Today during Cinco de Mayo, we celebrate the bonds between the United States and Mexico, and the many contributions of trailblazing Mexican-Americans who, like those in the battle of Puebla, have overcome the odds and made history.
Why Stacey Abrams ‘Converted’ To An Unequivocal Abortion Rights Supporter
“I come to this with the zeal of the converted,” says Stacey Abrams on her support for abortion rights.
“You cannot take equivocal positions on issues of moral certainty. And the moral certainty is that we are talking about women’s lives.”
“I believe in the right to an abortion and this is something I came to over many years…
you may not choose abortion for yourself but almost the majority of Americans believe that you should have the right to make that decision. This is not a conversation for politicians. The conversation between a doctor and a pregnant woman, to have the conversation with her doctor and her family about what makes sense…
You cannot believe it is OK
to steal the ability of women to have bodily autonomy
and say you believe in human civil rights.
I cannot do that and as Governor I will not do that.”
White House Announces Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health in September
MAY 04, 2022
“Today, President Biden is announcing that for the first time in over 50 years,
the White House will host a Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health this September. The Conference,
and the preparatory work leading up to it, will accelerate progress and drive significant change to end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, reduce diet-related disease, and close the disparities around them.”
David Hogg:
“So let me get this straight- one leak from the SCOTUS and the marshal is called in to investigate
by Chief Justice Roberts but a sitting justice’s wife literally plotted to overthrow the government and
no investigation? Interesting.”
FBI Director #ChrisWray's congressional testimony responding to whether FBI received "any tips from social media companies about threats to the Capitol."
Screw the social medis, as the head of national security, isn’t it his job to foresee this coming? Either incompetent or complicit in insurrection or both. This pos should have been fired by Biden on day one.
Lots to say about how grateful I am to @POTUS and @FLOTUS and the Biden family for trusting me to serve as @PressSec and plenty of time before my last day to share, but today is about @KJP46 so a few thoughts on this remarkable woman who will soon be behind the podium every day.
She will be the first black woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as the White House Press Secretary. Representation matters and she will give a voice to many, but also make many dream big about what is truly possible.
@KJP46 has decades of experience from her early years working in government and politics in NYC, to her years as an outspoken advocate, to serving as a long-time advisor to @POTUS back when he was the VP.
She is passionate. She is smart and she has a moral core that makes her not just a great colleague, but an amazing Mom and human. Plus, she has a great sense of humor.
One of our first conversations was about how to build a drama free team that focused on doing the job and also supporting each other while playing a role every day in rebuilding trust in government. Grateful to have had her by my side.

Reform the Supreme Court NOW: term limits, a larger court, more clerks, end the shadow docket and require all decisions to be briefed and have published opinions, and enact a real ethics code.
Calls like this are often derided as "do something" Twitter. But coming from someone like Newsom, I think this reflects a growing sense among Democratic pros that there is a leadership vacuum and no plan – short-term, long-term or otherwise – to deal with the threats we face. https://t.co/kt9zXht6V6

IMPEACH the trump justices for lying about Roe v Wade at their confirmation hearings, instead of normalizing it. BOYCOTT the trigger states.
Children have no one but us to rely on. If they’re left alone to cry it out, they go quiet, they stop feeling, their hearts have been broken. Our hearts have been broken repeatedly since 2016, and without President Biden we would be underwater right now. We cannot go quiet or spectate with hands tied.
We can do all the obvious things and see what happens, get out in front, just do it.
“It’s no big deal that Trump took fifteen boxes of classified materials to Mar-a-Lago but it’s a huge problem that someone leaked the draft of a Supreme Court opinion early,” I insist as I contort myself into a pretzel.
As fences go up around the Supreme Court, a reminder they overruled a law that created 35ft buffer zones for abortion clinics because it “infringed on free speech”
But when it’s their own building they dont seem too worried. Huh.

New: Justice Clarence Thomas says in Atlanta: “We can’t be an institution that can be bullied into giving you just the outcomes you want” — though his wife Ginni Thomas attempted to do just that as she sought to help overturn Biden’s 2020 election win.
Yeah, women don’t want to fck around anymore with guys they got stuck marrying because they had limited options. Pity the poor men in this scenario where women developed standards.

It is important that those w/power & influence who insisted that those of us who have been ringing the alarm – long before Trump – were alarmist need to openly acknowledge & apologize for their errors. B/c to do so will create space for a truly different analysis & approach.
BREAKING: Trump now claims he’s lost FOUR of the cell phones subpoenaed by the NY AG. Trump is still being fined $10,000 per day for defying the AG’s subpoenas – $100,000 and counting.
