Gently off a cliff, Throw the women overboard, Republicans want a tiff.
The Trump Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which for half a century put an end to most low-quality abortions in the United States. The Handmaid’s Tale gets ever closer to looking like a documentary, instead of a horror novel/movie about the decline of the American empire into a theocratic, dystopia. I feel bad for American women; most don’t deserve the terrible consequences Republicans/Christofascists want for them.
Maybe Democrat supporters will realize their party is too wimpy to do anything useful. It’s too corporate-owned to matter.
Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.
Dem leadership sleepwalked us into losing ABORTION rights. Dems are hell bent on downplaying the decades long push by the Republican Party to eradicate every right gained post the civil rights movement.
Republicans are clear about the future they are building. Believe it. https://t.co/uQeiFInoAE
Yep. My partner is 15 yrs older than me and has really struggled to accept how extreme the GOP has become. He's seen it but not fully recognized how pervasive it was. The last 6ish months have been revelatory for him and he's getting so angry. I hope more are getting it now, too.
Your husband isn't going to do squat though, is he? He won't pack the court, or make an executive order, or force his party including Manchin and Sinema to codify the right to an abortion. He'll say some words, pretend others need to fix it, and nothing will get better.#RoeVWade

Rep. Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming, gave a preview of testimony to be revealed in hearings concerning Donald Trump’s actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/WwU1kDet2Upic.twitter.com/KnxhgzcZCO
U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn said Thursday night's Jan. 6 hearing confirmed his suspicions about that day.
"It's no longer my opinion to say that Donald Trump did not help us. It's no longer my opinion. It's a fact," Dunn said to reporters after the hearing. pic.twitter.com/NvKa5sbjO7
"[The driver] was shouting stuff out. He was being racist, using some racial slurs," said Garrett Dan. "We have a whole bunch of witnesses to what happened to my brothers."
Please read this story, that probably should have published yesterday:https://t.co/nYF3dwaj0K
What the dickens is wrong with Saskatchewan’s prominent political Moe family? It was less than 3 months ago that his truck was impounded in British Columbia where his son drove it so badly. Decades before then, Scott Moe killed Joanne Balog with his truck by not stopping it at a stop sign. Moe says he regrets one day, that day. I guess he doesn’t regret the other 2 days he was driving drunk, even though he might consider them among his “lot of mistakes”.
“Moe calls situation around impounded truck a ‘personal matter'” leaderpost com/news/saskatchewan/moe-again-calls-situation-around-impounded-truck-a-personal-matter
“Premier Scott Moe said this was a time he was called to support family and friends”
How does he support his family:
The order shows Kris Moe, the brother to the premier, was one of the individuals pardoned after driving through an amber light on Jan. 23, 2021 in Prince Albert.https://t.co/gsPjd1sZos
The Republican Party didn’t become disgusting when Trump came to power, it’s been terrible for over 20 years. How can you tell? W Bush just confessed to knowing the Iraq War was wrong, during one of his infamous public speaking gaffes. Obama’s Democrats letting him skate away from responsibility for the deaths of over a million people has inspired Biden’s Democrats to do the same for Trump who has also caused the deaths of over a million Americans by mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic so badly. And the GOP is supported by Fox News which is using the xenophobic expression “illegal babies”.
They may be less excited to learn that Justin Trudeau should face similar prosecution for breaking the same law in the same manner. Another who should be charged gave this excuse for their breaking of the public safety measure: “He also noted that the press conference was not a public setting.” Imagine that a ‘private’ press conference.
One of the law profs behind the prosecution of Ford has made waved on Twitter previously.
Doug Ford is being criminally prosecuted for violating public health law. The Rule of Law means the powerful are not above the law, not on my watch. https://t.co/XJ5KYT2Ho9
I think it would be easy to find other Premiers like Moe who’ve broken the quarantine law too. Wasn’t Moe just gallivanting around Europe and the Middle East?
About 3 months after that, he broke his own government’s COVID-19 public safety measures and had a birthday party for which he was recently fined for attending. He became the first British PM to be found to have broken the law while in office. Rather than resigning in disgrace as Pie argues for in his satirical video here, BoJo stayed on and is expected to avoid sanction in Parliament because of his party’s corruption and support in a majority government situation.
BoJo is among the worst human beings, and the British have him as Prime Minister, of course.
An untrustworthy government during a pandemic is a lethal combination.
GoFundMe has frozen further donations from going to the convoy organizers. This was at the request of the Mayor of Ottawa, among other authorities becoming desperate to end the blockade peacefully.
GoFundMe announces freeze of the fascists’ funding:
GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created.
Suuuure GoFundMe, their intentions started out “peaceful”, while being organized by Pat King of Alberta. who said in previous videos a lot of homophobic and white supremacist things, and that they’d solve their problems with bullets. That’s why the good folks on both sides showed up with their racist flags in the first place too. King thinks the flags were flown as a false flag to sully his spotless reputation… as a bigoted violent racist.
“James Bauder, the founder of Canada Unity and the architect of the “trucker” convoy to Ottawa, has said Trudeau “needs too[sic] be arrested and charged for treason, and for participating in committing crimes against humanity.”
The media has some people doing a good job of reporting on this, but this insurrection attempt is being downplayed in lots of places too as a protest against vaccine mandates, instead of a vast, far-right wing attack on the Prime Minister and legitimate government of Canada.
This is not a movement that's been "hijacked" or "taken over by extremists." That's factually incorrect. The freedom convoy was dreamed up by Bauder as a way to remove Trudeau from power. Since then it's attracted an array of other conspiracy theorists and far-right agitators.
"Downtown has a large LGBTQ+ community. There has been vandalism. Protesters have taken shits on the doorsteps of houses with pride flags. Trucking is being used as a pretext for some pretty raw hate." /2
That’s why all the American flags, the Confederate flag, Trump flags, etc.
And then, some GoFundMe collateral damage happened. Caryma is a legitimate journalist, and GoFundMe just screwed her out of $7000. They’ll have yet one more thing to answer for to Parliament.
This is one of the hardest & most painful threads I’ve ever written.

Anyway here's Chris Barber with Member of Parliament Jeremy Patzer.
(I don't think MPs should get criticized for everyone they take a photo with. But Patzer has already apologized for coming out to shake Pat King's hand. It's becoming a bit of a pattern.) pic.twitter.com/nZdvEssiog
What is it about Conservative MPs and Senators that draws them to rallies with fascist flags being flown? Hmm, if only we could know what they’re thinking.
