Hey. Even if you avoid politics & news like the plague, VOTE. Even if there isn't a candidate you believe is the answer to all our woes (they don't exist), VOTE. Respect the fights that women and POC had to go through to achieve the right to vote. RESPECT THE STRUGGLE & respect your people. VOTE.

"Since 1973, 11 abortion providers and clinic staff have been murdered, and 26 others have survived attempted murder. There have been 42 bombings, 206 arson attacks, more than 600 cases of assault and battery against abortion clinic staff, and four kidnappings. Abortion providers ... fear violence."
In the two years since Roe was overturned, there were more than 750 cases of obstruction of a clinic, nearly 300 death threats or threats of harm, and more than 600 cases of trespassing.
Abortion Providers Have Faced Hundreds of Death Threats Since Roe’s Fall
A chilling report on the spike in violence against abortion providers should concern us all.

So, local cops conducted a warrantless search of Luigi's backpack, realized they screwed up, admitted it on camera, put the backpack in a patrol car NOT sealed in an evidence bag (an 11 minute drive with no bodycam footage available), then searched the backpack again at the station and "found" a gun

at McDonald's even after he was removed from the restaurant by other officers and driven to the precinct. During this continued search at McDonald's, Patrolwoman Wasser recovered a gun magazine loaded with bullets. Now realizing she had made a potentially devastating mistake by
thoroughly searching the backpack of a murder suspect in a significant New York press case
without a warrant, she suddenly stated that she was searching through the backpack at McDonald's to make sure there "wasn't a bomb or anything in here" before putting the backpack in the car. The
falsity of that comment was made clear seconds later when another officer at McDonald's stated
"Now that we found that [i.e., the loaded magazine], let's just bring it back" to the precinct.
Suddenly not concerned about a "bomb," Patrolwoman Wasser placed all the items back into the
backpack and stopped searching. Patrolwoman Wasser repeated her comment that she was making](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nywb5oene54cllowkfwouxzz/bafkreidr6h7nfhlc6gmfwmubtieiggbqmgm42khqtii2dazwfftvblmbxm@jpeg)
