It sounds like I’ll have to do that regardless right? The shuttles mean I can forgo security ?
Appreciate the advice!

I hope so! Someone else said I could exit and cross the street over rather than go all the way around so I may try that 😩

Ok I need help from people who know LAX: is there a quick way to go between terminals 2 and 7 without having to go through security again? I have a connecting flight this afternoon and just under an hour to make it 🫠

This isn’t just about one speech or one schoolβ€”we are in a make or break moment that will determine whether abortion becomes not just illegal, but unmentionable.

What we do now matters.

Republicans don’t just want abortion illegalβ€”they want it unspeakable.

Recently, these supposed free speech enthusiasts got an abortion providers' speech canceled at Texas Tech claiming it would constitute β€œillegal activity.”

So we're giving her the platform conservatives took away.

TL;DR: WTF Is Going on in Tennessee Five bills you need to know about

Incredible find from @rachelwells1.bsky.social: Tennessee Republicans are trying to codify fetal personhood through an AI regulation bill

Also in today's newsletter:

25% of House Republicans in Georgia cosponsored a bill to charge abortion patients as murderers, and the Kentucky GOP introduced a bill to do the same.

In both states, that could mean the death penalty

Publicly supporting women is nice, but what really matters is what men do behind closed doors. What matters is how they hold each other accountable.

The men’s hockey team shouldn’t get a pass because they were in the locker roomβ€”that’s where women need their support the most.

It's the normalization I worry about most. Talking Points USA is a powerful group! The fact that they're seriously hosting dudes who want to execute women is...distressing.

Mainstream outlets are also platforming them: Kentucky's Courier Journal ran an op-ed by an 'abolitionist' a few months ago

I'm seeing more of these 'equal protection' bills every legislative sessionβ€”and more cosponsors. (They just intro'd one in Illinois, of all places)

Also: one of the gubernatorial candidates in Tennessee is an 'abolitionist', and the Republican party platform in Texas calls for equal protection

I'm not naming these guys or their orgs because they thrive on attention, and because I'm already getting threats from their followers. (But they're not hard to find)

I've been tracking 'abolitionists' since the end of Roe, and I'm telling you this is where the the anti-abortion movement is headed

Turning Point USA hosted an event in Alabama recently with two leading abortion 'abolitionists' - extremists who want abortion patients punished with the death penalty.

Legislators in over a dozen states (and counting) have introduced their bills.

This is no longer a 'fringe' movement

The Unstoppable Alysa Liu Watching a young woman be free was the joy I didn’t know I needed

I don't follow figure skating, so I couldn't figure out why I started sobbing while watching Alysa Liu's gold medal-winning performance.

Then it dawned on me: I was watching a young woman be free.

Tennessee Gubernatorial Candidate Wants Death Penalty for Abortion Patients 2.18.26

I've said it before and I’ll say it again: their extremism is getting more explicit by the day. Punishing womenβ€”which used to be an untouchable issue within the anti-abortion movementβ€”is now being discussed freely.

Meet Rep. Monty Frittsβ€” a Tennessee lawmaker running for governor. If you’re one of the millions of American women who’s had an abortion, he thinks that you should be given the death penalty
