Opinions are my own
Establishment/centrist Dem organizations are applauding the on-the-ground work this past election cycle but are still wondering why they lost the presidential.

Your candidate sucked. Point blank.

It’s funny to see establishment democrats finally becoming disillusioned with the party and speaking like they’re providing new insight.

No, we’ve been saying this.

America was built on slave labor. Currently over 800,000 prisoners work for about $1 a day in US prisons. But it’s not technically forced labor.

ICE Detention Centers use the same system, but force folks to pay for basic necessities ensuring they work.

Also thank you to the Senate Health Policy committee for supporting expanding contraception access! The bill package will allow for a 12-month supply to be dispensed and allows pharmacists to prescribe contraceptives!

Thank you to the Senate Health Policy committee for supporting a package of Shield Laws for Michigan. These bills protect individuals who are receiving and physicians/helpers who are providing reproductive health services that are constitutionally protected in Michigan.

Thank you to the Michigan Senate and Sen. McMarrow for passing SB 1082 to provide protection for reproductive health data! #mileg

Setting very bad precedent here. Idaho already drove out over 22% of their OBGYNs with their abortion ban.

SB 1082 which would protect reproductive health data and prohibits geofences around reproductive health centers passed the MI Senate House and Human Services committee!

Among many other things, the bill would prohibit anti-abortion ads and messaging within 1080 feet of a reproductive health center

Abortion bans kill people. All for nothing but control. I don’t know how so many people are willing to keep ingoring this
