For those who voted “their conscience” in 2016, and found eleven billionty reasons why they couldn’t vote for Hillary, and how we “couldn’t scare you with The Court”…
Are you scared yet?
They heard arguments about the Mississippi Abortion Law.
Don’t be delusional….not just about abortion….they will be coming for birth control next.😒
Justice Thomas saying the quiet part out loud… substantive due process rights originate in the discredited Lochner doctrine…
this won't stop at abortion. All of the rights linked to SDP are at risk with this Court.

The folks saying they want to take us back to 1950 have not been paying attention.
They want to take us back to *1850* – before the 14th amendment and when the only people with any rights at all were White men.— THEE Harmless Artist (@DunhillPage) December 2, 2021
Justice Sotomayor interrupts to raise the right of "a woman to control her own body," mercifully ending this 12-minute interlude of men debating abortion amongst themselves. pic.twitter.com/B91xPqU66q

If the Court overturns or guts #RoeVWade, it opens up attacks not only on the right to choose, but also on contraception, on our marriages, our children and families. Our right to privacy and personal autonomy is fundamental to our freedom as Americans.

Listening to the SCOTUS today was a gut punch. Not only was it the near certainty that a group of extremists were about to succeed in their decades long campaign to take away a basic right of every American woman. It was also that so many of the justices lied to get confirmed.

Justice Barrett suggested that forcing a woman to remain pregnant against her will is no big deal in light of so-called “safe haven” laws permitting mothers to abandon their newborns without adverse legal consequences. She seemed oblivious to the Sophie’s Choice that presents.

For the folks in the bleachers:
It was never going to stop with Roe.
They're going for the last 70+ years of civil, voting, and women's rights and for the federal mechanisms that guarantee those rights and enforcement of those protections.
Vastly different rights based solely on location
No longer a country. https://t.co/VYNJ32aEUG

It's the ultimate in control. Control when she has a child and with whom and it determines many other aspects in her life. Income, schooling, ability to work, where she lives, all of it. It's the homerun of control.

Today as you watch our highest court with two known sex offenders and a complicit handmaiden dismantle the rights to body autonomy for women, please remember how all your so-called conservative “good guys” like Radio Free Tom and Morning Joe supported Kavanaugh.

One day I hope Amee and women who think it’s ok to invoke anything having to do with slavery- to the consequences that happen when your demo votes for shit- realize calling on that trash behavior is not “disagreement”. It’s kindly asking to pimp OUR trauma for your decisions. https://t.co/Ar4HRV5Hnc pic.twitter.com/gKgex0bIx8

When one of these jokers who proudly said they voted for Jill Stein, Trump, Harambe or just didn’t vote at all in 2016 start crying about Roe v Wade (or anything else) you just look them in the eye and say “What’s the problem, we can afford to lose an election!”

"Why won't the Democrats protect Roe?"
You could've in 2016.
SCOTUS wasn't enough of a reason to vote for her though.
Now we have Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett.
NOW you're shook and want something done.
Fuck you. You were warned.
— DFW Sports 4Life (@Kennymack1971) December 1, 2021
They want an easy button to fix the shit that their sorriness and apathy creates.
"EXPAND THE COURT NOW!"
All you had to do was vote for the candidate who wouldn't have appointed Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. Problem solved.
But we're not supposed to talk about that.

Abortion will become illegal in Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona the moment the Supreme Court overturns Roe (they never repealed their pre-Roe bans). And that happens next summer.
Good Morning, Everyone :) : )

The biggest myth on this website is that Democrats can change a few words in their messaging and unlock the white working class. Messaging effects are super limited, it doesn’t work like that at all. People still know the Democratic Party stands for helping Black people.

Just to give you a sense of how well deplatforming works:
Trump — or, Scavino posting as Trump — has been posting nonstop in his personal site (24 Twitter-like posts in the last three days) and you probably haven’t seen a single one of them.
