US women in 2025:

Get long acting birth control, don’t delay the divorce, make sure your finances are in order and you have cash on hand, make a “go bag”, make a list of trusted contacts, make sure your passports and IDs are up to date. What else?

Abortion isn’t murder but allowing Tierra Walker to die of a common pregnancy complication sure is.
“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas.
Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Last night I watched the local news (rare for me) & they had a story about a man who cut up his wife into pieces & threw her into a dumpster, another about a male nurse who raped a woman in the hospital, & a man who committed a murder-suicide with 3 dead.

Just some local news.😳

And why are men??

It’s hard to watch the Diddy documentary and not think he must have murdered a whole bunch of people, including Tupac, Biggie, and Kim Porter. 😱 I hope 50 Cent has good security detail. 😳

This Native American Heritage Day, we honor the hundreds of generations of Native peoples who called this land home long before we did.

We celebrate their history, their culture and their leadership that continues to this day.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

This is nauseating: “As the emails stretch through the years, they show how that protected realm vanished into the mists of time, pulled under by the rising forces of the internet and the #MeToo movement.” A “Gone With the Wind” framing for sexual abuse and harassment.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.

This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

🚨Attn Pregnant Texans! 👇🏽😡
Ladies. Please spread the word!

1) DO NOT USE any period tracking software or gadgets. They are being used for surveillance so can prosecute abortions (Thiel).

2) HB 7 in Texas: If you’re raped, get an abortion and your rapist finds out. He can now sue you for cash ⬇️

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country

but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.
77 million people voted for this.

And still, this ain’t as bad as his years of baby raping.
Many people are saying Trump gave some dude named Bubba a hummer and there are photos. SAD!

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.
