You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?
Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

National fury. Keep fighting NOW, and set your sights on Nov 4, 2026:
There will be infuriating stories about Trump and Republicans’ “triumph.” But together, we can write tomorrow’s headlines: National fury. The coming political payback. And we can lay the groundwork for the headline on the AM of November 4, 2026: Republicans wiped out in historic electoral tsunami.
