I have burnout so bad this is the first night in a week I came to bed and didn’t immediately burst into tears. Next goal is to actually manage to not hide by 8 pm every night.

I haven’t gone in depth yet but the reality is that there is pretty much nothing I’ve been told so far about project 2025 that isn’t already happening in AL. The scary part (for most people) is that the rest of yall will experience it, too

This popped up in my FB today and I forgot how the first few weeks post Dobbs felt.

Now, it's just ... normal. This is how it is. This is what we do.

The anxiety I see on my face talking about what is now a day to day reality. No wonder I feel terrible constantly.

You know how breathing is automatic and you don’t think about it but if you stop and make yourself, you notice it and if feels weird and unnatural until you can stop thinking about it again, but you have to make yourself stop thinking which makes you think more? That’s me. But it’s fear.

He could actually woo some people back if he’d just say “the first thing I will do is add x # seats to the court” and he can’t even take that low hanging fruit.

Just getting caught up on this immunity ruling and can some explain how it wasn’t a conflict of interest to have the three justices he literally gave lifetime jobs to ruling on this issue?

With 100m, each banned state could operate at least one clinic in their state dedicated solely to before and after abortion care to make it easier for traveling patients or those who self manage at home. For four years. Even longer if there was additional support.

Those men would have to literally die in the bench to allow themselves to be replaced by a Democratic president and if there isn’t a senate majority it won’t matter anyway - the GOP will just go back to saying the Court doesn’t need to be 9 bodies, just like Cruz did in 2016

If Alabama (where our ban went into effect a few months ago after a lot of back and forth in the courts) is any indication, SCOTUS is going to use the same states rights argument as with Dobbs, since that’s what the 11th did.

I’m just saying if you are participating in any Dobbs action in a blue state, please also send a donation to an org in a banned one… We are hurting bad. Please don’t just use our pain to fundraise.

So allegedly they made the food and rather than have it at the event between 1-1:30 like they were supposed to they ignored all phone calls prior and called at 2 to say the food was ready and someone should come pick it up. At a place 30 minutes away each direction. For a shower that was 1-4pm. :/
