The Supreme Court officially overturned Roe V. Wade, leading millions to protest across America, Democrats send out feeble campaign emails, and Republicans celebrate “victory for white life.” #DailyShow #Comedy #TreovrNoah
At some point Democrats are going to have to deal with the fact that a WHOLE LOT of life-long Democrats are seriously pissed off at their feeble response to the extremist Supreme Court. Feel free to attack me for saying this. But it’s the reality.

They were pretty feeble in their response to Merrick Garland not getting a hearing. I remember how Republicans, when they didn’t get what they wanted on judicial nominations, had whole huge advertising campaigns, made it topic #1 on every Sunday show, etc.

Exactly right. Republicans just grab what they want, while Democrats dither and defeat themselves, over and over, for decades.

As to prayer being legal… I say throat singing prayer as a countermeasure:
Here’s my contrarian view: I don’t want Democrats to find a quick fix right now. It does seem that they can get around enough of Hyde to help women who have been raped or need it for medical reasons, but white Democratic voters by-and-large suck, and a quick fix will give them an excuse to not show up in November so that a real fix can be done, and the Supreme Court will just overturn it.

Is it really so hard to accept that maybe there isn’t the One Simple Fix or Green Lantern Ring that can fix this immediately? And that the hard slog is not helped by a media that seems invested in covering Dems only when it’s bad, and laundering GOP talking points with unerring credulity? If a Dem actually fights, and the media obscures the message, did they actually fight?
Can they do more? Of course, they can always do more. But good goddamned, at this point people are asking for instant miracles for a fight that is going to last decades, because it already has lasted decades, and instead people are in full “beatings will continue until Dem results improve” with doing everything to tear down Dems on first instinct because the GOP is winning. It’s not about not criticizing Dems. It’s about not criticizing Dems to all exclusion of everything else, because at this point it’s like I’m hearing that Dems are the end-all, be-all of the problem, so fuck ‘em all and burn down the entire party. All the while they’re doing most of the things that are being asked of them and getting shit for it because of rapid disinfo campaigns either telling folks the opposite or telling them it’s not enough. Like, how many people know that Dems actually tried to do that exact ‘codify Roe’ dealie they’re being screamed at for now? And that it predictably failed, but instead of it focusing anger on the Republicans for ‘putting them on the record’ as voting against Roe, Dems got shit on endlessly for failing the vote that everyone knew was going to fail?
Dems aren’t getting credit for concrete actions, they’re not getting credit for performative actions, they’re not getting credit for trying to go after Republicans, they’re just getting shit on because in this country, everything is the Democrats fault somehow, especially Republican sins.
Is it so much to goddamn ask that we attack Republicans first and rage at imperfect allies and leaders later?

The only Fix is for them to get out and remind everyone that the GOP wants to take abortion rights away from ALL American women, and then turn their efforts towards a national ban on contraception, gay marriage, interracial marriage and segregation in general.
If you vote GOP you are voting for a party that is ready and willing to turn back 75 years of social progress in America and re-install Christianity as our de facto state religion.

A 24/7 political/crime/family/scandal reality TV show with daily morning tweets, uproarious rallies and gaffe-filled events, what more could our media want?
Polling opens in the special election for NE-1 in a few hours. Facing off are former state senator Mike Flood (R) versus current state senator Patty Pansing-Brooks (D). Both shifted their campaigns to a referendum on Roe v Wade (Flood supports striking down the case, Pansing-Brooks was one of the state senators who led the charge against banning abortion in Nebraska earlier in the year).
Gov. Pete Ricketts (R-acist) is basing his calling of a special legislative session of the Unicameral to try to ban abortion again on the outcome of this election. If Pansing-Brooks wins, she resigns from the Unicameral, and Ricketts gets to appoint her replacement.
In most states, appointments to elective office to serve out a term require a governor to appoint someone of the same party. Nebraska officially has no parties, so Gov. Bulletthead will appoint the biggest wingnut he can find for her seat if she wins, then call a special session to try again to ban abortion. If she loses, Flood becomes a new US Representative and Ricketts probably won’t call the special session.
This sort of thing is what happens when Democratic voters only support those in blue states and ignore those of us trying to hold back the fascist tide in red states.
The special election is to replace convicted felon Jeff Fortenberry (R).
If Flood wins, that results in no change in the US House. If Pansing-Brooks wins, the US House seat flips to D, and a very liberal legislative district in Nebraska is flipped to uber-Wingnut by fiat.

The Douglas County Health Department on Monday confirmed a case of orthopox in the county, which after further testing is expected to be the state’s first case of monkeypox.
Monkeypox is a virus in the orthopox family, which also includes smallpox. Monkeypox is milder than smallpox.
The person who is infected is a man in his 30s with a history of international travel, Health Department officials said. He is doing well and isolating at home. The department is tracing his contacts to identify any people who may have been exposed.

