It bothers me every day when I see truth slipping away and facts being considered equal to opinions or not caring about the difference - our culture and democracy must demand more from our leaders, media, and ourselves.

Day 20

In ALABAMA. Where 52% of voters are Republican. Nationwide, 43% of Republicans want abortion to be legal.

Hoping 🤞 that the GOP made a GRAVE error by passing all these anti-abortion laws.

“Lands beat Republican Teddy Powell by a wide margin — about 25 percentage points — in a politically moderate section of northern Alabama that Donald Trump won by a single percentage point in 2020. Just fewer than 6,000 people voted — offering a limited snapshot of voter attitudes.”
