@Huntn00 yes. We need good news today. And my Florida has so many front lines to attend to.
@violetmadder@kolektiva.social @MKSinSA impressive animations and stories there.
@violetmadder@kolektiva.social @MKSinSA But we are damned good deniers…🤔

#Abortion- Although I don’t believe women should use abortion like birth control, I believe women should have dominion over their bodies, her choice, and if you think about the #GOP position, “we’ll see to it you’re born, but then you are on your own kid”, and the fact that human numbers are approaching bacteria status on this Earth, we really don’t need huge numbers of unwanted children brought into this world because of biological urges we don’t seem able to control. That’s a fact…🤔
@makkhorn Thank goodness! ⚡️🥳
FABULOUS NEWS ‼️
CLAWED BACK SCHOOL BOARDS
Another progressive trend from Ohio.
2021, conservative activists launched well-funded effort to elect far-right to local school boards.
Discovered late how robust this effort was, it appeared that surge would sweep MAGA sorts to victory everywhere.
But failed.
Most conservative education board candidates lost in Ohio—even in conservative districts.
SIMILAR school board election outcomes occurred in 2022 and 2023,
- from WISCONSIN,
- ILLINOIS,
- NC. ‼️

@MKSinSA @violetmadder@kolektiva.social Bunkers for the rich- That will work great until a mob appears, normally I’d say with pitchforks, but thinking of #TheDirtyDozen, pours gasoline down the air vents followed by a grenade. 🤔

Great article and sitting at the helm are our billionaires who believe this supercharged tech will save them as they and their cronies blast into space.
"Another election night, another resounding victory for abortion rights in a red state. It is yet another confirmation that the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision has created a revolution in American politics, the scope of which is even today only dimly perceived in most national political debates."

"Literally preaching to the choir served them poorly when it came to properly understanding the state of American popular opinion. And by arguing for over 50 years that abortion is 'murder,' Republican politicians have zero room to try and sell a 'compromise' that might soften voter anger. If abortion is murder at 38 weeks, it’s murder at 16 weeks, and it’s murder at one week."

"By actually delivering what Republican politicians had long promised their voters, the Supreme Court ensured Republican electoral losses in the 2022 midterm elections, and the repercussions continue.
It must’ve been quite the shock to the theocrats in states like Kansas, Kentucky, and Montana to so handily lose the abortion issue at the ballot box."
