I already tweeted about this but I don’t care. Watching/listening to @GianmarcoSoresi and @msdanifernandez having a chat about virtually everything is so refreshing and entertaining. You NEED to go listen or watch on YouTube
Refresher on what a “pro-life” agenda ACTUALLY looks like:
- gun safety laws
- taking action on climate change
- protecting LGBT rights
- healthcare for all
- expanding pre-natal care
- expanding mental healthcare
- expanding childcare
- universal preschool
- free school meals
It crazy how everyone just wants to live their lives and be left alone and some people, *especially* the "small government", "get off my lawn" types just won't let us do it. They can't even endure the concept of somebody living a life without their approval.
Som abortion thoughts: I teach sex ed and when I explain the menstrual cycle, I emphasize that if you are expecting your period, it’s one day late, and you take a pregnancy test, if it comes back positive, you are considered 4 weeks + 1 day into your pregnancy.
I will explain this to you slowly: exercising our right to protest is not obstruction of Congress nor an attempt to overturn democracy.
If one were a heinous enough person to do that, they’d likely seek a pardon for it too.
But only one of us here has done that. And it ain’t me
I really wish people would stop drastically using the scenarios of rape or incest as the sole premise for an abortion. A woman doesn’t have to be in a traumatic situation for it to be reason enough. In fact there is zero explanation that needs to be given.
It’s wild to me that a president who lost the popular vote twice, was impeached twice, and then tried to field a fucking coup, got to pack a court with 3 handpicked horrid humans.
Ya know the only president who appointed more in 4 years? Nixon.
Think about how fucked that is
“Reparations?!? nobody alive today was involved in slavery.”
No one has a problem with receiving an inheritance and therefore money they weren’t alive to make. We understand the concept of generational wealth, but somehow generation trauma and poverty aren’t real.
It's a special kind of coddled idiot that thinks any kind of gun control could even possibly make things worse in this country.
"Gun control? Then lunatics would run around shooting up schools and grocery stores, like, every week! Could you imagine? Could. You. Even. Imagine?!"
We must start referring to them as to what they are.
@tedcruz is owned by the gun lobby. Ted (the Miserable Vomitous Mass) even took a knee when Trump called his wife ugly. Ted (the Miserable Vomitous Mass) has no soul.
I assume many of you follow me for entertainment news, and yeah, I don’t talk about politics a whole lot.
But no, you don’t get to avoid this.
There’s no lane for me to stay in here.
When we can get randomly killed in grocery stores, churches, schools, this is on ALL of us.
When people express grief by begging to enact wildly popular common sense measures to try to prevent absolute terror, we’re not “politicizing the issue.” It’s only polarized because a tiny faction has convinced you that freedoms no one needs are worth children’s lives.
Every community in every state will eventually feel this pain. I thought my quiet home town of Coral Springs/Parkland was immune. We weren’t. I have paranoid fears about this happening every time my kids go to school, but the sad truth is they are not paranoid. Gun control now. twitter.com/jaketapper/sta…
It’s hard for me to not be consumed by anger right now. But if there’s one thing I cannot stand it’s racist hypocrites who weaponize the Bible to advocate for the unborn and yet make excuses for mass shootings that kill babies. Burn it all down. This country is trash.
I'm horrified for my wife's students. For her. These things breed a lot of copycats. We've lost more students than police officers to gun violence this year. "Stay safe" shouldn't be something we have tell our loved ones and kids after "love you" when they're going to school.
This isn’t hard, people. Cubans on the island should have the freedom to access information — including information that differs from what the government tells them — so that they can think for themselves and form their OWN opinions.
Like when he fixed Flint? Or saved the kids in the Tunnel? Or when he said he would give 6 bil for world hunger if he got a budget, got the budget, then didn’t send shit?
He’s just a ego driven billionaire who made a good battery. twitter.com/AP/status/1525…
Im not in crypto/message boards but any therapists who have time to comment/help could possibly save a life. As a suicide survivor I wish I could speak to more people today but I just cant. Your rock bottom is not permanent. This is not the end for you.
I am dead serious when I say that I think Amanda Waller is one of the greatest comic book characters of all time, and Viola Davis is the perfect actor to portray her in live-action. I don't even know what this show is, or what her role in it would be, but I need it. twitter.com/DiscussingFilm…
Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. Expand the Supreme Court. Protect abortion rights by any means necessary.
We need all of the above. This is an emergency.
