I think we need a thread for this.
Personally, I’m alternately scream-crying and processing.

I will move into action mode soon, but first I have to go scream into the void for a long time.

I didn’t think it was going to be today so I’m sitting at the car wash, listening to the radio. Fucking fuck.

I have to say I’m thankful for the leak or seeing that headline unprepared may have ended me.

Fuck everyone who said we were being hysterical or over the top when trump was elected. I guess those are some words I have.

I just raged out with a coworker of mine for a few minutes. He's always eloquent, even in times of anger, which oddly comforts me. He said at one point "Republicans have managed to make themselves both shameful and shameless."
I feel lucky to live in a state that likely will keep pretty broad abortion rights, but we'll see. It makes me sick to think of the amount of people in poverty that this will greatly impact.

So we are just supposed to like work and go about our business when the government has now told us that we aren’t even allowed or capable of making our own medical decisions?
Cool. Very cool.

It makes Walz's re-election much more important.

This draft is just as bad as the leaked version was. Worst fucking case scenario.

It makes Walz's re-election much more important. There are some stronger protections based on case law and things that make our abortion rights harder to untangle but of course if any Republican is elected governor, they will try to do it anyway, for sure. I have to really hope that people see how absolutely extreme Jensen has become in recent years. He's worse than Johnson and Walz defeated him in the widest margin in 30 years so I have hope. It's thin, but it's there.

My heart sank even though I knew it was coming. I am so saddened by the current state of our country.
