I have friends in Poland who hope this passes & is adopted. It's a stretch (conservatives are fighting hard), but they feel it's their only hope, given the draconian laws in their country. It's getting worse & even women who want kids don't want to risk it in their system (ob/gyn care is really bad)
The My Voice, My Choice campaign gets a vote on Wed. in the European Parliament. It would enable women from EU countries that restrict abortion to have free abortions in another member state. It's expected to pass but the European Commission must still decide whether to adopt the proposal.

If anyone was wondering about that manufacturing loss in IN I mentioned (& workers feeling it), IS covered it a bit in the archived article (goes a bit into the [discredited] economics behind Braun's tax bill that passed in April 2025) here--IN has lost 3,500 manufacturing jobs in the last 8 months:

We're seeing it in IN. Part of what happened w/the map. They're not heavily turning on TFG (well, in the 'burbs here in Indy, there's a swing that's poss. good for the 5th if it holds; the 7th [Indy proper] is Dem) but the economy is the sticking point & it's become clear there's no relief* in 1/
This is a big deal, but 8% drop in Trump’s support from MAGA won’t translate into votes for Democrats— they aren’t flipping, but it does reflect a real lack of enthusiasm for Republicans.
If they stay home in 2026, Democrats win.

times have really changed from the days when we were ruled by a wealthy white male reactionary ex-actor who hated queer people, poor people, and women...
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Ignore everything else she said, but continually pointing out he's a *billionaire* is very shrewd.
A lot of MAGA are pissed about these billionaires.
They're still pretty loyal to TFG, but they hate what's going on w/their own money & that he's a billionaire now.
Not like them at all.

No, it's like w/IN--they just need any publicly popular reason. At least IN Sen had a v. publicly unpopular political reason (redistricting) to point to, but these Rs/apologists have all been desperate to cut ties w/this regime to save themselves before mid-terms for a bit, now. They see the end.

i think the media needs to internalize something that is glaringly obvious but also weird and disorienting in a way the media is completely unequipped to handle: trump is not trying to be popular anymore. he is not doing politics anymore. he does not care. he just wants to rule until the music stops

Here is a map of the affected countries (excluding Tonga), to give you a sense of how much this new ban restricts immigration from Africa in particular.
Of the newly-added country, Nigeria faces the largest impact, with tens of thousands of visas issued every year to Nigerians.
