Pritzker gets shit done. I wasn't sold on him as gov but he's been great.
If need be hell yeh violence is the answer. At some point words and voting don't work and I don't blame a single person for lashing out at their human rights being taken away."Violence is not the answer"
No, Violence is the response. It is inevitable that things will get violent in many places across the country.
Question is: is it going to matter? Will this meaningfully move the needle on, idk, more than a couple of Senate seats?But privately, Mr. Trump has told people repeatedly that he believes it will be "bad for Republicans."
The decision, Mr. Trump has told friends and advisers, will anger suburban women, a group who helped tilt the 2020 presidential race to Joseph R. Biden Jr., and will lead to a backlash against Republicans in the November midterm elections.
Per the NYT. Very interesting
I mean if anything this screams "GET OUT THERE AND VOTE" but it's proven to be very ineffective. And there's absolutely nothing we can do about the supreme court. That's going to stay a republican majority for quite a while. Biden has already shown reluctance to pack the courts, which in my opinion would be an appropriate reaction to Trump appointing absolute garbage during his 1 term.
I dunno... I'm just super depressed and pessimistic right now. I have such little hope for this country anymore.
Ugh. Unreal.
Now Im hearing from many on the radio while driving that a Federal Nationwide Ban is next up…I'm admittedly pretty ignorant on the logistics of what that would require..is that something that could actually realistically happen?

100%
I honestly do think it's going to be bad for republicans. Even my more conservative leaning friends are fired up about this.But privately, Mr. Trump has told people repeatedly that he believes it will be "bad for Republicans."

Why vote? Look at the states that have protections for abortion already in place. Voting at the state and local levels matter just as much, if not more, as every 4 years.
damn, what are the dems gonna do to fight back?
yeah that tracks
Why would a President say anything elseI didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
I mean, we're trying to bury Trump now for Jan 6. If he says "go burn shit down" it's a bit hypocritical.I didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
It never sat right with me that my anger would be likened to that of angry conservative mobs.Violence is sometimes the answer when the state is committing violence against you, it's no longer violence, it's self-defense. Over half the country are now second class citizens and considered subhuman, violence is self-defense in this case.
This is what Dems should be shouting and making it a point. GoP will never do any of this.Surely, the Republican Party will also provide comprehensive healthcare, maternity leave, and a basic income for the mothers and their children that will be born due to this. I mean, Jesus said to sell all your belongings and give the money to the poor, so obviously they're going to follow through on their Christian beliefs and take care of all these people and their children.
I didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
SCOTUS will mess with whatever it wants when they want. They have no obligation to be consistent and "originalism" can mean whatever they want.
I didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
They aren't banning condemns. Everything else though is on the tableBirth control pills, condoms, IUDs, and other things that can potentially halt pregenacies in women.
I didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
The federal government could pass an constitutional amendment banning abortions. They stopped alcohol sales using amendment 18 from 1928 to 1933, .Ugh. Unreal.

Does Biden or congress have the power to restructure the Supreme Court or even devolve it and start fresh?
No. Congress can add more justices because the number is not set by the constitution but everything else is off limits because it is determined by article III.Does Biden or congress have the power to restructure the Supreme Court or even devolve it and start fresh?

The WH doesn't even think people should picket outside of justices houses. That take isn't remotely surprising.I didn't see it but did Biden really say that violence is not the answer?
Fuck. That.
Convince the medical/pharmaceutical industry that abortion bans loses then money and get their lobby to pay off republicans to make it legal again.Does this call for more unorthodox methods of resistance or is this something that will eventually solve itself if we keep voting?
Gay Marriage
Death Penalty
Affirmative Action
Which gets knocked down next?
Depends if the Christo-fascists take more control or not. They're for reproduction at all costs. "Normal" republicans are just misogynistic so they wouldn't touch that.
