ok, so they can get voter rolls to send out postcards to remind you to vote or to vote for whoever so we need Republican voter rolls and spam the website with the names of allllllll of the republicans. yes I know, this might hurt some real women in need, if they were to actually go and investigate every single one, so maybe just put in the names and addresses of all the male republicans. lol

And we've all been paying into it all these years. Fucking bullshit. To be clear: The 'pension' fund in the SSA will run out in around 2034; HOWEVER, currently for every dollar going out, $.78 are flowing back in due to the millennial population bubble. This will continue to increase as the silver wave dies off. So we do expect that there will be some form of social security in the future, but don't let that stop you from saving for your own retirement kids! If you want to know who dipped into the SSA pension fund for something, take a look at Mr Ronald Reagan. That administration was truly terrible. That man fucked up EVERYTHING

Jen says FEMA is expanding the types of legal documentation that homeowners or renters can provide to prove occupation or ownership in order to receive federal disaster relief funds, noting that the documentation requirements previously in place were a barrier to Black and brown folks getting needed help after hurricanes and other natural disasters. FEMA is a PITA for all disaster survivors to deal with, I would rather see a major overhaul than these little tweaks, but at least it’s something I guess. Making the incremental changes they can make quickly to help while they conduct the legislative process for broader and permanent change is the right call

goldenbird My understanding is the out of state provider is fine because that's outside Texas' jurisdiction. I'm not sure about the patient. The person getting the abortion doesn’t face any civil or criminal punishment. Theoretically the bio father could if they helped the person get the abortion.

Holy shit, I didn't realize there is an actual whistle blower website. I like this idea: I saw some tweets the other day about this site and how when you enter fake info, you need to make it believable so their algorithms won't be able to sort it out. That's what will really clog the system and keep this from working If you have an iPhone this guy made made an extension that auto-populates random TX zip codes/addresses. vm.tiktok.com/ZMRDdEUKL/

My only thought is maybe this will divide the GQP voters and the Dems will pull out ahead. Or, you know we all end up living in a Texas country.

I am so tired of Democrats just playing by the book and hoping things shake out. I’m ready to fight dirty. It’s the only way. They need to find something on Manchin and Sinema and use that. I don’t care. I’m done. Stack the courts, abolish the filibuster, and start acting like you give a damn beyond Twitter outrage. so much this. Generally i think the pen is mightier than the sword. But not today. Not in this climate.

It's time for the Dems to play dirty, too. There's no reward for being a choir boy right now.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND THINK YOU ARE DUMB BECAUSE YOU KEEP PLAYING BY THE RULES WHILE THEY CHEAT.

I don't think that will work with Manchin. BUT we can make him irrelevant if we win Toomey's seat and keep the 50 we have

Sherrod Brown is a Democrat and does great in Ohio. But Portman is not a Trumpy Republican. If we run a Tim Ryan moderate and they run Jim Jordan we could have a chance. Although CookPR currently gives us a higher chance of taking the Wisconsin seat with Ron Johnson seeking reelection and if he does, we might have a better chance at that one. Biden won WI but not OH. So IDK.

So IDK. Thanks, that's good to know. It just blows my mind that we elected Brown and DeWine in same election. Then 2020 wasn't even close. But I also live in a very specific blue bubble and I forget how red the rest of the state gets. It's hard to get a read on it.

'A grand jury on Thursday indicted a former Georgia prosecutor over her handling of Ahmaud Arbery’s fatal shooting, on allegations she helped shield men now charged with murder in a case that went for months without arrests. Ex-Brunswick Judicial Circuit District Attorney Jackie Johnson is accused of violating her oath of office and obstructing police after the Black man’s death in February of 2020. A viral video of White men chasing and shooting 25-year-old Arbery drew comparisons to a lynching, sparking public demands for accountability and also accusations of a coverup by local authorities. Arbery soon became a rallying cry in a massive racial justice movement ignited by the murder of George Floyd as protests sought justice in high-profile killings of Black Americans. Thursday’s indictment says Johnson showed “favor and affection” to suspect Greg McMichael, who was previously an investigator in her office, and also failed to “treat Ahmaud Arbery and his family fairly and with dignity” when she sought help from another district attorney — now also under investigation — who argued the shooting was justified before recusing himself. Johnson is also accused of obstructing law enforcement by directing that Greg McMichael’s son, Travis McMichael, should not be arrested, “contrary to the laws” of Georgia.'

Also Lyft and Uber said they’d cover all costs if drivers are sued for transporting women to get an abortion.
