Women's basketball has been growing over the past few years. It should be clear to ESPN and Warner after records were shattered this past year that it's a smart business move to INVEST in women's basketball right?!

Pay women what they're worth:

NEW: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court restores Border Patrol’s access to the portion of the border fenced off by the Texas National Guard, allowing federal officers to cut through the guard’s wire, intercept migrants and resume surveillance. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Last night’s victories in Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia hammer one simple truth home: the American people support abortion access, and they oppose attacks on our transgender community! 🧵/1

We demand Big Tech: 👉🏼 Remove threats against candidates, voters supporting these initiatives, and election workers. 👉🏼 Stop the spread of abortion disinformation and pro-abortion ballot initiatives. 👉🏼 Increase transparency around the platforms' moderation decisions, staffing, and use of user data. /4

Anti-abortion extremists know this. That's why we saw rampant spread of disinformation about the ballot measure from state-based blogs to far-right Christian groups creating confusion on social media platforms. /2

Across the board, abortion bans restrict people's rights and ability to live their fullest lives. That sounds like a condemnation of freedom, which is opposite of what the GOP supposedly stands for right?

How can you take action against the Manosphere? 1. Educate yourself and your community of the Manosphere and its members. 2. Take action with UltraViolet to expose and restrict the reach of the Manosphere and its members.

The Manosphere is what we're fighting in our campaign for a feminist future on- and offline. It's a dangerous network for websites, bloggers, and influencers who groom people to adopt sexist beliefs and blame women for their shortcomings. Some even promote violence against women.

If your "goal" is to make social media better for people ,it's the wrong goal. Social media isn't the focus , people are People have needs and rights. that social media fulfills that we have NOT respected. The goal is to return consent and self autonomy to PEOPLE

Abortion bans are never *just* about abortion. It's about restricting us from our fundamental rights, control, and power.

As we mourn Senator Dianne Feinstein’s passing and honor her trailblazing career, we must also turn our attention to the critical task of filling her vacant Senate seat, which helps maintain Democrats’ razor-thin majority in the US Senate.

We can all joke about how "in this economy" we're choosing to let go of dreams and desires, but for real. We cannot keep letting Republicans and conservatives destroy the lives we've always wanted for ourselves. Liberate abortion, fund child care, paid leave for all, cancel student debt.

Netflix is the largest streaming service in the world and has failed to remove Russell Brand's content. It's easy -- YouTube has already removed his content from their platform, why can't Netflix???

For too long, abusers like Kevin Porter Jr. have been incentivized and enabled by professional sports leagues. It’s time for Adam Silver and the NBA to take a stance: bench Porter w/o pay until the Manhattan district attorney’s office conducts its investigation and the legal process is concluded.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver knows Porter has a sustained history of troublesome off-court actions, separate from this past week’s domestic violence incident; the Houston Rockets know simply trading Porter elsewhere won’t stop him from physically harming more women.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the Qanon conspiracy and the anti-trans moral panic followed immediately after #MeToo. The real concern of women about widespread abuse by powerful men was replaced with conspiracy theories where the bad guys are minorities and the victims are always off screen.
