There are now 21 states with abortion bans.
Next: contraceptives, gender health access, mifepristone access, same sex marriage, interracial marriage then slavery.
Arizona just put in place an 1874 abortion ban which eliminates exceptions.
The only solution is at the ballot box.

REMOVED Twitter/Instagram/TikTok from my devices after Xmas. If someone links, I'll take a look, but otherwise, I'm out. (For the good of my mental health, FFS!) Currently recovering nicely.

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyI am sincerely astonished by how toxic Twitter is now. I spent over six years researching misinformation and targeted harassment on Twitter, and it doesn't come close to what is happening now.03:30 PM - Jan 11, 2024

When I read sh*t like this, my first thought is always, "WTF is WRONG with these people?!?" Then I remember that the GOP isn't just a political party, it's a sickness. A sickness that leeches every ounce of common sense, modesty, humor, generosity, and empathy from those afflicted. What a waste.

I'm sure you've been told this plenty by now, but calling a strong informed Black woman speaking her mind "shrill" is bullshit misogynoir. Do better.

Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life. ~

This week in Dixiecrats
When the Democratic party kicked out the racist KKK 'dixiecrats' from their party, Nixon's Republicans welcomed them with open arms. This is the modern GOP:
DeSantis: Slavery is good
Nikki: Slavery didn't cause Civil War
Magneto McTrump: Lincoln should have negotiated

K-Money Talks Politics @KMoneyTalksRepublicans shouldn't talk about the Civil War. Ron DeSantis said we should focus on the positives of slavery. Nikki Haley didn't acknowledge slavery as a cause of the Civil War. Now Donald Trump is saying Abraham Lincoln could've negotiated with the Confederacy to avoid the Civil War.03:15 PM - Jan 06, 2024

Americans work more,
take less vacation,
work longer days,
and retire later-
-but at least we're not stuck w/socialized health care,
like our happier and more well-off capitalist allies.

In response to Mike P.
A very good thread that addresses how we roll here at Spoutible. I would guess that most, if not all, active users have apologized. A fella once told me that if you don’t make any mistakes, you aren’t trying. I resemble that remark.

This place is special. When I was misunderstood, I got direct apologies. That was so nice to see. When I came off rude, I was asked about my intent. That was nice. This place is nice. I don't feel anxious about chatting, commenting, or interacting in general. I love it.

When I was an impeachment manager, I argued that Trump incited an insurrection that gave our foreign enemies unprecedented exposure to the halls of Congress.
Again and again, his crimes put our national security at risk.
Nobody — not even a former President — is above the law.

There are people who want the drama of Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky, but claim they hate trolls. When they say we don't have engagement or it's boring, what they really mean is we don't have the toxic drama. Personally, I like being able to share my thoughts without being called a derogatory name.
