Yes, the MAGA (former Republicans) who say they prize freedom have made plans to interfere with or take away all our most intimate personal freedoms and they are not being quiet about it. We will not be secure in our own households or in our own bedrooms or in the privacy of our doctors’ offices and hospitals. Their invasion of our personal privacy has already started. And the boxes of privacy they are planning to take away also include LGBTQ+ rights and gay marriage. They just can’t leave people alone in their most intimate decisions, except when it comes to gun ownership…Then it’s okay to own any kind of gun without restrictions, as long as it can be used to kill others. Let’s vote to make sure that in this election we stop the steal: VOTE BLUE up and down the ballot shout NO and put a damper on their efforts to invade our privacy and to begin to restore what they have already begun taking away.
If Trump is reelected, one of the goals is to make Federal employees “Schedule F”. Then, he can appoint people (including experts) loyal to him. Then those individuals can use the existing structure to make radical changes. For example, his new FDA could just declare morning after medication dangerous and that will be that. Rinse & repeat across multiple agencies and that will be that. Trump will say he’s not to blame, because it’s the “experts”.
Every voter should be made aware of “Project 2025” and its desired goals.
The only fair way to fight the extreme views of both parties if to require state legislatures to put reproductive issues up for voter referendum. Our abortion laws would probably be different if only the women in the state legislators could vote on the issue. I wouldn’t dream of voting for a liberal democrat, but I would vote for making abortions illegal after 20 weeks of gestation. Better still, the government should just butt out until the murder statutes kick in. Third term abortions should never happen except to save the mother’s life. Nobody should wait that long.
It’s very hard to understand how any adult woman could choose to vote for the forced-birth politicians instead of the party that will allow them make their own decisions about their own bodies.
Theodore Roosevelt said “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
I really doubt that in their quest to take the U.S. back to the 1840s Republican/conservatives would also take away women’s right to vote. Nah, conservatives would never do that…
Both infant deaths and pregnant women deaths are up since Texas made its idiot abortion bans. Infant deaths are up, because infants that have too many defects that normally would have been aborted, cannot survive their defects. Some die immediately after birth. Devastating emotionally and physically to the mother who wanted the child only to see it still born or struggle for a short while before succumbing to its catastrophic defects.
Women dying, because doctor’s and hospital legal departments are more afraid of lawsuits than losing a human life.
Some women survive, but the damage to their bodies is so great that they cannot conceive children in the future.
It does prove with Republicans, cruelty really is the point.
Yes, and the birth of babies who can’t survive, tortured with heroic medical efforts; or babies who will need tremendous resources to be barely alive/profoundly disabled. Sex with men, for a woman, must be looking really not worth the risk
The real on-going steal being committed by the GOP. No member of the ‘Republican’ Party, with their clear unquestioned support for that CONVICTED FELON/COUP PLOTTER and their unforgiveable treason of putting their personal and party’s interest over the betterment of the US and thus, the world, should be elected in any of the coming elections.

We can still remember how
Our country used to make us smile
And we knew that we would see
That we could keep the people free
And maybe they’d be happy for a while
✨
But one November made me shiver
When all the ballots were delivered
Bad news on the doorstep
We couldn’t take one more step
♨
I Can’t remember if we cried
When we read about his blatant lies
Something touched us deep inside
The day Democracy died
So
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
⛎
Did you burn the book of love?
And do you ignore your God above?
Does the Bible tell you so?
Do you believe in justice whole?
Can freedom save your mortal soul?
And somehow you think we don’t already know?
☁
Well, we know that you’re in bed with him
‘Cause we saw you colluding, treason’s sin
You both picked who would lose
Man, we don’t dig these puritan screws
☢
Joe was an aging hero up on a donkey
Alas a pink slip debate made it all go wonky
But we knew he was out of luck
The day Democracy died
♘
Now it’s fifteen minutes we’ve been on our own
And trouble grows fast and more is sown
But that’s not how it used to be
➗
When the jester tweeted it all away
With hatred, lies, and believe what I say…
In a style that came from you and me
⚡
Oh and while the eagle was looking down
The jester sold her sacred gown
We the People were adjourned
No progress was returned
♕
And while Fox lied about the reason
The Supremes laid out a plan for treason
And so began our nightmare season
The day Democracy died
⛅

Gas price melter in a summer swelter
The Cons leavin’ women without any shelter
Equal rights are falling fast
⛔
Freedom and choice landed foul and wouldn’t pass
The cons so pompous outlawing in mass
The jester tweeted all mine at last
☂
Now the carbon air was wafting doom
While oilmen played a drilling tune
We all got up to dance
Ohh, but we never got the chance
⛽
‘Cause the SCOTUS tried to take the field
Would the people refuse to yield?
Do you recall what twitter revealed
The day Democracy died?
☭
Oh, and here we all are in Wiki’s database
Twelve generations host this race
With no time left to start again
➰
So come on Justice be nimble, Justice be quick
Teflon Don spat out his oily shtick
’Cause cash is the devil’s only friend
Ω
Oh and as we watched him on the stage
Our hands were clenched in fists of rage
Fascists bound for Hell
Cast that Satan’s spell
⚒
And as the money flowed into the right
To fund their sacrificial might
We saw Satan laughing with delight
The day Democracy died
☻
We met a World that sings the greens
And we asked her for some happy scenes
But she just smiled and turned away
⚠
We went down to the Justice store
Where we’d won our freedom years before
But the judge there said democracy couldn’t stay
⚖
And in the streets the children screamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The liberty bells all were broken
⛈
And if the three men we admire the most
Thomas, George, and James’ ghosts
Could rise up they’d cry foul the most
The day Democracy died
➿
They were singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day
