We haven't done a General strike. Republicans suck, but even Dem MOC went home last Thursday evening, as though we are not in an emergency. Time for most of the powers that be to get shook up by we the people.

The dick of the day trophy goes to Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy for suggesting that his state’s maternal death rate would be absolutely fine if they would just stop counting all of the Black women.
The GOP is nothing without its abject racism.

Justice Thomas is wrong, again. The crucial bond that has been broken is that the public can no longer trust the word of multiple Supreme Court Justices. Multiple conservative Justices misled the American people under oath about their views of Roe in order to get confirmed. twitter.com/CREWcrew/statu…

Conservatives, it's probably about time you come to your senses and realize you're going to be equally fucked by Earth breakdown. As things get worse you're going to do it eventually anyway, may as well do it sooner so we can all be less fucked

So what if a 16 year old tried to adopt a baby? She can't, she's not mature or financially stable enough to adopt a baby. But if she's pregnant, she has to raise that baby. Tell me how this makes sense.

At this point I don't even think it's "what we do in the next 3-4 years determines the fate of humanity." I think we're at the "what we do in the next few days, weeks, and months" phase. Because if we don't start now, what chance next year? Join the movement, let's fight together
