If you think they'll stop with a women's right to choose, you haven't been paying attention. We have to fight like our lives depend on it, because clearly, they do.

So the Republican Party supports forcing women to give birth against their will, but opposes providing childcare, paid leave or healthcare. Got it.

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

Fuck this illegitimate SCOTUS. Fuck the Republican party that enabled this. And if you don't care that this decision makes women second-class citizens, fuck you too. We don't have the luxury of time--we need to fight NOW. It's Democrats vs. Fascists in 2022. Vote accordingly.

Here’s the way I see it: if your wife tried to help lead a coup, and if you’re a judge, or a Supreme Court justice, you shouldn’t be anywhere near ruling on cases about that coup. Yes, Justice Clarence Thomas, I’m looking at you.

With an aching heart I add my voice to that of the common people, who implore the end of the war. In the name of God, listen to the cry of those who suffer, and put an end to the bombings and the attacks! #LetsPrayTogether #Ukraine #Peace

My small tribute to #OrdinaryJoe. Thanks @garrettlerner and @ojwritersNBC for a beautiful series in a difficult world. And thanks to @JamesWolk for a performance that reminded me it's okay to be myself even when I'm a mess. I'll always be a huge fan. tvbrittanyf.com/2022/03/05/o…
