I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.
The woke mob refuses to acknowledge the real threats to this country:
1. Drag queens
b. Elementary school teachers
3. Kids who want to dye their hair pink
4. The clitoris
I volunteer as a translator with asylees coming through the Texas border and I wanted to make a thread on who these migrants are, what help is actually needed and why what DeSantis and Abbott are doing is so needlessly cruel.
Everyone is talking about it, but so few understand
Massachusetts is one of eight “donor states” that pays more in federal taxes than it gets back in federal expenditures (ranks third behind NY and NJ).
Florida, by contrast, is the third biggest “taker state” (behind VA and KY), getting over $50B more than it pays in.
Just sayin’.
You sound insecure. As you should be.
Your attempt to seize bodily autonomy from millions of women & LGBT+ people is a stain on our country.
I don’t care how long you “worked” to seize control of people’s bodies. That right belongs to individuals, not you.
We will not comply.
To recap, the Supreme Court has gutted the civil rights of pregnant people, the voting rights of Black people, the sovereignty of tribal nations, the authority of the federal government to enforce regulations, and the ability of states to enact gun safety laws.
Expand the Court.
I think the biggest flaw in perspective most Americans have is we take our position in the World Order for granted. On an international scale we are DYING. I'm a freak for history and trying to get normal people to understand shit so indulge me for a second while I rant:
Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election.
Let’s start w/ why:
- 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years
- 1 of those seats was stolen
- Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…
For the moments when we DO insist on elections, we must be PRECISE with what we need and we will do with that power:
How many seats does the party need to Codify Roe?
Dems must SAY THAT. Not just “go vote” or “give us $6 to win.” That is demoralizing, losing, unfocused nonsense
This is so much more than a “slap in the face” to women. This is institutional violence and a violation of human rights.
Responding to Christofascism by singing God Bless America and asking for more money? That’s a slap in the face to women.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on SCOTUS ruling: “What this means to women is such an insult. It’s a slap in the face to women about using their own judgment to make their own decision about their reproductive freedom.” https://t.co/hf8JRcr6x9
