For the pro-choice men out there ready to step up, a 🧵:
7 years ago I helped launch & now serve as Co-ED of @Men_4_Choice, the only org in America (to our knowledge) focused exclusively on activating, educating, mobilizing male allies in the fight for reproductive freedom.

Rand Paul called for Alvin Bragg to be thrown in jail if he indicts Trump.
This isn’t just a random tweet & @GOP attacks on Bragg aren’t just normal partisan politics.
It’s all part of the party’s slide toward authoritarianism…

Successfully enabling a
non-military autocratic takeover requires 3 things:
You alter electoral rules to limit the ability of the opposition to win (voter suppression).
You weaken or silence dissent (change libel laws, press = enemy of the people, jail journalists).

And, you impair the independence of the judiciary & eliminate it’s ability to check your power.
It’s not enough to simply capture the courts (stealing Supreme Court seats), though that helps.
You must also attack the independence of prosecutors.

You do this in 2 ways…
First: appoint loyalists to sweep your crime/corruption under the rug and/or go after your political opponents.
Second: Ruthlessly attack prosecutors who challenge you, including intimidation & threats of prison (or violence in extreme cases)…

…in order to raise the cost of challenging power.
Look at every country that has lost its basic democratic structure over the last few decades.
The # of prosecutors willing to investigate/charge autocratic party leaders rapidly declines until they’re almost non-existent.

Think this can’t happen here even as you watch the cultish autocratic slide of the @GOP?
What else “couldn’t happen here” that’s happened over the last few years?
An insurrection couldn’t happen? Roe couldn’t be overturned? We always have peaceful transfers of power?

This isn’t just partisan politics.
It’s part of the broader autocratic movement now in control of the GOP.
We have to be clear about the threat these ideas pose to our democratic systems.
END
(Read the thread below to understand why the GOP will keep going down this path)
A short 🧵on why the @GOP will continue to pursue authoritarian strategies in America:
The @GOP, as constructed, can’t fire up its base & expand the appeal of the party at the same time.
Why? The biggest driver of base turnout for them is an ethnic nationalist culture war.

I’ve been writing a lot about how desperate Republicans are to keep voters from having a say on abortion.
The latest comes out of Ohio, where anti-abortion activists are SUING to stop a pro-choice ballot measure

The Affordable Care Act was passed into law 13 years ago today, granting millions of previously uninsured Americans access to affordable healthcare.
Thanks, Obama!

US maternal mortality rates increased for the 4th year in a row, with Black women being most impacted (regardless of their economic status).
Perhaps it’s not the best idea to make access to reproductive health care harder?

Hard to overstate how important this piece from @ilyseh is to understand what’s happening in America right now. The massive effort to ban/criminalize abortion & the attacks on our democratic principles are deeply interconnected.

If you’re looking for consistent logic from the “Lock Her Up!” crowd on a potential Trump indictment, you’ll be disappointed.
The real question is how many indictments in how many jurisdictions would it take for folks to walk away?

One week from today. Chicago, who is coming with us at @Men_4_Choice to ensure a pro-choice Supreme Court in Wisconsin?

What @amyspitalnick said.
We should be very clear about the white supremacist conspiracy theories and extremism underpinning Trump’s lies:
“The Black Manhattan DA - who, of course, is funded by Jews - will arrest me, so my supporters should violently fight back like they did on January 6th.”
