I talked to a guy at the Trump rally who thinks women should be forced to give birth but doesn’t want the government “forcing people to do things against their choice”

I spotted the first sign off of 17 in Jacksonville, NC yesterday. The other was seen in Wilmington a few days ago. Anyone know anything about this group?

Please share if you can. Finding anything at all about this group is proving difficult. Thank you!

@Acyn Right sunshine!

Here’s Liz Cheney’s closing statement in last night’s debate among the Republican candidates for representative from Wyoming.

Watch the whole thing.

(And cf. Edmund Burke, Speech to the Electors of Bristol, Nov. 3,

"I will never put party above my duty to the country. I will never put party above my duty to the Constitution. I swore an oath under God and I will abide by that oath. I won't say something that I know is wrong simply to earn the votes of people, to earn political support."

"So, I'm asking for your vote and I'm asking you to understand that I will never violate my oath of office. And if you're looking for somebody who will, then you need to vote for somebody else on this stage because I won't. I will always put my oath first."

And here's Burke:

"Certainly, Gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a Representative, to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the most unreserved communication with his constituents.

"Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and, above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interest to his own.

MUST-READ: The fall of Roe didn't happen overnight. It's the result of a decades-long effort by extreme anti-abortion lawmakers to peddle misinformation and pass laws to chip away our rights.

HERE is how Republican lawmakers & judges have been mobilizing for a post-Roe America⬇️

Just hours after SCOTUS overturned Roe, ARKANSAS Attorney General Leslie Rutledge confirmed that abortion is now immediately illegal. AR is one of 13 states with “trigger bans” which will prohibit abortion within 30 days of Roe's fall—several of which took effect the day of.

In five states without trigger laws—Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, and South Carolina—courts have blocked or struck down recent laws that banned most or all abortions. Without Roe, those laws will probably take effect within weeks or months. (WaPo)

FLORIDA has been preparing for a 15-week abortion ban to go into effect today, July 1, after Gov. DeSantis signed the ban into law in April—widely considered to model the Mississippi law which was considered by SCOTUS in Dobbs v JWHO.

FLORIDA's Governor DeSantis also vetoed $2 million meant to help low-income people access long-acting birth control—which had been sent to his desk with bipartisan support.

January 6: Seated directly behind the front seat in the presidential SUV, watch a very animated Trump lurch forward toward the driver several times, as they prepare to leave the rally.

My personal take on what was the craziest part of this hearing:

The Secret Service knew untold masses of people were armed and dangerous and just let them march to the Capitol. The only person they bothered to stop from going to the Capitol was Trump.

So when Trump gets the news that Pence's life is in danger, his security detail has to sneak him into a loading dock, and he's begging the Pentagon to clear the capitol building, the Secret Service ensured that outcome by doing absolutely nothing.

Here’s why Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony to the January 6th committee was the end for Trump from a prosecution standpoint
(Thread)

Trump’s whole “case” relies on 3 “defenses”:
1. He really believed he had won the election and it was “stolen from him”
2. He exercised what he thought were his legal options in response to that; and the mob he incited was just an unplanned protest that got out of hand

3. He didn’t know how bad it was getting at the Capitol, otherwise he would have called off his supporters

Trump’s whole defense relies on plausible deniability.

The January 6th committee has systematically and unequivocally destroyed each line of his defense one by one.

The first round of hearings demonstrated that Trump was repeatedly told by his own advisers, staff, family and cabinet members that he’d lost the election. This destroyed any potential effort for him to sustain an air of innocence around his alleged “belief” to the contrary.

The second round illustrated Trump’s relentless corrupt pressure campaign on Pence to abuse his power as VP to delay the electoral count in Congress. This would buy time for states to “revisit the voting,” “find” fraud/votes and certify electors for Trump, tipping the election.

Yes delete your period app. But also don’t arrange rides for people to get abortions on Facebook. Don’t google “where to get an abortion” if you live in Texas. Don’t go to a protest unmasked. The privacy violations that are coming go so much deeper than period apps.

Use Signal or another encrypted app for communication. Use Duck Duck Go as your browser. Wear a mask. Pay for your pregnancy test in cash and don’t scan your Target circle app at the register.
