The bar exam is hard to pass. It's even harder for pregnant/breastfeeding people, some of whom are denied accommodations. I spoke to two women taking it tomorrow — likely through severe pain from not being allowed to pump as often as they need to. buzzfeednews.com/article/jul…

And 60% of women who get abortions are already mothers. Many of them desperately want another kid — but they can't. Because they don't have health care. Or #PaidLeave to give birth and care for a newborn. Or affordable child care. Or a livable wage to get everything a baby needs.

You deserve the right to control your own body and to decide when you will be pregnant and become a parent. And you deserve a country that makes it possible to raise a family and give your children the best life possible. We must defend our reproductive freedom.

Every Congress person gets 12 weeks paid parental leave as a term of their employment. We, the taxpayers, pay for their family leave, but they won’t vote to let us pay for ours.

A friend introduced me to WindowSwap, where you can peer outside someone's window, somewhere in the world. And when you're ready, shuffle to a new one. No substitute for fresh air, but it's strangely calming. 💆🏻‍♀️ window-swap.com

Bless her. She was a child. During the trial, she said she stays up at night apologizing to George Floyd that she didn’t do more. I hope she knows how incredibly much she did do
Thinking of Darnella Frazier, who was just 17 years old when she filmed that video of George Floyd's murder
