Made of Spare Parts. Infertility advocate. Talk inclusively about Reproductive Rights. Missouri is nicer than it seems.

Springfield, MO

My name is Angela Crawford.

I went through 3 years of infertility. Because I went through so much pain I needed as much good to come from that experience as possible.

I started an Infertility support group.

This is my story.

When you're Sarah Sanders' hand-picked candidate AND already in business with a pedophile, of course she's gonna get you that sweet, sweet Kid Rock endorsement. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
Trey Bohannan, business partners with a pedophile, gets endorsement from Kid Rock  - Arkansas Times
Whether this changes anything for BoDirt in his race against Sen. Ron Caldwell is anyone's guess, but it's a tone-deaf and darkly ironic endorsement regardless.

Someone told me I should look at Casenet to search the folks who leave all the nasty and disgusting comments for me…

Whoa. It’s almost like the folks who regularly commit domestic violence and child abuse are the same ones who say disgusting things to women on Facebook.

I'm in India and did a walking tour in New Delhi.

No lie, the tour guide compared the East India Company to being like the "Epstein People."

Rich people who were too powerful.

There's no way the Epstein Files every die down.

Tricia McLaughlin is reportedly out at DHS, according to multiple sources. She’s a very close ally of Noem.

That news, plus stories like the below which are coming out daily, strongly suggest the knives are clearly out for Noem inside DHS.

“it’s always a choice when journalists decide to clean up quotes – or not. It’s always revealing which politicians have “uh” or “um” removed...For instance, how often does the mainstream media let Donald Trump’s words speak for themselves?"

Women who hate women have a special kind of hell where their pick me energy finally manifests like a monkey's paw wish.
the new Republican talking point is that it's insulting to complain about requiring women to show their birth certificate and passport in order to vote because they're smart enough to figure it out

Complaining that following the Constitution will stop you from doing the thing you want to do is... an admission that what you want to do is unconstitutional.

You swore an oath to defend the Constitution. You are violating that oath, Rep. Alford. Time to go home and let someone else do the job.

Who would Newsom appoint as AG? Because that question matters a whole fucking lot right now.

Merrick Garland
Matt Gaetz
Pam Bondi

That AG and cabinet appointment matters a whole lot.

If you want accountability, you need a president with a cabinet who is willing to do that.
And look, I get why people feel this way after 2024. The stakes are real. But “I’ll vote for literally anyone” isn’t the flex people think it is. It tells every potential candidate that your concerns don’t need to be addressed. You’re already locked in. Why would they bother?

Even if you fully intend to vote for whoever the Democratic nominee ends up being, there’s a huge difference between doing that quietly in November 2028 and loudly announcing it years in advance with zero conditions attached.
What's the purpose of saying that there's no position so extreme that someone could lose your vote? Especially this far out? You're effectively giving possible candidates the all clear to move as far right as they'd like. This seems foolish.
