Failing #Alabama Senator and forced pregnancy enjoyer Katie Britt is now proposing a national pregnancy register that she assures us would not be used to track the movements of pregnant women. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/11/2240194/-GOP-s-Gift-To-Moms-Katie-Britt-Wants-To-Have-A-National-Registry-Of-Pregnant-Women-in-MOMS-Act

@RealJournalism
We need a special refugee program to help women from republican states move to Australia.

@RealJournalism I think the only appropriate response to this is 24/7 monitoring of politicians.

Those fuckers are dangerous.

@grumble209 not all politicians are fascists. That's mostly just republicans. Monitor republicans.

@qkslvrwolf It would be nice to cut down on the illegal transfer of gold bars to politicians, too. So far, that's mostly Democrats.

Fascists are pretty fucking bad. Corruption is bad, too - it's what got the fascists a toe-hold.

@grumble209 I mean, it's "mostly democrats" if you ignore the entire Trump administration and the republicans in SCOTUS, but that seems like a weird choice.

@qkslvrwolf@mastodon.social avatar

@grumble209 Not to mention the fact that when a dem gets caught being corrupt, the dems are the first to go after them, but when a republican is corrupt they circle the wagons and scream they're the victims of a witch hunt.

let's not forget Santos, too.

@grumble209 And if you want to include "undermining democracy", as in trying to prevent people from voting, gerrymandering, and everything else under that umbrella as 'corruption', which I would, then uh...Republicans are winning by a lightyear.

Just look at the all the republican officials who get caught voting multiple times.

Every accusation is a confession with them.

@grumble209 Oh then there's the one sided judge shopping...

Which we can't really talk about without talking about their utter fuckery of stealing the judiciary.

@qkslvrwolf Weird that the Dem party never bankrolls challengers to corrupt Dem incumbents (Cuellar, Menendez) or their designated scapegoats (Manchin, Sinema). One could infer, rightfully, the Democratic Party wants power more than, well, democracy.

Political parties aren't mentioned in the Constitution. They are a cancer, selling policy to their donors and delivering tribalism to their voters.

Corruption is corruption, whether it's for fascists and religious zealots, or for "normal", mainstream billionaires. America deserves better. We can have better, if only we put aside partisan bullshit.

@grumble209 Also they stop when folks actually get indicted.

You have this weird notion that politicians should magically know everything about of their hundreds of colleagues and their staff.

They're still human.

@grumble209 So what have you done recently to get ranked choice in?

Political parties aren't a marriage, they're a bus. One of those buses is moving in the general directoin we want to go, and the other is driving into the middle of a saudi desert and lighting itself on fire.

Pretending "both sides" are the same is as culty as being a magat.
