LaToni Daniel had been held pre-trial in Coosa County Jail in Alabama since 2017. On Thursday, she gave birth to baby boy. Since she has no memory of having sex while incarcerated, her lawyers believe she was raped by a jail employee while unconscious. https://t.co/GoRyIdN81V

Want reproductive freedom? How about having the US join 102 other countries and make oral contraceptives OTC. Women shouldn’t need permission slip from another adult. @CatoInstitute #Cato2020 #DemocraticDebate https://t.co/2geB2yGbs5

Crypto-fuelled political activism at @Human_actionLLC

I caught up with the team from https://t.co/BZ7wqHBnGu while I was in Kentucky, and we talked about why freedom is a radical movement, and what they're doing to help the culture around it.

How is this different from what Maduro did in Venezuela when he turned away foreign aid? "People want to donate diapers and toys to children at Border Patrol facilities in Texas. They're being turned away." https://t.co/8pIKQZCQlN via @TexasTribune

I cannot think of a worse idea than this legislation unless that idea was to just put all social media under full government control.

“It would be up to the FTC to determine what constitutes political neutrality, and big tech companies would not be able to receive immunity…” https://t.co/CtpxWEw8wB

Saying that a social media platform must be politically neutral in order to enjoy Section 230 protections is like saying a nonprofit must be religiously neutral in order to enjoy tax-exempt status.

The #HandmaidsTale, about the government forcing women to bear children to counter a declining population, has resonated around the world. However, a reverse Handmaid’s Tale—coercing people to have fewer children—ought to generate just as much outrage. https://t.co/ixlaCtHvBU pic.twitter.com/7dy5h8uUe6

"It’s no coincidence that family stability is in the worst shape when government’s role is largest… perhaps government could for once have the modesty to correct past mistakes before embarking on new ones." https://t.co/r2KyFseYDD #fertility #civilsociety pic.twitter.com/5cojI9fvdn

Wow. Every single paragraph in this article is just on 🔥fire🔥, and you need to read it, all the way through, several times. It has the deep resounding ring of truth, that only hard-lived truth has. https://t.co/gkRtsx34sV

We're working to build the new state #hemp program from the ground up & we want to hear from the people it's intended to serve.

It’s not a glowing review of Marxism, but it’s certainly sterile and dismissive of how poorly many of those countries she mentioned are faring now 😞 one-party rule, no freedom of speech, usually underdeveloped economies, bloody repression to maintain silent obedience. https://t.co/swkBspdFFR

One of the neat side effects about having so many female candidates is that we can joke about Marianne Williamson's woo without it seeming sexist.
