Let me present this photo of national memorial for internment camps in DC as the gov perspective

Fitchburg Family Pharmacy posted on Facebook that in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade they have stocked Plan B, emergency contraception, are selling it at cost and are also "happy to provide these to our community members even if they cannot pay."

Some US Muslims, especially in positions of leadership, have openly embraced the Evangelical Right’s positions on a few social issues - such as abortion. Islamic laws around abortion aren’t “pro-choice” (per what it means in this country) but they aren’t “pro-life” either.

If you’re a reporter, don’t you dare call this a victory for religious people.
Millions of us just had *our* religious freedom stolen.

Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine does not contain fetal cells, as social media posts have falsely claimed. The erroneous claim distorts the facts of how the vaccine, like many other medications, was tested. Get the facts from @AP. apne.ws/zTFss0D

If you’re comparing the Texas abortion laws to ✨Sharia Law✨ enjoy this thread from when this same talking point came up when ACB was appointed to SCOTUS.
Using anything Islam & Muslim as a rhetorical measure of “bad” or “barbaric” is actually pretty bigoted.

The US is doing extremely well with its vaccination campaign, but there are some 30 million, mostly working class people who want the vaccine but can't access it for various reasons. A huge factor? Getting time off to deal with side effects.

Thinking of George Floyd’s family. What they deserve is George being alive. I wish them as much peace as they can find.

Understand though that the system is still beyond broken, and ultimately we must decide what to do with police.
There was legal justice today, but understand this rarely happens, and the fact that few Black folks even thought it would happen, tells you everything.

It's very rare that a cop is convicted for murdering an unarmed person in this country. Our shock and joy over Derek Chauvin's conviction is an indictment of the entire system.

The prosecutor did not “make an error.” He lied.
He lied about the police killing a child.
Ending this isn’t just about consequences for who pulls the trigger. It’s about admitting to and confronting an entire system that exists to protect, defend, and cover up state violence.
UPDATE: Chicago has released bodycam video of the police killing of 13-year-old #AdamToledo:
▪️ The video shows Adam had his hands up when police opened fire, killing him.
▪️ Cook County now says prosecutor made an error when they said Adam was holding a gun.
