Control of women's rights has never been over. We'll need to stay awake to the end.

For now, I’m just grateful we have a Democratic Governor (Katie Hobbs), Attorney General (Kris Mayes) and Secretary of State (Adrian Fontes) in office. All three were challenged by Trump endorsed MAGAts.

So, as bad as it seems, it could be worse. I hope this insane decision is enough to flip the narrow majority the Republicans hold in the state legislature in November’s election. Rumor has it Kris Mayes wants to talk with AZ Fake elector Jake Hoffman. Maybe he’ll be out of the AZ senate and get a different job with the state…ya know, one making license plates

Well, a few whites were straggling in during the early 1800s but given what the originals now know, I hope they'd know how to protect the land.

As I was writing this, I realized that the big White government in D.C. really, really, wanted to own everything.

on her birth control prescription. Basically she needed his permission to obtain birth control. I was so taken aback that I went and told my wife and two adult daughters who looked at me like I was nuts. I’m like you ladies better start opening your eyes to what is happening because your rights are being taken away. Hate to say I told you so but I’m going screenshot and send this photo to them.

Just like they didn’t believe me when I told them W would get us back into Iraq if he was elected. Just like they didn’t believe me when I said Roe v Wade would be overturned it TSF was elected. Even now, they think I’m too political and they don’t want to talk about it.

It is so clear what they are and what they will do, just painful how this country at large just lets them keep pushing things and pushing things and somehow WE are the problem.

Unbelievable. This is insane. Anyone know the age/race/gender of these fools passing these laws. Some old white men up to no good again. How is this even possible in our society?

to the 1860's. Some folks on wingnut sites are already asking why women (and blacks, and non-landowners) still have the right to vote.

And Alex Wagner said tonight that back then medicine was pretty much rudimentary. Doctors didn't even know about germs and that they had to wash their hands! Who wants to go back to that?!
