WASHINGTON (AP) — Resignations came quickly this week from two congressmen accused of sexual misconduct toward staff members. Yet for many of the women of Capitol Hill, the moment of accountability was years in the making — and far from enough.
Reps. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, and Tony Gonzales, a Texas Republican, both announced within hours of each other Monday that they were leaving Congress. Their decisions came the day before the House returned to Washington and as both faced the prospect of being expelled from the chamber by their colleagues.

I don't care how this would work out, but I am 100% behind this.
US Supreme Court rejects Colorado's ban on LGBT 'conversion' talk therapy
US Supreme Court rejects Colorado's ban on LGBT 'conversion' talk therapy. The justices, in a 8-1 ruling, reversed a lower court's decision that had upheld the law in a case brought by Kaley Chiles, who argued that it violated the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment protections against government abridgment of free speech.
The ruling, authored by conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, rejected Colorado's argument that its law regulated professional conduct, not protected speech. The court held open the possibility that the law could apply to certain forms of conversion therapy, including so-called "aversive" physical interventions, but not to Chiles' speech at issue here.

SCOTUS is okay regulating women's bodies, transgender people, but still want to make life worse for our transgender youth. We need to expand the Court also.
I HATE SCOTUS.
Pregnant Georgian took an abortion drug. Now she's in jail on murder charge
Georgia’s abortion law has been tested in civil courts often since its 2019 passage. The Living Infants Fairness and Equality (LIFE) Act could soon see its first day in criminal court.
A Kingsland woman, Alexia Moore, was arrested March 4 in connection to the Dec. 30 death of her prematurely born baby girl. Moore allegedly told hospital nurses she’d taken the opioid oxycodone and the abortion pill misoprostol because she wanted her baby, a girl, to die.
We are now living The Handmaid's Tale.

DemsRule86 Update
Taking out the blood clots was SUCCESSFUL!! My incredible wife will be on blood thinners, but the important thing is she will be home.
Demsrule86 in hospital
I'm her husband, and I have some bad news. She's in ICU with blood clots near her heart. Going to thread up her blood vessels to try to remove.
Prayers, Good Thoughts, Good Karma, etc. is welcome and needed.
Party future
I think the party’s leaders have no idea how pissed off the members are. We want zero help for the Republicans.
Also, being fully indentured to AIPAC, doesn’t help. If the leadership won’t condemn a genocide, we have no moral clarity.
Also, ever since the Ronnie Raygun tax cuts, we never reversed any of them, except Clinton.
What about giving D.C. and Peurto Rico states?
Expanding SCOTUS?
My children, who are all in their 30s, vote Blue, but only see rightward laws.
My country
I can’t believe how fast a country has become pro-fascist. I know about the polls, but tRump and Miller don’t give a shit. When the mustache got elevated he had only 40% or less.
We have armed militias kidnapping people, the Fourth Amendment is dead, SCOTUS said it’s alright to randomly stop and frisk people.
I’m of the belief that martial law will be called and elections cancelled.
All the big money corporations still back him 100%.
But what gets me is we have no way out if he just goes full fascist and declare himself above the law.
Setting the narrative
With the Reich Wing MSM, now the narrative is the pedo president saves the country from high crime rates.
No matter what happens, we have to be able to flood the zone. We have Newson trolling the shit out of him, where is our DNC media apparatus? We are getting our asses kicked .
Short Attention Span
Due to my illness, I take painkillers ad have the attention span of a gnat. Love post-apoplectic books. Shorter books and no series. Up to 500 pages.
Thanks for any recommendations.
Beto O'Rourke at Rally Against Redistricting: "F-- The Rules, We're Going To Win Whatever It Takes
BETO O'ROURKE: We're not going to let him stop us -- are you with me on that?
It also means... we don't await the punch thrown by these would-be fascists to land, we punch first and we punch harder. We want California and New Jersey and Illinois and Maryland and every other state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the assembly, and the Senate to redraw their congressional districts now. Not wait for Texas to go first. To maximize Democratic Party advantage.
Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those aren't the rules. There are no refs in this game, f--k the rules, we are going to win whatever it takes. We're going to take this to them in every way that we can!

There is no coming back from fascism. If our politicians are not willing to fight, screw them.
