The states’ rights case for determining abortion access — let the people decide — falters on the fact that in many states, the people cannot shape their legislature to their liking. Packed and split into districts designed to preserve Republican control, voters cannot actually dislodge anti-abortion Republican lawmakers. A pro-choice majority may exist, but only as a shadow: present but without substance in government.

    NYT once again leveragingthe “opinion” section to pretend that they aren’t helping republiQan fascists at every turn.

    Yeah the opinion section is great (and horrible, because b0tH SiDeZ). But the actual fucking news articles are jam-packed with minimizing, weaselly words, both-sidesing, normalization of criminality, and a frankly incomprehensible inability to just say the actual fucking truth.

    Get fucked NYT. Wring a few more “her emails” out of the horse race why don’t ya.

      “FBI finds no clear link to russia” ONE DAY before the election that put an obvious russian asset in the white house.

      Remember that, you fucking bastards?
