Yeah if docs just decided that IUDs do, in fact, hurt like a mother, it’s hard to imagine they’re doing their best with the medieval boob press.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"

“The party’s task is creating democracy, not defending it.”
Democrats have to offer different, not just defense.
Anyway, it is true that democracy will be on the ballot in 2028. But it'll be on the ballot for Democrats well before the general. And the party's task is creating democracy, not defending it. That demands both an attentiveness to structural politics and a willingness to defend the equality of all.

It’s funny what a big deal a ruling like this is and how surprised the public would be to see what standard is typically applied.
MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT:
*ME Constitution provides greater protection against self-incrimination than U.S. Constitution.
*Any waiver of that protection must be "clear and unequivocal."
*Officers must "stop to clarify" ambiguous waivers. www.courts.maine.gov/courts/sjc/l...