SIOUX FALLS | Former South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg, in his first public comments since being removed from office last week, appeared before a state ethics board Monday to press for an investigation of fellow Republican Gov. Kristi Noem, the person he blames for his impeachment over his conduct surrounding a 2020 fatal car crash.
As attorney general, Ravnsborg last year filed a pair of complaints against Noem to the state’s Government Accountability Board alleging she abused the powers of her office by interfering in a state agency as it evaluated her daughter’s application for a real estate appraiser license and by misusing state airplanes. The board, which is comprised of retired judges, has not decided whether to investigate Noem and is working with an attorney to evaluate the merits of the complaints.
Ravnsborg appeared at the Government Accountability Board’s meeting for the first time since he initiated the complaints last year and said he was ready to provide additional information.

Special session abortion fight starts now (News Channel Nebraska)
TL;DR, Pete Ricketts fell two votes short of banning abortion in the last legislative session. Vote-counting is going on now.
One of the Nay votes was a Democrat who has since died. Gov. Lex Luthor replaced him with another wingnut, so that’s a gain of one, with a wingnut representing a liberal Omaha district.
Two state senators won’t say how they’d vote.
If state senator Patty Pansing-Brooks is elected to the US House today, that will be the magic number when Gov. Moneybags appoints another wingnut to her liberal district.

Quite a conundrum. Do you try to preserve the Democrats’ US House majority, or do you vote to send a Republican to Congress to keep abortion legal in Nebraska?

Want to adopt a child in the US?
Ok. Here’s what you have to do.
Get a criminal background check. Get a lawyer if you try a private adoption to guide the process. Work with an agency if you’re going that route. Provide health information as to your personal health. Fill out a characteristics sheet of what kind of child you’d be willing to adopt (levels of exposures to drugs; children of women who were engaging in addictions can have serious health effects, such as fetal alcohol syndrome, neonatal hospital stays for withdrawal from effects of some opioids (though no lasting effects on development have been found so far); etc.)
Oh, and money. The adoption can run into the 20-30k range and then some - it’s usually income sensitive. You’ll also need to have home studies both before and after placement. After placement, you’ll need home studies to satisfy state requirements that you’re a good parent - this depends on the state and you’ll need a couple of these visits.
You’ll also need a lawyer for finalizations, including addressing any missing father scenarios so that they can’t disrupt the adoption process by claiming parenthood and assert their custodial rights.
Wait lists can mean it’s years before you can adopt.
Foster parenting is an option, but you’d have additional requirements on top of what you’d need for adoption.
Or, you can have the court force a woman to carry to term and have no means of supporting themselves or the child because the right wing fascists don’t care what happens after a fetus is born alive.
Warm up your conspiracy engines.

This is going to be today’s talking point for the GOP.
The Senate minority leader compared the Supreme Court’s abortion decision to its reversal on racial segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson.
They’re all parrots. Cornyn made that statement, and now it’s spreading across the hellsite known as Twitter from every conservative parrot. (Libertarian parrots are still telling “hoors should keep their legs closed then” over Roe, except the ones who say they own women now.)
See they’re exactly the same: Brown overturned Plessey, so that’s exactly the same as Roe being overturned. Because acknowledging a right is exactly the same as taking a right.

Adoption agency I worked with was very careful with the birth mothers, trying to counsel them as much as possible to see that they can keep the baby without an adoption plan - such as if the reason for not keeping the baby was due to insecure housing, lack of sufficient job, etc. Only if the birth mom was sure that they couldn’t care for the child would the agency establish an adoption plan with the mother, and consider placement with a family.
There are far more unscrupulous agencies that will do nothing to support the birth mothers, and unsurprisingly, some of these agencies are evangelical Christian in nature (and discriminate against families who aren’t Christian or are LGBTQ+ and have love to share with a baby through adoption).
Agency we worked with has a significant number of families who are LGBTQ+ and they don’t discriminate on basis of race or religion. Agency does require that anyone seeking a transracial adoption take special transracial adoption course and fill out additional paperwork to make sure that they can adequately address the issues around transracial adoptions.

She added that because of this and similar incidents, she has had to separate from her boys, “just so my sons don’t feel like they have to watch cops passing by, stopping, parking.”

