and vice president. It's a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together.
