"A Dane County judge ruled last year that the statutes outlaw attacking a woman in an attempt to kill her unborn baby but doesn’t ban abortions. The decision emboldened Planned Parenthood to resume offering abortions in Wisconsin after halting procedures when the SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade."

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.

"In today’s short Media Misses video, we discuss the NY Times calling on Joe Biden to drop out after his awful debate performance but failing to demand the same for TFG. Mark Jacob with Steven Beschloss." - MSM: we can't expect the GOP to act right so we'll hound Biden w/higher (double) standards.

Make sure your registration has not been purged at vote.org, and make sure every Dem and democracy-supporting indie you know is, too.

VOTE. Don't pass, it may literally be your last chance.

Tell people about this 2025 insurrection if you have to bore them to tears. The media's not covering it.

Keep in mind, a fair number of these people sincerely believe that Jesus is coming back any day now. Long-term planning isn't something they necessarily think about.

i think akhil amar reed captures something very important, which is that the roberts court rewrote article ii, which explicitly states that a president can be held criminally liable after impeachment (and which has long been understood to mean that he can be held liable after leaving office)

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

The number of Google searches for Project 2025 skyrocketed after Taraji P. Henson mentioned it during her BET Awards appearance and encouraged the audience watching to Google it. That single black woman did more for liberal causes than all the current DNC leaders and the candidates themselves.

And remember, the Christian Right only took up abortion as a topic after they lost school segregation for good when the IRS went after Bob Jones’ U status, & needed a new issue to rally the troops. 1/x all our issues are intertwined. 🧵

"Today’s city dwellers can easily fall into this same habit of forgetting the value of nature when it’s not there, Mortensen believes, so we always experience it as a “pleasant surprise”. We need it more than we think." Can't wait to see this, he reminds me of my dad. Was relating to what he said.

Proposed definition of #Xtian: Negative connotation referring to persons claiming to adhere to a Christian faith, but whose "faith" exists purely to support whatever moral (or immoral) positions they already hold, rather than an actual guide to how to behave. #Xtians