re: #153 Crush White Nationalism
Fuck Zuck.
Here’s a rundown of what we know Cassidy Hutchinson has told the J6 committee from Politico to get you ready for today’s hearing
She has been the source of a series of extraordinary revelations:
Burning documents: Hutchinson “told the panel investigating the Capitol attack that she saw Meadows incinerate documents after a meeting in his office with Rep. SCOTT PERRY (R-Pa.),” who was working closely with the White House to invalidate the results of the 2020 election, POLITICO’s Betsy Woodruff Swan and Kyle Cheney reported in May.
Violence: Hutchinson testified that she remembered a Secret Service agent “coming in and saying that we had intel reports saying that there could potentially be violence on the 6th.” The agent and Meadows huddled privately for five minutes to discuss the threats, she said.
Illegal plan: Hutchinson told the committee that the White House Counsel’s office, during a meeting with Meadows and RUDY GIULIANI and others, advised that the scheme to have alternate electors meet and cast votes for Trump was not legal.
Early start: She testified that “Mr. Giuliani, several of Mr. Giuliani’s associates, Mr. Meadows, Members of Congress,” were discussing a fake electors plan during Thanksgiving 2020.
GOP House members as co-conspirators: Hutchinson has given detailed testimony about a number of House Republicans who were involved with pressuring former VP MIKE PENCE to reject electors during the joint session of Congress and encouraging protesters to march on the Capitol Jan. 6.
Pardons: She is the key source for the revelation that six House Republicans sought pardons from Trump for their roles in the events of Jan. 6.
“Hang Mike Pence!”: She reportedly confirmed that Trump told Meadows on Jan. 6 that Trump agreed with the infamous chant of rioters who wanted to kill the vice president.
Martial law: In an extraordinary excerpt of her testimony that has been released, Hutchinson said that conversations about seizing voting machines, appointing SIDNEY POWELL as a special counsel and “invoking martial law” were stopped because “it became clear that there would be mass resignations, including lawyers in the White House Counsel’s Office.”

But not with any enthusiasm, I think — more like the vague thought that it might not be a bad idea. (Then Hitler showed the world what that would really look like, and the idea lost popularity.)
The only example I know of that’s actually from that time is a character in a Dorothy Sayers novel, who went around talking about the Sterilization of the Unfit and was more a figure of fun than anything else.
People who want to set up an underground railroad for abortion care need to figure out how to do it without social media. My concern is not that these companies will provide data directly to the state (although they might). I’m more concerned about their penchant for selling user data to increase their revenue. Isn’t their whole revenue stream based on selling data for targeted advertising? Now that the Chisto-Fascists have control of the SCOTUS all that dark money needs a place to go.

re: #147 No Malarkey!
I understand it, but the notion of breeding humans like livestock to “improve the race” is morally abhorrent, not to mention the fact that selective breeding is most often used to enhance certain features preferred by the breeders with little regard for the overall well being of the animals.
Heinlein had the only version that I might be willing to sign on to — make active efforts to prevent inherited diseases from being passed on, try to conserve “good” traits, and don’t presume you have the wisdom to redesign the species. All of it on a strictly voluntary basis.

The Long Shadow of Eugenics in America
As young girls, the Relf sisters were sterilized without consent.
In the summer of 1973, Minnie Lee and Mary Alice were taken from their home in Montgomery, cut open and sterilized against their will and without the informed consent of their parents by a physician working in a federally funded clinic. The Relf case would change the course of history: A lawsuit filed on their behalf, Relf v. Weinberger, helped reveal that more than 100,000 mostly Black, Latina and Indigenous women were sterilized under U.S. government programs over decades. It also officially ended this practice and forced doctors to obtain informed consent before performing sterilization procedures — though as it would turn out, forced sterilizations by state governments would continue into the 21st century.

again, the theory is fine, but in practice, it is far from voluntary nor is it used for the overall good but rather to advance a particular ideology (namely that one race is superior to others)

re: #175 lawhawk
That’s like an average 10+ point swing in a week.
By November, it should be more than that because the GOP keep doubling down on what they want to do, the rights they want to strip away, and the safety net they want to shred.
It still matters that these people have to GOTV. They have to take back seats in Congress, especially in the Senate. They have to win local elections. They have to roll back GOP efforts across the nation, and have to build a coalition that will keep voting year after year to save democracy and stop the fucking fascist GOP.
If the Dems pick up a few more seats in the Senate (totally doable), and keep the house (looking more probable now than a week ago), they HAVE to nuke the filibuster and expand the court. They have to be bold. The SCOTUS cannot continue to exist in the current form. The stakes are just too high. Codifying abortion or marriage equality isn’t enough. They have to make the court non theocratic again.
re: #205 JC1
Path to the size of the Court hinges on historical nature of the Court’s relationship to the number of circuits.
Match the number of justices to the circuits.
How you comprise the court could also be done on a rotating basis. Chief Justice is consistent, but other justices rotate in and out on a regular defined schedule based on the senior circuit court of appeals justices. It would reduce the chances one party could game the Court’s docket to end democracy and roll back rights.
I would like to see these recent SCOTUS rulings as the last great hurrah of a movement in decline heralding in the demise of the GOP and its backwards social policies.
The Midterms could give us that if the Dems keep up the pressure and remind us that the GOP is coming after abortion rights for ALL women in America and for other minority right as well.

In my lifetime, only one political party has been working to end democracy and roll back rights, but history has shown that can change. In our nation, only those who are intellectual heirs of Jefferson Davis and his Confederacy have consistently had that goal.

From what I read, they didn’t renew his contract for exactly what you said. He’s the one who sued for violating his religious freedom, and the theocrats on the Supreme Court decided it was a good vehicle to install Christianity as our religion.
