I really like how the judge said it's not the state's fault that there's a scarcity of abortion providers in Missouri.

PLEASE. #TEAMLEGAL
Repubs in Missouri introduce 30 pieces of anti-choice legislation a year, all aimed at regulating Missouri's last clinic out of existence...
When I say 30 per year, I'm not kidding. Last year Republicans introduced more than 35 bills aimed at shutting the last remaining clinic.
Fortunately it hasn't worked. PP just opened another clinic in Missouri. But when you intro that much legislation aimed at one clinic...
...you don't get to say "WELP, not our fault the state has no abortion providers."

Get the fuck out of here.
Anywhoozle, I have a piece coming up today about the shenanigans in Missouri.

#TeamLegal out.
Missouri is drunk on peach schnapps. Here’s my piece on their Herculean efforts to regulate abortion. rewire.news/ablc/2017/10/2… #TeamLegal

I know people don’t find value in voting—especially given the two party system and rampant injustice in this country—but honest to god, the lurching rightward of the courts has concerned me for years.

And now it’s happening. And it really makes me feel sick.
And voting is the only way to stop it. It just is.

Part of the reason @Hegemommy and I started this #TeamLegal business is to explain how the law impacts people.

I think a lot of people are put off by all the jargon and so they don’t pay much attention to the courts.
I’m begging everyone to pay more attention to the courts. Not just the Supreme Court. But lower courts, too.

One of these days, I'm going to go off about diversity and affirmative action and how it's all bullshit because this white supremacist country can't admit that perhaps 400 years of slavery had an affect on achievement gaps between Black folks and everybody else.
In my view, this diversity shit is nonsense. I am for quotas. Fuck it. This country owes Black people. The government wont give Black folks reparations and after like 30 years of affirmative action, the government is like, "y'all are good."
400 YEARS OF SLAVERY.

White folks purposefully refused to educate Black folks because they didn't want us getting smart and fucking up white people's program.

But yeah, genetics is why some Black kids underperform in school.

GTFO.

And I want to point out that I am not one to hold a grudge when it comes to defeating trump. I would happily accept an apology from Amy and then we can move forward.

But how can you be trusted if you won’t be honest about who you were and how you became the person you are now?
How can you be trusted when you position yourself as the leader of the resistance and two black women with valid questions about your past as Russian disinfo agents?

It’s really messed up. And I find it very disheartening.

Are you seriously doing this Amy?

You could‘ve explained your crap tweets but instead you try to turn the tables on me.

You could have messaged me and said, my politics have changed. My tweet about BLM was inappropriate.

But no. You screeched at me.
As I said, your tweets speak for themselves, @Amy_Siskind.

And rather than explain why you spent 8 years trashing obama, wanted Palin to primary him, disavowed BLM because you you don’t like solidarity with Palestinians.

Instead you’re straight up lying.
Weak.

But this is your resistance hero, ladies and gentlemen.

Enjoy her.

people gotta stop conflating white working class voters with working class voters.
If you mean white working class voters, then say so.

Working class voters haven’t abandoned democrats. White working class voters did.

And to be fair—and brutally unironic—not all white working class voters did.

So at this point, you’re just chasing trump voters.

Why tho
This is the problem with Boatshoe socialism.

I truly don’t need rich white people explaining identity politics to me.

The end.
The notion that some rich white girl from Brooklyn is gonna lecture me about identity politics is alternatively hilarious and infuriating.

Have a seat, ma’am.
I’m more disturbed by the ease with which people are smearing Sharice Davids as a corporate lawyer when she worked at an Econ development Corp on her reservation.

Or claiming that she’s taking dark money… from *checks notes* Emily’s List.

Y’all are lying on this woman.
