Via Lawrence Tribe:
The Trumpers are now going for the jugular in attacking the great 1965 precedent on which nearly all federal rights of privacy and personal autonomy depend, Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, upholding the right to use #contraceptives when having sexual relations.
#Biden-Harris HQ:
Top #Trump supporter Marsha Blackburn says Griswold v. Connecticut is “constitutionally unsound”
(Griswold v. Connecticut is the 1965 Supreme Court ruling that legalized birth control)

NEW: RFK Jr. is being quasi-normalized in the political media coverage of his campaign. The depth of his battiness is not being fully conveyed. I took a deep dive into one of his many conspiracy theories to show just how far he's removed from reality.

We’re going to find out if white women value contraception in November.

Saying half the nation wants fascism is totally on brand because it IGNORES everyone but white people. HALF OF AMERICAN WHITE PEOPLE ARE FASCISTS.

“Provocative.” 🤦🏻♀️🙄 GET HIM OFF THE COURT.
“Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another #Alito Home
The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on #Jan6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html

This is a great article, and I am 100% delighted by their description of me!! "Lawler has been an academic Chicken Little for years about the danger of freefalling space shit, especially in a time when space travel has been privatized and so many bored billionaires would rather spend their money playing Spaceman Spiff than, say, solving world hunger or the climate crisis"

#PodSaveTheWorld hosts are **rightly** almost yelling in response to #Biden on the #ICC's arrest warrants for #Netanyahu.
"That is a gift to Russia.
That is a gift to China.
That is a gift to any autocrat that wants to live in a world with impunity."

How is it even POSSIBLE that contraception is an issue? I feel the same way about abortion access. This time we are in is deeply disturbing. And so bad for women.

And here we go. Thanks to a couple of people for pointing this article out to me this morning.
At least 8 people in Florida were charged with wearing a mask in public during these protests.

I don’t just blindly accept followers: there’s an interview process.
