Boy, 8, on vacation in S. Carolina killed by man shooting at random cars, officials say.
Posted this before, but I don't think its importance can be overlooked. It shows how Alito, and likely other conservative judges, are approaching their cases.
“Alito’s draft opinion explicitly criticizes Lawrence v. Texas (legalizing sodomy) and Obergefell v. Hodges (legalizing same-sex marriage.) He says that, like abortion, these decisions protect phony rights that are not ‘deeply rooted in history.’”
- Slate reporter Mark Joseph Stern
Dear Men, this is the time to use your voice. You need to fight for your daughter, your granddaughter, your wife, your sister, your friend, and your mother. You cannot be silent. You need to be seen and heard. Dear Men, this is your fight too. Just because your body isn’t being threatened doesn’t mean you get a pass. Show up for us. Show up for us. Show up for us.
We are your daughters, granddaughters, wives, sisters, friends, & mothers. Our very bodies are being threatened. We will be forced to birth, like a breeding mare, or a puppy mill. We’ll carry our rapist’s babies.We’ll die from ectopic pregnancies because the individuals making the laws aren’t educated on what makes a viable pregnancy.Our decision on when to enter motherhood will not be our own.Our dreams will no longer be ours.Our bodies will no longer be ours. We will die from unsafe abortions.
22 states have abortion bans on their books.
Most would take effect immediately if Roe v. Wade is overturned.
What's on my mind?
- women's right to abortion services, in cases of rape/incest/health of mother/ectopic pregnancy/mental crisis/desire for personal autonomy... ending
What's Next?
- birth control
- gay marriage
- interracial marriage
And
-the very real likelihood that violence is likely in days to come & -Democracy is more fragile than ever
Primary voting has begun. Get informed & vote for freedom. It's in danger like never before.

@wotup Hiya, and welcome to CounterSocial!
Unofficial status update:
Site slowdown/glitches are temporary and due entirely to the sudden influx of users.
Moderation team may be running behind for a little bit; the population of the site has, by my estimation, increased by several times in the last 72 hours.
If you find the interface overwhelming, go to the Settings (three dots menu near the top-left hand side -> Preferences) and turn on Ostrich mode. It calms it down significantly.
"Why are all of my images getting rotated!?"
CoSo has a sanitizer that scrubs your images of ALL of their metadata. This protects you from accidentally sharing your location, but it's a little overzealous in that it also strips out image orientation on freshly snapped photos.
It's on the list of things to fix. For now, do a quick edit of your picture, save it, then upload that. Pepper's here to tell you it really works. #CoSoTips
