More on the #MinnesotaShootings and WHY some #NoKingsProtests in #Minnesota were cancelled by authorities. The shooter left cards about the #NoKingsRallies and police were concerned he might target protestors.

The details of the interaction are not made clear... but at some point, police were face-to-face with him, and his cosplay was believable enough to fool even them.

EDIT: Police found a "manifesto" in his car, naming multiple Democratic politicians, as well as #Abortion providers and pro-choice #AbortionRights activists. The shootings were done in the middle of the night, when darkness made it hard to identify if he was a real police officer or not.

The #Trump admin revoked guidance to the nation’s #hospitals that directed them to provide #EmergencyAbortions for women in extreme #medical emergencies.

The 2022 guidance was issued weeks after #SCOTUS upended national #AbortionRights. It was an effort by the #Biden admin to preserve #abortion access for extreme cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies & needed an abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications.

From the ACLU:

"BREAKING: Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced he has ordered the FDA to consider new nationwide restrictions on medication abortion — and that President Trump, not scientists or doctors, will make the final decision."

Sorry guys, men need to stop assuming they have any right to dictate what a woman can & can’t do with her body. Don’t like abortion, fine, you tie a knot in your tubes & women wouldn’t have to worry about it 🤬. Bloody hell, these outdated out of touch attitudes really makes me angry. #AusPol #AbortionRights #WomensRights.

Tony Abbott condemns new bill to improve abortion care access

womensagenda.com.au/politics/l

Women's Agenda · Tony Abbott calls new bill to improve abortion care access an 'assault on our rights'Former prime minister Tony Abbott appeared at an anti-abortion rally against a Greens bill to address barriers to abortion care in NSW.

The #Trump admin on Monday asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to sharply restrict access to the #abortion pill #mifepristone — taking the same position as the #Biden admin in a case that has major implications for abortion #access.

The filing by the #DOJ is odd, given that Trump & a number of his ofcls oppose #AbortionRights — maybe they made an error? Trump often brags that he appointed 3 of the #SCOTUS justices who overturned #RoevWade.

I was 12 when the Whitlam government was elected, and not aware of all of this stuff. But “I am Woman” was released that year, and I’m not sure that any song has ever impacted me so strongly. I hadn’t realised that so many of the Whitlam government’s reforms were straight from WEL.

“Women’s Studies” was one of my majors in the 90s, but by then the “f -word” was disappointingly out of vogue.

While #Trump is illegally ignoring Supreme Court decisions in order to advance his #fascist agenda, #PierrePoilievre, as Prime Minister, would seek to use, for the first time ever by the federal government, the Canadian Constitution's #NotwithstandingClause in order to end what he calls "#WokeCulture" in the #PublicService and in the #military.

But he denies being a "mini-Trump"
