Please believe this won’t stop with abortion rights. They’ll overturn Roe v. Wade. They’ll outlaw abortion at the federal level. They’ll roll back marriage equality for LGBTQ+ people. They’ll outlaw birth control for people with uteruses.

They intend to strip everything we’ve won in the last 50-some years. They intend to take it all away. They will not be happy until their weird little christofascist cult is the unyielding law of the land.

If you’re not white, if you’re not male, if you’re not straight, if you’re not cis, if you’re not one of their weird little cult members, they are coming for you.

SCotUSBlog: Court has voted to overturn Roe, according to draft opinion published by Politico

The Supreme Court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, according to a copy of an apparent draft opinion obtained by Politico.

[…]

Initial votes on the outcome of a case can change — and the wording of opinions frequently does — as the justices deliberate and circulate draft opinions. The court is expected to release its decision in Dobbs in the next two months.

• Pew Research Center: About six-in-ten Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases

“We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase,” Fauci told PBS Newshour, a statement he gave while the media was announcing that the VP has COVID, and that almost 60% of Americans have had COVID.

Here’s your quick reminder that even if you don’t end up with Long COVID, you’re still probably looking at definitely long term and possibly permanent cardiac damage and brain damage.

Here’s your other quick reminder that at every fork in the road, American leaders have chosen the expedient path, the lazy path, the heartless path in dealing with the pandemic. They’ve chosen money over lives at every opportunity. They’ve left immunocompromised, disabled, and marginalized Americans to die, because it saved them money or made them more money.

So, sure. We can be “out of the pandemic phase.” We’re definitely out of the caring about the pandemic phase.

Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, fuck every single one of our so-called leaders for the way they’ve handled the pandemic in America. Every single one.

And fuck Deborah Birx twice. She’s out here still trying to rehabilitate the reputation she sold up the river toadying to Trump. Fuck her three times.

JFC. 🙄🙄🙄 Here’s the tweet, which is part of a short thread of similar foolishness which you can read starting here.

Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.” Tweet from 4/25/22 at 7:03p.m.]
