   Lindsey Graham on CNN says that "I think states should decide the issue of marriage," but when Dana Bash asks him if states should also decide whether interracial marriage is legal, he dismisses the question as a distraction from inflation pic.twitter.com/L1rGv6ZGBi

   Indiana is forcing women to carry dead fetuses to term

   Women will die of sepsis

   Mom & fetus will die

   They wanna punish us for having sex, for exercising bodily autonomy

   In their eyes we should only “breed” for their domestic supply of infants

   Sex for female pleasure is a sin

     Some of us have been saying this since the goddamn 1980s when Ronzo geared up the Christofascist Strategy. (They were there before, but people just laughed at them and saw them as cults. Which they are.)

     And we’ve been saying it and saying it and saying it and saying it and saying it

     Why do we have to actually and in fact lose it all before (maybe?) enough people see what’s right there?

       Same shit, different decade. How far back do we have to go before we can go forward again?

       Rhetorical questions of course.

   Beach crews have found the first sea turtle nest on the Mississippi mainland in four years.

   The eggs likely belong to a protected loggerhead sea turtle or an even rarer Kemp’s ridley sea turtle, but the exact species won’t be known until the eggs hatch. https://t.co/4IDESdutPV

   The amendment he's referring to is here and it's about oil drilling: https://t.co/iF0AWN0hjk. Furthermore he is one of the 7 Republicans who voted WITH DEMS to try to overrule the parliamentarian and cap insulin prices. So this is just him sowing confusion. https://t.co/cDAttoRDDr

    Rachel @Maddow raised eyebrows last year with a staggering multimillion-dollar deal—to not be on air five nights a week. Now, in her first interview since stepping back, she’s pulling back the curtain on her next act: https://t.co/ljzrChF9zS
