Alabama's IVF ruling puts Republicans in a political bind

Emmett Till mother had her son casket open to show what society did to her son.

Maybe this needs to happen again to show what society & their voting choices did to these kids.

Ignore them. and VOTE! The only poll that matters is the election itself.

We really, really have to take this seriously. This is Democrats only chance to save our democracy.❤️🌊💙

scopOphilic_micromessaging_451 - scopOphilic1997 presents a new micro-messaging series: small, subtle, and often unintentional messages we send and receive verbally and non-verbally.

US mid-term elections have begun voting. We’ve done our part to save democracy, please do yours. Not only will we lose our ability to choose what to do with our bodies, but social security and medicare are on the line, LGBTQ+ marriage, the economy, and the rule-of-law may be taken from US, if we continue electing officials who go against our own best interests. Fear is not a governing element!

Some voting rights info for everyone. PLEASE make every effort to get out and vote. We are on the precipice of fascism and we need to deploy every tool in the toolbox to protect democracy - especially with bodily autonomy, lgbtq+ rights, voting rights, affirmative action, and other human rights issues on the line. If you’re afraid of voter intimidation in your area, arm yourself with the phone numbers in slides 2 and 3, get pictures of anyone who attempts to intimidate you out of voting, and if you’re afraid try to go in a group if you can. It’s ludicrous that this is necessary, but here we are. We need to learn from history and fight like hell to be counted. It’s also not too late to throw some support (donations, volunteering, etc) to candidates in close races, like @betoorourke or @valdemings - it could still make a difference. As for me in Massachusetts, I urge you to join me in voting for the following candidates and ballot measures: Governor/Lt Gov: Healey/Driscoll Attorney General: Andrea Campbell Secretary of State: William F Galvin Treasurer: Deborah Goldberg Auditor: Diana Dizoglio The rest: vote straight Democrat down ticket, obviously. Ballot questions: YES on all 4. Godspeed, everyone. #voting #vote #votingrights #voterintimidation #voterintimidationisillegal #voterintimidationhotlines #voterregistration #votersuppression #votebluetosaveamerica #votedemocrat #voteblue #midterms #midtermelections #politics #reproductiverights #bodilyautonomy #lgbtqrights #lgbtrights #affirmativeaction https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckov_QruSyd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Help Federal Government ! They Ripping Us Off in Broad Daylight...

Though Frederick Banting co-discovered insulin at the turn of the century — winning the Nobel for it in 1923 — the turn of the millennium brought a new, more horrific discovery:

Big Pharma. With drug prices creeping up steadily since the 1990s in the U.S., insulin became the poster child of a crisis. Its prices have been going up with abandon, and, increasingly, diabetics can barely afford it, if at all.

In 2016, nearly a century after Banting won the Nobel, those with type 1 diabetes spent an average of $5,705 out of pocket per person on insulin annually, per a report from the Health Care Cost Institute. Meanwhile, median household income in the U.S. in 2016 was just $59,309. Insulin alone could gobble up 10% of a person’s income. 

The Republicans Blocked the Bill That would Cap the Price of Insulin at $35.00.

We Must Unite to Vote Them Out...

Clarence Thomas writes, in a concurring opinion, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Anyone Over 18 years old in the United States, get your ass & register to vote! These people are coming for the LGBTQ community next, Affirmative Action is next, we are going backwards!

"We're a constitutional republic, not a democracy."

The number one sentence to let you know the person doesn't understand basic civics or the Constitution. "Republic" is shorthand for a representative democracy. Who are our representatives representing? Us citizens, who voted them into office. That's the democracy part.

Riding the 🌊!

Talk the talk. Walk the walk. Vote like your benefits and new contract depends on it because it does. Don’t sit this out. #VoteHochul #VoteDemocrat (at Mott Haven, Bronx) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjGWvEpEpZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
