The RNC is heavily involved. One GOP Fulton County commissioner bragged:
“We’re fortunate enough to have the RNC paying and backing us...There’s no limit to fighting it.”
This is part of a broader pattern: Trump and his allies want to jail opponents and weaponize the courts.

BREAKING: Foreign-born leader comes to Oval Office, dressed down in a disrespectful manner, having already received billions from America, asking for American taxpayers to keep paying him more billions, subsidizing him for years to come:

BREAKING: An 18-month Senate investigation finds that migrant women detained at the Irwin County Detention Center endured excessive, unnecessary gynecological procedures, often without consent.
This confirms earlier reports by Project South & partners.

Over four years ago, Brian protested with March For Our Lives to demand action on gun violence in our schools and communities.
This week, he was shot in both hands and through his neck by an AR-15 at his school in St. Louis. He jumped out of a window to save his life.

By now you have heard the news that Roe v. Wade has been overturned. We'll be on IG live today at 2pm to discuss the impact of the case in Georgia and for independent abortion providers like Feminist Center.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade. This decision reverses 50 years of precedent for abortion rights.
26 states are poised to ban abortion leaving 36 million women, and even more trans and non-binary folks, without access to abortion care.

I blame the NRA.
I blame the NSSF.
I blame the gun industry.
I blame ALL members of Congress, Governors, State Legislators who did nothing to prevent these tragedies after my neighbor killed 26 children & educators with an AR15 in Sandy Hook.

Remember when Amy Coney Barrett couldn’t name the five freedoms in the First Amendment?

This bill passed the GA Senate yesterday. But it’s still a bad bill which won’t open up free speech or assembly. It’ll make protest activities a felony, require permits for 2+ ppl who gather, remove state benefits eligibility for 100K Georgians. The House should vote this down.
Guest columnist @AttorneyNora says a bill under consideration by a Georgia Senate panel today that would require a permit for protests and other free speech activities is an affront to the First Amendment georgiarecorder.com/2022/03/… #gapol

I care deeply abt free speech & First Amendment rights for all. GA’s SB 171 is a troubling bill which will criminalize free speech & increase penalties for ppl who engage in protest. Here is testimony I would’ve given @ today’s hearing if allowed. 🧵 on GA’s anti-protest bill:

We were a country that erected monuments to the racists, bigots, separatists. And when racial justice movements pushed for their removal, state policymakers have introduced laws to criminalize that kind of speech. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…
