If a Republican is elected to the White House, you can expect all that caution to go out the window: every woman of reproductive age in America will have a target on her back — or her uterus…
An insurrectionist is aiding and abetting our enemy!
Isn’t it ironic that the person who encouraged the January 6th insurrection (and refused to stop the violence for 3 hours), the same person who has 91 indictments, is the SAME person who the House Republicans FEAR for their lives, their families welfare & their jobs, to stand up to him and vote their conscience, and what is best for their constituents and our country?
I find it INCREDIBLE that this corrupt, uneducated LOSER and BULLY (and soon to be FELON), is STRONG-ARMING the withholding of aide to Ukraine, OUR ALLY! and is essentially siding with our ENEMY, Putin, and he isn’t even in office!!
HOW can his actions NOT be considered TREASONOUS?
And aren’t those doing his bidding ACCOMPLICES ? By voting AGAINST what our country stands for - standing with our ALLIES and protecting our country’s democracy - they are putting our country in danger!
An insurrectionist is aiding and abetting our enemy. Isn’t ANYONE going to do anything about it before it’s too late?
I want the anti-abortion cultists in SCOTUS and Congress to explain how forcing their menu and revenue-driven interpretation of Christianity on the rest of us is somehow promoting our general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty to us and our posterity. In other words, are they really fulfilling their Constitutional purpose by doing things adverse to our citizens' reproductive rights and our communities’ interests?
And doesn’t it feel like they are stepping on the 1st Amendment a bit as in “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion?” Legislating behavior based in a 1970’s conspiracy (between the GOP and the televangelists using what passed for mass media at the time) smells like just more grifting in the name of the lord. But now with 21st Century knowledge, reach, and speed.
It is not just abortion. It is EVERYTHING. Have you ever said anything online disparaging about Trump? His family? His followers? If Trump is elected, his goons could come after us all. And I know we all think that we are too small a fish to fry. BUT. Have you seen how Trump goes after anyone he perceives as unfriendly to him? Anyone who criticizes him? As Dictator Trump, he will have massive resources at his disposal. Remember those 10s of thousands of people aka “vermin” he said he would round up into internment camps? He said deportation camps. But if he goes after people like us, who are American citizens, there is no place to deport us to. How far is it to instituting a “final solution” for “dissidents in the USA? As well as LGBTQ and people of color? It could be us. We can not be complacent about this threat. It is real.
Meanwhile Musk and others with wealth and power are attempting to stop their private flights being tracked (see ElonJet). Also, Ted Cruz wants the FAA reauthorization bill to include a provision for the private airport screening of major politicians and their families. Apparently poor women (you know it won't be rich ones or men) can be tracked if they commit a "crime" but those with power can live and move anonymously.
There is eventually going to have to be an Underground Railroad to get women out of these states, as there was to get slaves out of (the same) states. At some point, the Republicans will try to prevent women of child-bearing age from leaving. It's coming, as is a civil war for similar reasons to the first civil war. They wanted to extend slavery to the non-slave states, just as they want to extend anti-choice to the choice states. This time they are doing it through lawsuits and attempts at national bans. They have a corrupt and ideological SCOTUS backing them - just as they did before. Slavers are no longer allowed to enslave black men, but there is nothing in the constitution to prevent them from enslaving women. The ERA was thwarted because they told scared conservatives that "men and women will be forced to use the same bathrooms." These are the exact same states and descendants of the exact same people who tried to force the United States into becoming a total slave country. They are at it again.
"Longer term, they also want to target women seeking birth control. . ." Indeed, they've explicitly stated that their ultimate goal is to overturn the ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut and in the process also blow away the decision in Loving v. Virginia. Never forget what's at the core of the Republican approach to legislation and adjudication: There is no right to privacy.
This is simply atrocious, that this level of interference of privacy has been allowed . It’s clearly time to expand the Court to counteract these bought and sold Republican ‘ Justices?’.
This level of interference is absolutely disgusting and totally unacceptable . The fact that its invasion of privacy is pointed to women alone , makes it illegal. It’s discrimination pure and simple . If these jackasses want to know everything private in a persons life let’s turn this law around and have unfettered access to their lives. Every day we become more aware of the consequences of this Nationalist Religion BS
Wonder why they aren’t tracking men who buy condoms and prosecuting them because they MIGHT use them. Because if they do, they are preventing those sacred sperm from performing what God clearly intended, that humans increase and multiply, and have sex only for that reason.
Caveat: all these laws and my fantasy above do not apply to the morbidly rich. Laws are for the little people, after all.
Controlling women seems to be the purpose. However, I think killing women is the focus and desired cruel result which forms of control make possible. They do not desire laws clearly defined and easy to follow and know. They seek a fog of war where nobody knows what will happen if they do something any right winger prosecutor will take as breaking the law where nobody knows where the rules of the law exist. They spread their influence by a lack of knowledge of what would happen if they do anything they are not down with. This maximizes their influence and social control.
“Longer term, they also want to target women seeking birth control who, instead of being in the workplace or college, Republicans believe should be at home barefoot, pregnant, and in full-out tradwife mode.”
The problem with that…Employers have gotten used to paying low wages and existence of few unions that push for higher wages nor do employers want to cut price tags on their products.

Support Biden/Harris.
Vote blue up and down the ballot.
Bring your friends and families.

Where is the Constitution?

No, because the apps are feeding real GPS based location data at all times.
This is the most salient reason not to use a cell phone, except for emergencies, then a flip phone will do.
I know too many people just can't live without their little screen, and keeping on top of every stupid tweet or DM.
I don't own a cell phone, and don't even know how to turn one on, and get by just fine with my landline (home phone to the new breed).

This post made me physically ill.
This is beyond fucked up! FUCK THESE CHRISTOFASCIST MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!

I thought there was separation of Church and State in the Constitution?
Either you have a Law or you don't!
