Anti-abortion advocates are running ads to find & encourage men to betray and sue their partners. This makes me sick. wapo.st/40nfmD2

This also precisely describes the animating vision of the American Right and the Republican Party as its parliamentary arm. It’s their defining political project.

They're also doing the same on immigration, "hotlines to report undocumented neighbors"

Deputizing everyday citizens to police others. Sounds like slave hunting. Which is also how policing began in America.

I was trying to remember what percentage of East German citizens were working as Stasi informants. But yeah, this was American and came first.

Remember that the go-to argument for the right to own AR-15s & other military hardware is that they might be needed to overthrow a government which threatened our liberties. If the government wants to threaten Those People's liberties, however, the well-regulated militias will eagerly join in.

Hopefully they'll never get laid again! ✊️

@thomaszimmer.bsky.social How can women possibly date in the circumstances?

I hate this country now. It’s a war against women and the marginalized.
Everything we fought for for generations is gone.

Bondi mentioned the “pregnancy”centers when asked about protecting the SAFE act

And plenty enough Democrats are too fucking stupid to oppose. Don't forget that humanity is being failed in every possible direction.

They didn't get the initial reaction they were hoping for (no women to punish via the snitch line) so now they're going to market to men with a grudge against women, including women who rejected them, to turn them in to the State for punishment. No words to describe how fucked up that is.
