We won’t go back! Tell Buddy Carter we stand for abortion rights! Sign the petition: chng.it/q2dMn6x9dG #BansOffOurBodies #BuddyCarter #RoeVWade

60% of people seeking abortions are already mothers and 75% are living below the poverty line (per Guttmacher Institute).
We need to reframe "pro-life" as being pro paid leave, pro affordable child care, pro affordable housing, pro health care

Let’s send a message to Congress that we’re not going back—EVER. The Women’s Health Protection Act must be codified immediately! Join us on Sunday, May 15 at noon for a march from #ForsythPark in #Savannah. RSVP here: fb.me/e/1PhwshVAh #BansOffOurBodies #ProChoice

It’s not about babies. It’s about punishing women (and all people with uteruses) and controlling our bodies.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana If it was about babies, we’d have free lactation consultants, free diapers, free formula. If it was about babies, we’d have free and excellent childcare from newborns on. If it was about babies, we’d have universal preschool and pre-k and guaranteed after school placements.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana If it was about babies, we’d have excellent and free universal maternal care. You wouldn’t be charged a cent to give birth, no matter how complicated your delivery was. If it was about babies, we’d have months and months of parental leave, for everyone.

I’ve had friends and/or colleagues experience all of these. Without Roe, they’d be dead.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is abortion.
The treatment for a septic uterus is abortion.
The treatment for a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion.
If you can’t get those abortions, you die.
You. Die.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Abortion care is a fundamental human right and we must legislate like it.
The Senate must act before it’s too late.
Abolish the filibuster. Pass the Women's Health Protection Act.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Let’s pass the Women's Health Protection Act to codify the protections in Roe v. Wade ASAP.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.):
"There is no other recourse. We must abolish the filibuster in order to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, and we must expand the Supreme Court in order to reclaim the stolen seats, and restore balance and the faith of the American people."
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Two things the Senate Majority needs to do right now:
1. Abolish the damn filibuster.
2. Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana The SCOTUS draft opinion is deeply disturbing. Overturning Roe would erase decades of progress & endanger health, freedom, & opportunity for millions of Americans.
The Senate must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act without delay to preserve the right to safe, legal abortions twitter.com/politico/statu…
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Right now, senate Democrats can codify Roe into federal law—meaning the Supreme Court has NO ABILITY TO RESTRICT IT IN ANY STATE—with a simple majority vote by passing the Women’s Health Protection Act.
Sinema herself is a cosponsor of this bill. CALL YOUR SENATORS

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana If #SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on #RoeVWade, then the Senate needs to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act, and if we need to eliminate the filibuster to get it done, we should do that too. #WHPA
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana 50 senators could preempt this decision tomorrow by ending the filibuster and enacting the Women's Health Protection Act.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana The memorial weekend in #Irpin, 2022. Absolutely unbearable. The price which Ukraine pays to save free world from the madman and his mad people is enormous. #ArmUkraineNow w the best weapons, our victory is your victory.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Damn it, there are so many things I need to do today. I need to jog, pay my rent, shop for groceries, go to the gym, finish a book, cook dinner for my kid.
But first, I must, FUCKING MUST talk to you about how important yesterday's "Hitler was a Jew" rant by Lavrov was.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana More than 12,000 people listened to our conversation on Russia's use of rape as a weapon of war in Ukraine with @avalaina, @KLevchenkoUKR and @OxfordDiplomat. It's a difficult, but important topic. If you've missed it, here's a recording

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Zelensky also talks about the first 10 Russian soldiers charged by Ukraine for war crimes committed against civilians in Bucha. He says of Russian troops who tortured and killed Ukrainians: “We will find everyone.”

