if you identify as a woman and you're reading this you're better off running to any other state, province, or country that actually cares about women's rights as it's clear that the rich want to control any and all women

it ain't fear mongering if shit like this is blatantly happening

Women are welcome in Oregon, come on over. We actually give a shit about reproductive freedom here.

Texan checking in. We visited my wife’s family up north, and it was absolutely refreshing how open her entire family was about supporting things like reproductive rights. Her entire family is hardline irish catholic, but even they were like “nah you guys need to get out of Texas ASAP, cuz that place is killing women left and right.” Even the Irish catholics are less extreme about pro-life stuff in the north.

The last time we had a war about Southern states telling Northern states they had to follow the south's bullshit laws the north kicked the south's ass. Your laws only apply to your states dipshits.

I’ve said before, and I’ll say again: The next time they try to secede, LET THEM GO!

Fuck that. Crush their leaders. One nation, indivisible.

We were way, way, way, way too gentle on the ex-confederacy last time.

Maybe just think about it for like a full minute..

What do you think happens when there are millions of people living in squalor under fascist rule within driving/walking distance of another country's borders?

One can daydream....

After they announcd secession DC should immediate come out and say something like

"the North accepts upon condition that any and all who want to leave the south can freely do so, without hindrance, at the cost of the state, within the next 30days, and any and all from the north sympathetic are henceforth required to join the south in their ranks, within the next 30 days. If you choose to stay, continuing the campaigns of hate will find you deported to the other side, at the cost of total seizure of your estate. Citizenships will be repealed accordingly and people can apply for a visa if they want to visit. The national guard is working in conjunction with border patrol to secure our new borders. As I speak we have already shut down every freeway and highway, and work has already begun putting bollards in every smaller road. Barbed wire is already being set until completion of the new American DMZ. That's right folks, we're gonna build that wall. Anyone tries to get back in here we have to cross the minefields, robodogs, automatic sentries and Rebecca Flack music"

NASA and the military EVAC immediately.

The military laughed and told Texas to go fuck itself -immediately, completely unprovoked, like the secretary just couldn't wait to live that mic and poke the hornets nest- once Roe was scuttled, that they'll decide for themselves what rules they follow and what they consider medicine. The bases are federal land after all. If the generals happily spit in the face of their culture war nonsense, someone has got to be living in delulu to think any aspect of the military or government agencies would be left behind for the neo-confederates.

How much money is being spent on this I wonder... enough to fix the electrical grid?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t think even they know the answer to that because they have no intention of fixing the electrical grid, so they’ve had no incentive to do the math.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Are you sure, because I have a copy of Ted Cruz's research on the matter right here

1 pitiful excuse of an electrical grid + 0 degree temperatures = 1 trip to Cancun

Why in the fuck is it any of their business what a woman (or anyone for that matter) does??

They don't own them.

Fuck these fucking vile evil people.

Did you know that Ken Paxton was scientifically proven to be a cunt?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I do. In fact, I peer reviewed it.
