🧵 As everyone talks about abortion this week, we thought it might be helpful to review some best practices with regards to language from the repro field & share some other definitions that might be useful.
1/x Thread.

"What if the Constitution was silent on abortion because its drafters believed that it — like virtually all medical procedures — should remain unregulated as a matter of law? How, in other words, do we interpret that historical silence?"

"I feel like I'm out in the middle of the sea, and I can't find land." New piece from @mayacgonzalez discusses the #Rohingya experience of forced displacement in 2017, a part of the broader campaign of genocide by the Burmese military. ushmm.org/genocide-preve…

My latest on @kveller for #YomHaShoah: "As we remember the 6 million daughters and sons lost in the Holocaust, we should also honor the countless women and men like Katherine Senesh, who fought to keep their memory alive."

Here’s your reminder that America owns colonies. It taxes us without giving us representation in Congress. It’s sends our citizens to wars without allowing those citizens to vote for the president. It cheats the poor of benefits while giving tax breaks to the rich. ¡Basta ya! 🇵🇷

The Supreme Court rules 8-1 that the government does not violate the equal protection clause by excluding Puerto Rico residents from Supplemental Security Income, a safety-net program for people who are blind, disabled, or at least 65. Sonia Sotomayor is the lone dissent.

#OTD in 1975: Nearly 3 million people living in #Cambodia's capital of Phnom Penh were victims of forced displacement. Known as "April 17 People," they became the targets of the Khmer Rouge's atrocity crimes & violent campaign to create an agrarian utopia. ushmm.org/genocide-preve…

As we begin #GenocideAwarenessMonth, Holocaust survivors reflect on the lessons of the Holocaust, and what we must all do to ensure the promise of #NeverAgain is fulfilled.

This short piece allowed me to practice balancing survivor experience with historical narration and imagination. I hope it inspires you to listen to the voices of today’s displaced populations when you see them on your news feed.
Preventing Genocide@CPG_USHMM
"If someone is forced to leave, they lose everything." How does forced displacement impact civilians & survivors of mass atrocities? @mayacgonzalez looks at case of Phnom Penh, a city of 3 million Cambodians evacuated by Khmer Rouge soldiers in April 1975. ushmm.org/genocide-preve…

Only seven times since the Holocaust has the U.S. concluded that genocide was committed. Today, at the @HolocaustMuseum, marks the eighth, as I have determined that members of the Burmese military committed genocide and crimes against humanity against Rohingya.
