I think it’s time that many of us get up & move to Blue states. Get the F*#k out of red states! Quit giving them your tax $$. They take more from the gov’t than they give.

Manstate:
When a male majority or all-male panel rules on an issue that deeply affects women. Derived from mandate and legislate.
In May β€˜19, the largely male AL state Senate voted to ban abortions even in cases of rape & incest. In October, a federal judge blocked the manstate from taking effect.

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. He demonstrated that in televised living color in our Oval Office today by disgracefully attacking a democratic leader suffering a murderous invasion by the Russian thug. What a stain on America. Slava Ukraini.

Federal court rules for Tennessee in challenge of abortion protections β€’ Tennessee Lookout The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tennessee and other states can challenge protections for state and federal workers seeking abortions.

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.

Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

Can Trump Really Just Rewrite The Reality Of January 6? As Trump readies his J6 "day one" pardons, how can we ensure history tells the truth about that day?

Four years ago, Donald Trump declared the January 6 riots β€œa heinous attack." By 2024, he was calling it β€œa day of love.” Now as Trump prepares to issue pardons to rioters on "day one," how can we undo Trump's rewriting of history? thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-janu...
