Thank you for raising this alarm! This is just another part of the Administration's war on women and it's life-threatening for women having miscarriages!!

So will condoms be illegal, too? Contraceptives in general? How about rapists, such as the one in chief? Will that be allowed to cross state lines? Hmmm?

Male masturbation is mass murder? Conceivably.

The Comstock Act appears to be so mired in outdated technology and systems that it is Swiss cheese. It is also so broad in language, that numerous unforeseen (back then) activities in common use today would be illegal, have been illegal according to the law, and is rarely if ever enforced.

How could SCOTUS use an act violated all day, every day to ban abortion pills? As a kid in the 50s, we sneaked peeks at pals' daddy's Playboy Mag, which was, in some cases, delivered by the post office. Doubtless Amazon delivers sex toys. Lots of medication is mailed, not just abortion or contraception pills. Ask any diabetic.

Another issue is the assumption that life begins at conception. Yet, until born alive, one is not recognized by any state as a citizen. No birth certificate, voter ID, baptism, passport, driver's license, etc., can be issued to a fetus before it takes a breath outside the womb. Is SCOTUS that dum?

Why can't Congress vote this stupid act invalid?

Selective reading of the law, just like selective reading of the Bible, is a specialty of the self-righteous Right. This comes from the party that protects child rapists from investigation, let alone prosecution; turns a blind eye to child and spousal abuse; and feels the law does not apply to themselves, so will make no apology for using the very same "abortifacients" they ban for the general public.

We as a people are systematically being reduced to imbecilic drones who shut up and do what they’re told.

We’re being dumbed down and metaphorically handcuffed so that we can be the good little slaves we are intended to be by our rulers.

We work for our keepers, eat what we’re told (and can afford), we procreate on order (keeping the acceptable race of population at a viable level), and we obey the authorities who make the laws which govern our imperial world.

Education should be limited to performance of assigned duties and communication between drones is limited to work instructions that cannot be accomplished by machinery who are even cheaper to maintain and more efficient.

Our masters seem to be confused as to why “the people” even exist in the first place. They seem to be in a quandary as to why humanity is even necessary for producing anything but trouble for our great leaders who have become higher and better than merely human.

Our duty to the glorious new world is to basically shut the fuck up and do what we’re told until they figure out what to do with us as a whole. Stay tuned…

Toxic masculinity, aka patriarchy is on the move and gaining ground, and it is frightening because no one, not even males, will be safe. Whiskey Pete's testosterone injection for the military is just a start, the anti DEI campaign is part of it.

Males deemed unfit will be discarded.disenfranchised.

And we have only two chances to turn it around, Nov 2026 and Nov 2028, and increasingly the odds are stacked against us, gerrymandering, voter suppression laws, armed poll watchers in select voting districts, voter caging, the USPS handling of mail in ballots, removal of our relocation of ballot drop off boxes, MAGA election commmissions and commissioners, voter ID laws and restrictions.

The only way to overcome the obstacles is for the Democrats to overwhelm the system, but first we have to fight the Democratic party itself, it is too establishment, too beholden to donors, and too invested in defeating progressives, even if it means a Republican winning.

I've got my eye on a couple of elections The Senate in Michigan and the Senate seat in Maine.

Maybe all the charges aainst Graham Platner are true, but it is also true that the Democratic Party was so terrified of a progressive, that they ran their own oppo research and publicized it.

Part of the problem is AIPAC. AIPAC's spending this primary season, set new records.

In less than five years, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee has become one of the biggest spenders in American elections, flooding the airwaves in congressional races across the country. https://electionlawblog.org/2026/aipac-one-of-the-biggest-spenders-on-u-s-elections-faces-its-biggest-test/ major contributers are Miriam Addelson and the MerceAnd topping the list is Paul Singer, who recently bought the Venezuelan Oil Company, Citgo for pennies on the dollar and is the prime beneficiary of he capture of PDVSA (Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., besides Donald Trump that is.

Is the Democratic party, the loyal opposition (loyal to who or whom), Time to shove it in their faces and vote 100% for progressives.
