Oh we’re back to this again, removing women’s uteruses without their permission. Remember when this was a thing in his first term? No one should be surprised but yes, it’s a lot to keep track of. What are we doing here, America???
I can only imagine we’re going to uncover that this sort of eugenicist bullshit got way worse in 2024 (Story is from 2020)

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

I know it’s the goal of the trumpers to make us want to give up but you know who is really making me want to give up? Those fucking dems. Those 8 dems, and the weakest minority leader we could possibly have for this awful time period.

Either @schumer.senate.gov lost control of his senators or he orchestrated this cave. Both are a bad look and he should step down as minority leader or retire. We gave him leverage and he blew it.

One of the things about the East Wing of the White House specifically is that it sits atop the bunker where they hide the president in case of emergency.
