Last night, I had the honor of speaking with my union brothers and sisters at the Mercer CLC Spring Fling about the state of the nation and the importance of this moment in the history of the labor movement. https://t.co/QqFXXuZLB6 — PolitiTweet.org

“It made me feel less confident.” “It stripped, like, a little bit of myself away at that point.” “It made me feel low, like humiliated in a way.” Black students need the CROWN Act. The Black community needs the CROWN Act. America needs the CROWN Act. https://t.co/NwknOjf77C — PolitiTweet.org

Those who wish to revoke women's bodily autonomy have been working at this for 50 years and despite overwhelming support for the right to an abortion in all or most cases they won't let that stand in their way. — PolitiTweet.org

Overturning Roe was PART OF the GOP plan for 50 years. But it's the beginning, not the end of the plan. Alito's argument attacks the basis of the right to privacy. That right has secured: Right to Contraception- Griswold v. CT, Eisenstadt ... 🧵 https://t.co/kXjAttr92d — PolitiTweet.org

It's #NationalNursesWeek. Nurses are often overworked and under-respected, but hospitals couldn't function without them. They are the front line and backbone of our health care system. Thank a nurse today. — PolitiTweet.org

Every worker deserves a union, and the hard-working staffers who keep Congress running are no exception! @RepAndyLevin's resolution is long overdue. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be clear — safe abortions will always be accessible for the wealthy, privileged few. The Court's draft opinion overturning #RoeVWade is a direct assault on people of color, the poor, and the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

I’ve passed 5 bills out of the House this Congress with bipartisan cosponsorship on topics from racial justice, to homeland Security, to Mental Healthcare. But I’m not willing to wait around for Republicans to finally decide that women have a right to bodily autonomy. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm saddened to hear of Norm Mineta's passing. Known for creating the TSA during his tenure as Transportation Secretary, Mineta was a trailblazer, a champion for Japanese Americans, and a true public servant. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Like @SenatorCollins, it seems like @lisamurkowski feels betrayed by the far-right #SCOTUS. Both GOP Senators have the opportunity to keep #RoeVWade intact. All they have to do is vote to end the filibuster and pass the Women's Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

.@SenatorCollins seems appalled by the #SCOTUS's draft opinion, and with good reason! I, too, am disgusted that the Court is poised to set our country back 50 years. Fortunately, the Senator has the opportunity to right this wrong by voting to end the filibuster and codify Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

The maternal mortality rate for Black women in the United States exceeds most of the industrialized world. Almost 3 times as high as other women. In a nation that denies healthcare as a right, the Alito opinion is a death sentence. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm still not over last night's news. We have made too much progress as a nation to backslide to a time when the law treated women as second-class citizens. Time is running out for the Senate to abolish the filibuster and write reproductive freedom into federal law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

I also want to make it clear that earlier this year New Jersey passed the Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act which codified a woman's right to choose into state law. Whatever decision SCOTUS makes, a woman’s right to choose will remain the law in NJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman @RepBonnie

NOTE: this is a draft opinion. Abortion is still legal, and it's still a right. But in case my colleagues needed another reminder: the clock is ticking. We MUST end the filibuster and make the Women's Health Protection Act law. — PolitiTweet.org
