Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was “unconstitutional”, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
Any word from Barack Obama yet about why he didn't codify Roe v Wade when he had a supermajority and even though he promised to do it on day one? Or is it just crickets? That's what I thought.

Not one democrat willing to speak out and condemn Pelosi for a backing an anti-abortion candidate and calling for a stronger Republican Party, is everything you need to know about democrats and how much they give af about you.
There's not even an inkling of this sentiment anywhere on the mainstream American left (meaning the Bernie/AOC "left"). They are -- yet again -- in pure lockstep unity with the establishment wings of both parties over rapidly escalating a war with a nuclear-armed power.
Shireen was killed this morning by the Israelis, even though she was wearing a clearly marked “PRESS” vest and helmet.
CNN and the BBC vaguely state that she was “shot dead” and “killed”, while leaving out that the Israelis did the killing. The truth doesn’t fit their narrative.
Democrats who say you're against dictatorships, where are your voices condemning the Ministry of Truth? Even worse are Republicans who say such a propaganda board is needed but it should be headed by someone who's not biased—not Jankowicz. They all need to read the Bill of Rights
A billionaire social media corporation with extensive ties to the world's most powerful government is openly purging critics of that same government's most dangerous behavior. This is so brazen now that if you deny it's happening it's only because you want it to keep happening.
"Content moderation" is the Orwellian euphemism which corporate journalists and liberals (excuse the redundancy) have created for the term "censorship."
It's not a war between Russia and Ukraine. It's a war between NATO and Russia, with Ukraine being used as a pawn, and Ukrainians paying the price of NATO expansion and antagonism.
The last day has witnessed 3 sets of airstrikes:
1. Israeli strikes against the Syrian military
2. Saudi strikes against Yemeni civilians
3. Russian strikes against Ukrainian military installations
Nobody's talking about 1 or 2, because they're business as usual for imperialism
