What? You mean all their helicopter “jokes” and helicopter “memes” of throwing people out aren’t motivated by ignorance?

That looks more plausible than the other Mussolini quote that gets shared all the time

Wanderfound:

Kavanaugh is going to be confirmed. They don’t have the guts or the numbers to stop him.

Roe vs Wade is dead and gone.

This is not as big a deal as it seems.

This is not because reproductive liberty is no big deal; it is. Violating the right to choose is catastrophic.

It’s because, similarly to the defence of voting rights for working people, this is a fight that the Democrats abandoned and lost years ago. Thanks to TRAP laws, abortion is already functionally banned for many working class women. Red state women have no access to abortion unless they can afford to travel and take significant time off work.

So the fall of Roe vs Wade does not mark the beginning of the loss of reproductive freedom. It marks the point at which the oppression of the working poor finally reaches the level of middle-class white women.
