🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.

Thoughts and prayers to those who criticized Scientific American's endorsement of Harris on the grounds that "science should stay out of politics". How could they have possibly foreseen what was coming?

The thing that’s most striking about this is that they set up an e-mail account specifically for people to report on each other for any attempt to implement “DEIA or similar ideologies” and threatened “adverse consequences” for NOT reporting.
