I’m not going to hail Barrett and Roberts for allowing us to count our votes. It’s a huge win for democracy, but it shouldn’t have even been a question. That we were one vote away from disenfranchising votes is all the more reason to expand the court in 2029.

JFC! The right already stripped abortion rights from millions of women. Contraception is next.
Project 2025 made the agenda clear. This was never about saving babies. It’s about control, pushing women back into submission and forcing more births.

You can better understand any political party's position on any issue, by first understanding whose interests they are trying to protect.
As a rule of thumb, it's never going to be yours.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
