it's straightforward for a pharmacy or grocery discount card to out pregnant women - change in purchasing pattern of tampons or other products (without even counting prescriptions), purchases of pregnancy tests

Yup
And the 2-Step has begun:
Say it's a state's rights issue, then
(already started) argue embryos are human under 14A, so NO state has right to regulate
Today's info-environ is insane
Years ago, Facebook outed a pregnant girl to her dad almost before she knew; from purchase & search logs

Yes
But I quibble with the "almost"
It is "exactly" like they want a new form of slavery
As we pretty much all know here, this was never about "life", it was always about control of the many by the few

But that day seems long past. 90% of the MSM is owned by only SIX corporations. Media are unprofitable fleas on the butts of big mangy corporate dogs
They will always skew even worse to the corporate line, push dictators for tax cuts, and generally not GAF that they're wrong

Yes, it is wrong that they get away with it for so long
But it is less wrong than letting them get away with it until they die
Better they die miserable in prison

Excellent. As long as they are factually stating that they are competing in NCAA competitions, athletes should be able to say so
NCAA has it exactly backwards — the athletes using their brand will build it up — they will amplify it!
Corporate types can be sooo tedious

It's literally getting to the point in Red States that even purchasing any kind of reproductive-system product, or even groceries, needs to be planned. Don't change buying patterns even if circumstances change. (stockpile preg tests in advance, what's shelflife?)

Oh for sure! So sort of an empty offer
I'd consider it extremely dangerous for any American-linked person to go there under the current regime — you'd never know when it'd become a good time to take another hostage (of course with the standard accusations of spying).

3) can some groups say "All X are Y" and it will heard as exact/literal/logical, while other groups can say "All A are B" and expect it to be interpreted as vague
4) can the idea Acey pointed out about focusing on acts vs groups help?
Happy to explore ideas open, private, or not, aas you prefer

Yes, thx for discussing. We've got about four different overlapping issues juxtaposed; can't even smash one into a single post

Thx for saying what's in my mind
More srsly, this "not all" argument has been on SocMedia for years — it's an obvious cause of misunderstanding (and can be abused to justify priv)
I actually had a thought that Acey's call to focus on acts not groups might help; sorry
hard 2fit nuance in 300chars

Exactly!
To me, danger is a call to action (e.g., when things are OK, I can focus on something else)
Of course, you're right, ppl have a range of responses; (oversimplifying science) it's Fight, Flight, of Freeze
Sometimes 300char brevity is great for communication, but other times, whattamess!

Seems we both thing winning is possible, even likely, if we work?

Yes, there are signs that things are starting to move in the right direction

NO, it is because people, incl Biden admin, are working like mad to set things right

100% agree: Russia & GOP are definitely beatable
No question
BUT:
That is NOT the same thing as the victory having been accomplished and in the past
You can have a commanding lead in a race and injured competitors, but if you stop running, you WILL lose
Same here
It's not over until it's over

But the answer is not yet written
In Ukraine, the fight is obvious, they don't, they die
Here, many think they have the luxury of things like stupid protest, 3rdPtys, voting for TFG b/c it'll "shake things up" or "stick it to -whoever-"
There are $$billions exploiting that idiocy

Obviously, there are differences
It just seemed worth noting the often overlooked similarities, considering the recurring "not all" discussion
It's an example where if we can get away from using group smears on one, it could apply generally, & focus on acts
But 300chars is short for much nuance?

MSM will not help
They will exaggerate and amplify how bad it is
The goal of the protests is to undermine Dems, make Biden look bad, lose the election
(They also DGAF that this will be deadly for Palestinians, as everyone turns against them)
Participating or amping the protests helps Rs & RU
