This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Getting ready to show this to MAGA family members and ask if this is the kind of country they wanted. Is it worth it? Do they feel more comfortable and safe, or what?

As they seek for further restrict reproductive care, they will invoke "the health of the mother" but the reality is that people who cared about women's health would not allow these policies.

A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

It seems that the liberal tone became too strident, and conservatives got irritated so now the whole country has to pay penance. We are headed into a dark age of forced ignorance, disease resurgence, blatant racism and xenophobia, and austerity. Congratulations, GOP. May leopards spare your faces.

The incoming administration sees (brown) immigrants as animals. They have been clear about that. This is terrifying. radleybalko.substack.com/p/trumps-dep...
Trump's deportation army
The former president's vow to deport 15 million people is the cruelest, most illiberal, most openly authoritarian campaign promise in modern U.S. history. Oh, and it would also destroy the economy.

Just a drop in the bucket, but actions I've taken so far:
- Wrote to my governor to request noncompliance with mass deportation
- Submitted comment to school board asking for increased vigilance of harassment of girls and gender nonconforming kids (e.g. "your body my choice" filth)

💙📚 Just finished this great book: "Superior: The Return of Race Science" by Angela Saini. It is especially relevant in this time of rising white nationalism. The author also did an interview a while back on "This Podcast Will Kill You".

How is everybody's self soothing going? Is there any cookie or cocktail that will make me feel okay about things? Is there any NyQuil strong enough to help me sleep tonight?

"... I asked [the doctor] ... why wasn't I offered a D&C—a surgery that clears the uterine lining after a miscarriage and spares women the physical trauma of experiencing what I did over those two days—or misoprostol—a medication used to treat miscarriages, but also used for medicated abortions?"
Women have died & countless others have suffered since Roe v. Wade was overturned. I wrote about miscarrying in Texas after Dobbs earlier this year--A terrifying, traumatic, and radicalizing experience. I've been incandescent w/ rage frankly since but hopeful our stories make a difference tomorrow.
I miscarried in Texas. My doctors put abortion law first
The pain is so blinding that I think I'm hallucinating. After Dobbs, lawyers, not women's lives, are now the overriding concern.
