Don't piss off Mother Nature! SCOTUS and the ultra conservative wackos have fired us up.

Last night a message was delivered loud and strong. The people of Kansas (not a bastion of liberalism) delivered that message.

The arrogance and hubris of the ultra conservative justices of the SC and the radical right of the Rethuglican Party made a huge mistake when they overplayed their hand when it comes to women's reproductive rights. They not only went too far they decided to do this prior to the 2022 mid-term elections.

Last night we saw record voter turnout in Kansas and they voted overwhelmingly to retain freedom of reproductive rights and not hand the keys to the extreme right wing radicals in their legislature. This is a bellwether of what's coming in November!

Don't piss off Mother Nature or she will rise up and smite thee.

Needs to repeat over and over and over again, where they stand on this issue.

Handing the Senate to Republicans, who will only block any future, moderate SC picks by President Biden would be stupid!

reflects the will of the minority. Minority rule is an anathema to the principles of Democracy handed down from the Founders and inspired by The Enlightenment. Minority rule is so Dark Ages.

so they could get back to their slave mistresses. We should all take a moment to let this fact settle in.

It just appalls me just how savage and "warlordly" these characters actually were, and the society of that day thought it was all quite okay. My fellow Americans, we were founded of feral stock.

They sent a strong message to Republicans, and they did it in spite of the deliberate ballot wording that was meant to confuse them.

Now, to get them and other voters out to protect reproductive and other rights in November.
