Great collection of late night comedic (bc we all need that) commentary on the travesty of AZ and abortion. nytimes.com/2024/04/11/art…
It’s bad that AZ is giving effect to a law from the 1800’s, but let’s not lose focus that states are passing equally horrific laws in the 2020s.

Recent poll shows 81% of americans (including two-thirds of Republicans) agreed that the government shouldn't be involved in how a woman manages abortion issues. Criminalization of abortion is completely out of step with American sentiment. ipsos.com/en-us/most-ame…

Politicians do not belong in the doctor’s office. As Governor, I’ll protect reproductive freedom and defend women’s rights.

“Here, we have emergency room physicians asserting that they will not participate in lifesaving medical intervention unless they approve of the reason for the pregnancy loss.” There’s no limit to these doctors’ messed up, appalling reasoning.

Solicitor General Elizabeth Pregolar is an astonishingly talented advocate whose turns at the lectern shine with brilliance, flair, eloquence, and wit. It is always a pleasure and a gift to hear her masterful arguments at the Supreme Court. She is one of the all-time greats.

Heads up: This is the strategy. They don't need to win Congress. They just need to win the presidency and then the new DOJ can prioritize the enforcement of the Comstock Act (a law that was enacted in 1873 and has been unenforced, tho still on the books, for much of our lives).

Stark choices are available to voters in 2024 & NC’s future hangs in the balance. Robinson, Bishop and Morrow are dangerous. See David Schanzer on what’s at stake - open.substack.com/pub/perilous/p…
NC needs Josh Stein the only option for justice, families, good governance and the future

Focus in Danco definitely seems to be on standing - and also the disconnect btwn purported harms and sweeping nature of dist ct remedy - feels like a maj willing to resolve for government on standing but absolutely expect Comstock related opinion by Thomas and maybe Alito.

Comstock needs to be a word every American knows by election day. Biden can't restore repro rights on his own, but he CAN ensure that the Republican reimagination of this Victorian law doesn't come to threaten more destruction. David S. Cohen Rachel Rebouche slate.com/news-and-polit…

Mark Robinson is not alone. Michele Morrow, the Republican candidate for State School Superintendent, is also a conspiracy theorist with a history of 'deranged' posts. NC, we are better than this.

When John Oliver takes on a topic - people are advised to pay attention. Mark Robinson would be disastrous for North Carolina - youtu.be/NemT9KJnIEY?si…

Fortune Feimster was amazing in Durham tonight; love a comedian from the south - great standup is a public service - fortunefeimster.com Fortune Feimster more shows coming up in CA, CT and NY - it’s a can’t miss situation! (And props to her mom!)

This essay by Jason England is one among many reasons not to forego the brilliant and complex Erasure (2001) by Percival Everett just because you saw American Fiction. Read… the…. Book. (Love Jeffrey Wright and Sterling K Brown! …. But the book is a whole different world.)

Ryan Gosling’s Oscars performance of “I’m Just Ken” itself deserves an Oscar

Narrator: It was the exact position of the Republican Party.

MAJOR MILESTONE: Walgreens and CVS will start dispensing mifepristone, the abortion drug that has consistently been proven safe and effective, in states where it is legal to do so.
