2. Some doctors "are encouraging new mothers to increase the amount of milk they pump and breastfeed as much as possible" This is a personal decision and not an option for many parents due to allergies, medical conditions, and other factors https://t.co/O6Njo3W1vn — PolitiTweet.org

Decision overturning Roe could threaten access to IVF: "There is a clear and present danger that measures designed to restrict abortion could end up also curtailing access to the family building treatments upon which our infertility patients rely" https://t.co/pEZyGCYlQt — PolitiTweet.org

That doesn't even count the ~20 total or near-total abortion bans that will snap into place once Roe is overturned https://t.co/8iFmJXP6w2 — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican strategy post-Roe: 1. CLAIM to seek "consensus" and support "reasonable restrictions" on abortion 2. PERSUE a national abortion ban, restrict access to abortion pills, target emergency contraception https://t.co/8iFmJXP6w2 — PolitiTweet.org

12. Some of the textbooks do contain concepts associated with Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Some conservative activists try to equate SEL with CRT. Here is what SEL looks like in practice. This is supposed to be "dangerous" indoctrination. https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ https://t.co/SY7gYeLow5 — PolitiTweet.org

11. Two other reviewers were assigned the same textbook as the Michigan college professor, Jordan Adams, and NONE found any evidence of CRT. https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

10. The other reviewer who claims to have found evidence of CRT in a high school math textbook doesn't live in Florida. He's a right-wing college professor in Michigan He said a textbook "may" contain CRT because it briefly mentions racial profiling https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

8. Allen seems to believe if there is even a passing mention of race or discrimination that means it's CRT. Three other reviewers were assigned the same textbook as Allen and NONE found any evidence of CRT. — PolitiTweet.org

7. One of the reviewers, Chris Allen, is a member @Moms4Liberty, a group that is trying to get a biography of MLK Jr excluded in classrooms in Tennessee. Here objections to the text included that the author "talks about climate change as if it's fact." — PolitiTweet.org

6. Across all grade levels, just TWO of 70 reviewers claimed to find evidence of CRT. Both claims related to high school textbooks. And both of the reviewers have clear ideological agendas. https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

5. Despite clear evidence that DeSantis' claims were nothing more than a hoax, he's not being held accountable for his deception. The Washington Post headline is "DeSantis accused textbooks of ‘indoctrination.’ Here’s what he meant." https://t.co/RNpYhpEwC4 — PolitiTweet.org

4. In each of those 16 REVIEWS of elementary math textbooks the reviewer specifically found there was NO EVIDENCE OF CRT I've listed all 16 responses below THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO AMBIGUITY DeSantis is lying https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ https://t.co/BgPqJtgcZi — PolitiTweet.org

@GovRonDeSantis 2. On April 15, @GovRonDeSantis asserted that a review of math textbooks submitted by publishers found they included "indoctrinating concepts like race essentialism, especially, bizarrely, for elementary school students" In other words, Critical Race Theory https://t.co/zhNf2ggvSu — PolitiTweet.org

1. A 5,895 page document released by the Florida Department of Education definitively proves that @GovRonDeSantis LIED about math textbooks for elementary students Follow this 🧵for the receipts https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ https://t.co/HDQHp5mSUQ — PolitiTweet.org

It’s remarkable how quickly the Senate has acted to protect the privacy and safety of five Justices. It’s something Senators are unwilling to do for millions of women. https://t.co/m3Pknql4bj — PolitiTweet.org

You can argue that Twitter's rules should be more or less stringent than they are now but simply saying: we'll just wait until Congress passes a law abridging free speech is incoherent — PolitiTweet.org
