Gwen’s points are dead on. I had my kids when I was living in Berkeley, CA, and encountered a lot of these women through my prenatal yoga group.
Please hear me when I say that
1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements
2) they pre-date the age of social media
3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

Spoke to a room of lawyers and judges tonight. Told them: when many Albertans picture the UCP base, they picture you.
They were shocked — most of them oppose the democratic backsliding.
I reminded them: as long as they stay silent, that perception will stick.
All pluralists need to speak out.

"They were making, like, deportation hype videos with trap beats and shit. What are we doing? It's idiocracy."

This issue (the office of the president being exercised by the Speaker, the Vice President, and the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff after Trump's failed insurrection) really deserves long-form law review treatment if any ambitious writers out there are looking for something to write about.
one reason I think soft coup is underrated as an outcome is that we probably already had one in January 2021 and the collective popular reaction was that we didn’t notice
