The rights war on women continues. It's all about control.
"Berger also notes that in states that approved no-fault divorce, domestic violence rates dropped about 30%, the number of women killed by an intimate partner fell by 10%, and women’s deaths by suicide dropped by 8–16%. It’s hard to imagine American voters are going to embrace an end to no-fault divorce."

Just got a survey call from some polling firm. We got as far as confirming my first name, the county in Missouri where I live, that I am registered to vote, and that out of R, D, or something else, I would identify as a Democrat and all of a sudden we were done. Their representative sample needed no Missouri Democrat, apparently. Because it was soooooo representative, I am sure 😜🤣
Facts. Should be required reading for all citizens. Share em.

They identify as "pro life". They're not. They're only pro embryo. Fucking assholes.
My hero, Jamie Raskin, gives the GQP knuckleheads holy hell:
How your congressional rep voted in today's contempt of Congress vote against the Attorney General:

The message I just sent to my Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick:
"Your vote today to hold the Attorney General in contempt for not producing audio tapes of a 250 page transcript that your party already has reeks of partisan poppycock. Jim Jordan would love to catch President Biden stutter through an answer. This was an absolutely gutless vote on your part."

The amazing Jess Piper writing about our town
“We’re producing more energy than ever before in this nation. We have the strongest economy in the world, and we are beating China for the first time in decades. More people went to work this morning in America than at any other time in our nation’s history. So I’ve got a message to Donald Trump and all his negativity and his whining: Stop sh*t talking America. This is the greatest country on earth, and it’s time that we all start acting like it.”
I'm proud of the governor of my state. PA.
Sharks and Boats and Trucks, Oh My! Was wondering why everyone was referencing batteries and sharks. Now I know.

Someone just shared this image with me. I thought it had to be an AI image. I was wrong. Holy crap.
