I’m not the Touchline you might think. I just picked this name back when I was a soccer mom. I live in Texas.

@ElieNYC @MollyJongFast Hilarious that he’s telling this to Piers F-ing Morgan, who has his own “that woman snubbed my advances” story. 🤣

White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience: In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵

Hi all, this is Ady’s wife, Rachael. I’m devastated to share the news that Ady has died from complications of ALS. You probably knew Ady as a healthcare activist. But more importantly he was a wonderful dad and my life partner for 18 years. [1/4]

By using the term "open border," conservatives are suggesting that anyone can get into the U.S. without much hassle. But the reality is the southern border is more fortified than it's ever been. Axios Explains: The myth of a U.S.-Mexico "open border" trib.al/vTOwWP5

Monday, the Supreme Court gets back to work. This term is not about conservatives v. liberals. Liberals are not allowed to have cases anymore. This term is conservatives v. nihilists. This term is Law v. the 5th Circuit. My SCOTUS preview in @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…

Cochran County, which borders New Mexico, has outlawed travel on its local roads to seek an abortion, joining a small group of other rural Texas counties that have passed similar measures. Abortion-rights supporters say the new policies are not legal. bit.ly/3LIbZ2V

Even before Roe, abortion opponents had conflated science and religious morality through language, transforming a blob of disorganized embryonic cells into an “unborn child,” writes Judith Levine. interc.pt/3WK2tAs

Please stop calling North Carolina's abortion ban a "12-week ban." It's not. Abortion medication - used in 60% of abortions in the state - is only legal before 10 weeks. And just so you get a sense of what we're talking about, this is a pregnancy at 9 weeks.

Me: I live in a world where people think we should kill other people who annoy us Hobbes: On no. Sounds like you live in the State of Nature. The solution to that is authoritarianism. Me: You say that, but in my world the authoritarians ALSO support vigilante justice Hobbes: Wut?
