The Texas state legislature, 5th Circuit and a majority of SCOTUS sure do hate people that can get pregnant. Lots of sympathetic and angry words out of politicians, but words don’t do shit. Every state with a R legislature is just chomping at the bit to follow Texas’ lead.
I don’t even know what the fuck to do other than throw money at abortion fund networks. (I’ve supported progressive candidates and organizations on the local, state, and federal level in my district, outside my district, inside & outside my state – and we’re still here, so I really don’t know what the fuck to do.)
Oh, and let’s not forget the hurricane, countless number of folks still in harms way with that, from the folks down south with no power/water/anything to a tornado hitting Annapolis and another possible in Philly this evening. (Looks like we’re in the clear if the stuff south of us stays on the other side of I-95 – we got very lucky here.)
It would be a good night to say fuck it, we’re gonna have a hangover in the morning and hit the bar – but oh wait, there is still a pandemic, and no one is doing jack shit about that either other than gently begging people to get vaccinated.
I’m just very tired of the folks in charge either being fuck all evil, or just standing there going, “Gosh, this is awful.”