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Few countries are as effective with linkage diplomacy as China is.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Put another way, China is not the SEC. Elon Musk can't give Beijing the middle finger as easily as he does a US federal agency.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana If Elon Musk thinks because he's the world's richest man that he can tell China to piss off if Beijing ever starts leaning on him about Twitter, he'll find out how efficiently the Chinese state can gobble up that Tesla Shanghai factory, taking with it as much IP as it can.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Elon Musk has a Tesla factory in China and he wants to sell more cars there, as many China observers note. What happens if Beijing leans on him about say, a Uyghur or Hong Kong activist account? Or about Chinese disinformation bots leveraging this platform?
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana It will allow the Kremlin to finance all expenses without problems for at least 1.5–2 years, including the conduct of hostilities by the Russian Army in Ukraine and the indexation of social benefits. 3/8
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana If there will be no instant abandonment of Russian oil and gas, then the average annual price of Russian Urals oil, taking into account the discount and the reduction in physical volumes of exports, will be $70–75 per barrel. 2/8
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Visited a shelter that houses about 50 local residents in the Saltivka District of #Kharkiv today. Yevgheny, an 18 year old university student and competitive rebix cube solver shows @guillaume_ptak, @wilsonfache, and me how he passes his time.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana In the Luhansk region, russians kidnap Ukrainian children and force their mothers to spy on the Ukrainian servicemen under threat of killing kids, the head of Luhansk regional administration wrote. I am speechless #ArmUkraineNow
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana All this hand-wringing at Austin's comment that US wants to see a weakened Russia. Russia has spent the last decade seeking to weaken the US & Europe. It has spent the last two months seeking to erase the Ukrainian state. Weakening Russia has costs, but it is in NATO's interest.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana A look at this map, by NPR's @mulletmapping, shows you this region would be relevant to the war in Ukraine:
-Not far from the Black Sea port of Odesa.
-Shares a 250 mile border with Ukraine
-Fighting could also imperil the north-south route from Kyiv to Odesa.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana I was on hand to watch workers dismantling the Ukraine-Russia friendship statue today in Kyiv — it stood since 1982, now 2 months into the war, this probably isn’t what Moscow had in mind…
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Even in the most devastated places and tough situations I try to pay attention to what gives hope. It gives me the strength to keep fighting.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Two months after Putin launched an unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine, Kyiv still stands. President Zelenskyy and his democratically-elected government remain in power.
We will continue to support Ukrainians in their fight to defend their homeland.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Félicitations à @EmmanuelMacron, un vrai ami de l’Ukraine, pour sa réélection! Je lui souhaite de nouveaux succès pour le bien du peuple 🇫🇷. J'apprécie son soutien et je suis convaincu que nous avançons ensemble vers de nouvelles victoires communes. Vers une Europe forte et unie!
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Remarkable achievement. Macron the first president to win reelection while in control of the government since de Gaulle in 1965. Emphatic rejection of Brexitism/right wing populism. Good news for France and Europe. twitter.com/IfopOpinion/st…
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana ⚡️Zelensky: 'The territory where Russia should protect the rights of Russian speakers is Russia itself.'
A country where there is "no freedom of speech, no freedom of choice, no right to dissent, where poverty thrives and human life is worthless," Zelensky said of Russia.
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana “Stinking bastards,” Zelensky repeatedly called the Russians over the missile attack on Odesa that killed eight people, including a 3-month-old baby, earlier that day.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Today is a world book day. Reading good books can prevent wars, I believe.
And I can explained why.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana This war isn't over, but Ukrainians won the opening battle and they won't give up.
Freedom means more to those who have experienced the alternative, and it's clear — and has been for a long time — that Ukrainians are willing to fight for theirs.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Ukraine’s win in Kyiv simply confirmed what I already knew — no Russian bomb, bullet, or brutality can destroy Ukrainians’ unbending will to fight for their freedom.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Since 2014, I have witnessed, firsthand, how Ukrainians’ pursuit of their democratic dreams laid the groundwork for their resistance to Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana Tomorrow is the 2-month anniversary of the start of the full-scale war.
It feels like a lifetime ago.
Of all my experiences, what stand out most are the innumerable conversations I've had with Ukrainian soldiers & civilians who never wavered in their belief in victory.

Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana @ZelenskyyUa The contrast between Zelensky & Putin epitomizes the difference between Ukraine & Russia. Zelensky is young, open, intimate, empathetic, brave, forward-looking, democratic. Putin is old, distant, paranoid, devious, mean, cynical, mendacious, fake, stuck in the past, autocratic. twitter.com/PaulaChertok/s…
Retweeted by Melissa Nadia Viviana ⚡️Extraordinary >> President @ZelenskyyUa held a press conference in a subway station in Kyiv🇺🇦 before a sea (a tunnel?) of journalists.
Asked whether he's afraid Russians will kill him, Zelensky says, "I don't have any right to be afraid. Because our people aren't afraid.LE
