Justice Thomas concurs, saying overruling Roe isn't enough. "For that reason, in future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell." That's right to privacy, contraception, marriage equality,etc

Abortion care IS health care. It was so before this. And it will remain so after this.
We don’t care what a far-right extremist Supreme Court that is in a crisis of legitimacy says. Your racist, sexist, classist ruling won’t stop us from accessing the care we need.

The Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade is one of the most un-American things that’s happened in our lifetime. I’m ready to work like hell to make sure this does not stand. Are you?

Today is one of the darkest days our country has ever seen
American women are having their rights taken by 5 unelected Justices on the extremist MAGA court
These justices—appointed by Republicans and presiding without accountability—have stolen the fundamental right to abortion

So states can decide you must carry a fetus but not whether you can carry a concealed gun?

Stop saying "abolish the filibuster." Start saying "approve legislation by a simple majority."

RIP Beverly Cleary. Millions of girls saw themselves in Ramona Quimby. Thank you from all the “pests” out there.

To grieve is to be human. It is to love. We have a President who understands this. #BidenCalm

In the loss, we’ve seen how much there is to gain — in appreciation, respect, and gratitude.
Finding light in the darkness is a very American thing to do.

Yes. So much yes. We have lost lives. And we have lost living. Thank you for understanding!

Republicans allowed Donald Trump to incite an insurrection without consequence, and now they want to allow insurrectionists to determine state voting laws. We cannot allow laws to be written based on a lie. We must protect the right to vote. #gapol

When I lost my son, I was in a fog for weeks, nearly paralyzed with grief. To imagine that @RepRaskin has not just gotten up every day, but has done this master class in constitutional law, philosophy, logic, patriotism & more with eloquence, force, passion...My God. What a hero.

“What the fuck man? Is this America?” Said a Black Capitol police officer after the 1/6 attack. Such a disgrace. #ConvictTrump #blacklivesmatter
