Video backgrounds matter!

But this whole situation IS really f-ing hair raising.

Wrong.
Restricting access to safe abortions has increased maternal mortality (MM).

Since a limited number of states banned abortions post-Roe, the impact is not nationwide. Also, covid caused a spike in MM prior to Dobbs which impacted the stats.

We all know what he means.

Non-white 10-17 yo: “Try as adult!”

White 10-25 yo: “He’s only a child! You can’t ruin his life by holding him accountable for anything!”

Excellent documentary.
I watched it yesterday. Devo was right. Too bad people didn’t listen to them decades ago…or any time since then.

The stalking all day (probably to her & her friend’s homes) is horrific enough.

These follow up comments, especially how she should be grateful for being the object of his obsession, screams serial rapist or worse.

Someone should check his basement for captives & serial killer trophy items.

Yes, I’ve seen some lovely pictures of her at work & elsewhere. Clearly someone made a conscious decision to use the confusing/misleading image from near term of her 1st pregnancy, instead.

Sadly it helps reinforce common misconceptions about the stages of pregnancy. THIS is a pregnancy at 8 weeks.

Need more reminders to VOTE to keep Canada strong, safe, & independent?

The US has the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world.

Canadians have longer life expectancies, more affordable universities, better quality of life, & lower poverty rates than the USA.

Will non-whites who apply for these baby bucks immediately be put on a list to be deported?

If you or your kids haven’t been vaccinated, do it NOW.

Even getting vaccinated after being infected with measles can reduce the odds of serious illness or death, as long as the vaccination is done within 72 hours of infection.

Vaccines save lives!

Great work at the Tesla protest.

It’s still bizarre to see working class people be-clowning themselves by begging billionaires to hurt them more.

Unfortunately the oligarchs found the movie Soylent Green aspirational instead of a warning.

By all means, the way to make air travel more “efficient” is to fire the safety experts and instead put a druggie whose flying things keep going BOOM in charge of safety.

What could possibly go right?

1. Billionaires sell vital government properties to themselves at a discount.
2. Then those billionaires will charge the federal government outrageous monthly fees to rent back those properties.

The plan is for the rich to grift billions off taxpayers FOREVER.
