And by “around here” he means “for women in the country” rather than “on Twitter because the real human cost is less than the fact that people will be mad on Twitter” https://t.co/hE52a92jPa

One humbling thing that history has taught me is that, if I'm honest with myself, I probably would have been on the wrong side of some issues in the past. I think a capability to recognize this is a key inflection point in political maturity.

Also, the NRLC is proposing this as federal legislation. So the whole idea that overturning Roe will simply “send it back to the states”? No. That was never their plan. They want a nationwide abortion ban, and they’re already writing bills to make it a reality.

And if a few more of them hadn’t? You know he’s trying to purge the ones who did, right? https://t.co/6hTRTQJZIY

They're telegraphing what the federal ban will look like, as well as at the state level. Even "life of the mother" exceptions are donezo. It also makes it a felony to provide information about abortion.

So much for "free speech," eh? https://t.co/MTORbFs9vV

Your reminder that "believing in the first amendment" includes "believing a non-government actor can punish speech it doesn't like". https://t.co/BeIuuljRA0

Either I don't understand the word "anodyne" means or perhaps you should consider that saying "most Jews in the U.S aren't in a position to claim that their religious freedom as Jews is violated by a law" is a bit more controversial than you think. https://t.co/I3h0XFlcUH

Fair warning to followers for the day, apparently I've decided on "if y'all motherfuckers are going to tell me my Judaism is insufficiently frum to be protected by the first amendment you'd best say it to my face".

So there'll be quite a bit of that. https://t.co/TOcT3FyAm1

See this whole thing is interesting to me because I distinctly remember being reminded by numerous Jews during the Trump administration that we were not to question Ivanka’s status as a Jew simply because she was spotted publicly doing non-observant things.

And honestly, I don’t see much of a difference between questioning someone’s actual status as a Jew because non-observance, and questioning a sizeable group of Jews’ right of free exercise of religion because they’re not observant of even a whole lot of things.

Are you really arguing that it's dishonest for me to claim to believe in any aspect of Judaism or Halacha if I do not believe in all precepts or follow all restrictions? https://t.co/gfyS2TTumO

If it looks as if civilization is collapsing, and that strikes you as a BAD thing, check out how some people on Twitter are mad that a teevee show will have female Orcs, and join me in saying BURN IT ALL DOWN FASTER

You try maintaining residences in two expensive urban areas on $174,000/year. It’s doable, sure, but it’s not easy. https://t.co/MsuLFo0uFW

This, right here, is the biggest problem in America. It's not "people who don't know whether the President schemed to unlawfully prevent the transfer of power". It's people who don't think that's disqualifying in the first place. https://t.co/o4JXCRemtH
