@TonyStark Worth a listen!
One of the best speeches that I've heard. "There is only us. There is no them. And when someone suggests to you - whomever it may be in your life - that there's a 'them,' run away. 'Othering' is the simplistic, binary way to make and identify enemies. But it is also the surest way to your own self imprisonment."

Such powerful words.

Asking everyone out there to vote blue and to think about the years ahead of their children and grandchildren or a woman who has to put up with this crap of Republicans telling them they can't make their own decisions about their bodies but that Republicans are making decisions about their bodies. Fuck this.

I was confused about this ruling yesterday so I was hoping a reputable source would explain it. Makes sense.

I couldn’t be more glad that Black voters actually have a chance at better representation because that’s what everyone deserves.

We still need to keep our eyes on the courts and vote wisely for Democrats. We don’t need any more Republican-appointed judges gutting the Voting Rights Act.

I came across someone saying they were proud of all the protesting they did when they were younger and that’s fine.

Anyway, one of the things they listed was being proud of stopping America from going into nuclear power and let me just share that this attitude and movement set us back pretty far on clean power and it’s good to look into why. 1/2

It’s hard work to get ballot measures going and especially hard in a state controlled by Republicans. The organizers doing this are trying as hard as they can to protect the right to an abortion.

Here’s their website: https://moconstitutionalfreedom.org

Consider getting involved or supporting them, especially if things are safe in your state.

You may or may not want to waste 3 minutes of your life listening to Susan Sarandon and while I agree with her on points like people suffering unjustly is horrible (although I try to care about all of them, not just one segment), statements claiming one doesn’t need their family who abandoned them (not even sure that’s happening) and “we’re your family” are statements cult leaders make while brainwashing folks.

I kind of hate to quote toot a quote toot but on top of Karoli’s good points, it’s not the “same people.” It’s actually different people. Take a look at Trump’s Cabinet for one or Trump’s federal judicial picks. Come on, people.

The lesser evil argument is weird to me, anyway. I never make it. But if I did think it was a good way to think about it logically, people rooting for the more evil in that case (Trump for the people who are bad at context) are bizarre.

@TonyStark These people want reasons to vote for Biden and they get them every day. At this point, nobody should care about unwinnable people even though Biden it out doing stuff to benefit them, too. Dumbfucks.

There are a few people who run for office that I am continually inspired by. Malcolm Kenyatta is one. Now he is PA’s Democratic candidate for auditor general. Maybe auditor general sounds boring but if you listen to him, it suddenly sounds really cool.

Malcolm talks about accountability, answering to the people, and not to corporate dollars. Keep him in mind as someone to help get out the vote for.

Trump and Republicans get the blame for this. This ruling would have been unconstitutional under Roe, but Trump is proud that he stacked SCOTUS with anti-abortion justices who overturned it. There are many effects of losing those protections, and this is one of them.

As always, don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do.
