Based and actually good advice
From a hotel in another city or a distant but good friend's place. Avoid the black eyes please.

Ah, but republican men are pushing for laws to make it difficult or even illegal to divorce them without permission.
That’s likely why they said “while you still can”, but yeah.
See, now if a billionaire would just finance divorce lawyers for this, then I might have a second thing on my list of things that billionaires are good for.
I was about to ask you what the first thing was.
Then my stomach rumbled.

They're preparing to strip women from voting, like in the good ol' times.
We're not going to let that happen. I refuse to go backwards.
I refuse to go backward too, but they overuled Roe, which my aunties told me would NEVER happen. So just not going back isn't enough. We have to move forward.
Well if early indicators are correct, not only will Kamala win, it's possible to retake congress.
To state the obvious... Go Vote, bring your friends, every vote counts. Especially when it comes to down ballot.
Well if early indicators are correct, not only will Kamala win, it’s possible to retake congress.
Don't do that. Don't give me that kind of hope.

It would be the sweetest nectar if a woman beat that misogynistic, rapey carnival barker.
A black woman.
One of my favorite anti-Trump signs said, "God kept Trump alive so he could lose to a black woman."

We already have, babe. Bodily autonomy for us is no longer a guarantee.
Already happened /s

The fact that they're still married to these assholes is beyond me at this point.
I hope that the trend that young people have of not wanting to fuck Republicans hold because seriously, stop fucking Republicans by stop fucking Republicans.
You get into these things when you’re younger and it’s very hard to get out again later.

I wouldn't say don't fuck republicans, but do not marry one without a prenup because there is like a 90% chance they'll go insane because they saw non-white bandaids on a shelf or something
They want to make contraception and abortions both illegal.
Dont fuck Republicans, it'll have a very long tail if you do.
If you are a woman voting Republican you are literarily voting for people that see you as subhuman. They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.
If you're part of a caste system, you don't have to be at the top to endorse it. We saw this play out in South Africa during apartheid to devastating effect for decades.
Building increasingly narrow traunches of hierarchy guarantees nearly everyone will have someone else they can bully. White women might be subhuman relative to white men, but they're ubermensch compared to pocs, foreigners, and white children.
They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.
They see you as fulfilling a particular role and revile you for failing to fulfill that role. For all the noise about individual liberties, conservatives are just as collectivist as the rest of us when it comes time to talk about honor and obligation. The only question is what obligations are due and to whom.
If they’re scared to tell you they don’t like Donald trump, maybe you should reevaluate how you treat your wife and family. Jesus Christ
bro, people like us, we see our wives as actual people. it's just not like that for them.

Don't let crazy stick its dick in you.
I have a suggestion for the "men" who are mad that their wives now have agency
As much of a controversial term as it can be, this is why we need Feminism, with a capital F. Go wives! Do what you know you must! Do not let your husbands control you! Never go back!
Feminism is only controversial to reactionaries.
Everyone else thinks women should be equal members of society.
Wave that feminism flag!

I saw a man push his wheelchair bound wife up to the voting booth, then he pressed the buttons for her, then pushed her out of the way and entered his votes. The whole time the poll workers were just letting it happen.
Report that shit.

maga "men"
I don't even think it works in ironic quotations. No man with any true virtue, decency, civility, and honor wants to rob women of their own agency. The concept makes me fucking sick to the core of my being. It is morally reprehensible, and unforgivable. It honestly gets me enraged.
I have lived through reagan, bush, clinton, bush ii, obama, trump and biden...i am frightened for the first time since Nighthorse-Campbell changed affiliation...are we ready to go through this again?
Anyone who lived through 9/11 and didn't feel particularly frightened about what would happen next simply wasn't paying attention
I was worried it might cause anti-foreigner hate that would snowball into the US becoming like Nazi Germany.
Thank goodness THAT didn't happen!

Let's hope!
It's funny how GRRRR mad this is making the skidmarks.
They are. Go find the others and be with them. Say, the South Pole?
