kinda doubt it, but maybe, if this vote was on whether to proceed with a motion to vote on whether to invoke cloture, or something like that? i'll be honest, i don't know what the fuck this means in plain English, i just know that anyone saying it _passed_ is wrong.

Youngkin came from Carlyle Group, Earle-Sears was a has-been, Miyares was pretty obscure. But Dems really wiped their bench out. Miyares gone, zero Rs left in NoVa, and a possible gerrymander that will delete 3 House Rs. L.

this was brave as hell, and it worked
screenshot from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycott In response, opposing whites swelled the ranks of the White Citizens' Council, the membership of which doubled during the course of the boycott. The councils sometimes resorted to violence: King's and Abernathy's houses were firebombed, as were four black Baptist churches. Boycotters were often physically attacked. After the attack at King's house, he gave a speech to the 300 angry African Americans who had gathered outside. He said: >If you have weapons, take them home; if you do not have them, please do not seek to get them. We cannot solve this problem through retaliatory violence. We must meet violence with nonviolence. Remember the words of Jesus: "He who lives by the sword will perish by the sword". We must love our white brothers, no matter what they do to us. We must make them know that we love them. Jesus still cries out in words that echo across the centuries: "Love your enemies; bless them that curse you; pray for them that despitefully use you". This is what we must live by. We must meet hate with love. Remember, if I am stopped, this movement will not stop, because God is with the movement. Go home with this glowing faith and this radiant assurance.

no, Rain, i did not try to DM you over there, this is just how links shared from TikTok work, unless someone goes through the trouble of stripping the tracking information from the URL, which is a convoluted pain in the ass

I see it in some guides but not others, no mention of it from Planned Parenthood for example, but here's what i was just looking at
7. Blood Test Once you have injected your needle, pull back on the plunger slightly to check if you are in a vein; this action is called aspirating. If blood comes back into the syringe, remove the needle, and try a different area, remembering to aspirate again. If when you pull back the bubbles are clear, you are good to inject. Do not worry about any bubbles in the Estradiol at this point. Anything you take from the body, can go back. screenshot from https://i.completecare.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Estradiol-Self-Injection-Pt-Instructions-11.16.21.pdf

Maybe maternal mortality rate isn't the best proxy, but shit looked *bleak* until around JFK/LBJ

And still so far behind parity even by 2007, holy hell
Chart of maternal mortality rate by race in the US from 1935 to 2007 showing sharp decline to ~1955, and slower decline after that, for all races but always noticeably higher for Black mothers. Also shows a Black/White Ratio curve that is steadily increasing from about 2 at 1935 to about 4 by 1960, when there is a slight decrease, but it appears to become very noisy after that, probably because of the low overall maternal mortality rate. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:United_States_Maternal_Mortality_by_Race_1935-2007.png

What are the odds that Platner was wearing that tank top the whole time Hogg was with him?

That looks like a pretty decent day out on the water, wonder how warm it was. What day was that trip, exactly? Before Platner officially entered the race, per @TheMaineWire
