Saw a post on a different platform saying states should vote on abortion.

My eyes rolled so hard I think they're stuck.

Full reproductive freedom should not depend on zip code.

Either people with a uterus are free like those without -- or we're not and that's a goddamn problem.

#Republicans accuse LGBT of being #pedophiles so that you don't notice who the real pedophiles are.

It’s really pathetic that the Republicans would rather run on a platform of hatred than actually trying to solve any problems.

Republicans need to stop meddling in peoples' personal lives. Full stop.

This International Women’s Day kinda feels like a slap in the face. Why? Because America has taken drastic steps back in women’s rights of late.

1) In 2022 women lost their fundamental right to control their own bodies with Dobbs and numerous states have since banned abortions and moved to ban common forms of birth control.
2) In the past few months we’ve seen outright legal attacks on the ability of trans-women to simply exist. Trans-women are women.
3) In 2022 the pay gap got worse for women.

@GottaLaff One of the things the media needs to do is properly frame the changes. These aren’t tax increases, ( #Biden ) they are the removal of tax breaks and subsidies to corporations and high income earners. It is restoring the fairness of the tax system.
