BREAKING: The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade. We are furious. Despite the fact that Americans overwhelmingly support the right to abortion, access to abortion care is about to be ripped away from millions of people across the country.

New York will be there for whoever needs us. We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again: Our state first opened its doors to abortion care five decades ago — three years before the Court decided Roe.

People in need of abortions will look to states like NY but many will not have the means to travel or fund their own abortions. Give to funds like New York Abortion Access Fund + The Brigid Alliance to help break down financial + logistical barriers to abortion care: nyclu.org/protectabortion

Clarence Thomas, in his concurring opinion overturning the Constitutional right to legalized abortion, eyes other rights found to be Constitutionally guaranteed based on substantive process — birth control, same-sex marriage and consensual sodomy. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf…

We all knew that this is what this court was constructed to do. This is just the beginning... We all must be ready to fight.

The Equality Amendment would enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution - and provide a comprehensive path to protecting equal rights for all. Let’s do this.

Alongside Council Member Tiffany Cabán (D22), Council Member Amanda Farías, Council Member Farah N. Louis, and Julie Menin I am calling on Albany leadership to pass two pieces of legislation related to abortion and equal rights during the June 30 special session. Link to letter: bit.ly/3Adw24b

“Our state constitution, if this amendment passes, will say, ‘not here in New York and not on our watch.’ Our equal protection clause can serve as a model,” said Lee Rowland, policy director for the ⁦NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky)⁩ , adding: “That’s a big win.” nytimes.com/2022/07/01/nyr…

Charles Barkley: “If you are gay or transgender, I love you. And if anybody gives you sh*t, you tell em Charles says ‘f**k you!’”

Jacob deGrom pitching. Simple Man blaring. Perfection.

23 people in line at my election district in #bedtuy #brooklyn. Longest line I can remember in a long time - even in a Presidential year. #nyboe workers say it’s been like this all day. Crossing my fingers this is good news for turnout!

A remarkable race. Kenneth Mejia in Los Angeles ran for the obscure office of city controller... and made it all about a public education drive about how much LA is spending on policing. Including taking out billboard to show graphs. He's up 60%/40% rn. boltsmag.org/los-angeles-ci…

The worst part of Jay Jacobs ultimately is the utter absence of party-building. There is no functional statewide Democratic Party in New York. This was true under Cuomo and remains true under Hochul.

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿 #JusticeForTyreNichols 🎥: Austin Dean

If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.

A 60-year-old woman died of a stroke after Knoxville (TN) Police refused to get her medical help, instead accusing her of FAKING an illness and laughing at her! The lack of compassion for a woman pleading for help displayed in this video is just appalling! 🎥: @thetnholler

#HumanShielding in action. It is flabbergasting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to turn international law literally on its head. This risks being the end of multilateralism, which for some influential member states no longer serves any relevant purpose.
