NPR guidance: we won’t be calling the people who stormed the Capitol ‘protestors’ - they are ‘pro-Trump extremists’ and what they are doing is ‘insurrection’.

This stupid #StopTheSteaI2021 should be for the Dem’s call to decry Trump’s antics at trying to steal a lawful election that he lost. Trump is DELUSIONAL. His followers need anger managment training to deal with disappointment. Sore losers who are mobsters should be shut down.

Why is one Republican Senator after another — even after what happened today — so terrified of standing up in any way to Trump?

Let’s be clear that the authoritarian, coerced-birth extremists do NOT care about life. They are FASCISTS who want to control society according to a narrow set of ideas, to dictate behavior, and to suppress expression of ideas contrary to their own. They are not democratic at all

When I talk to people about the medical/legal implications of TN’s upcoming abortion ban, women react with disbelief because the potential consequences are so dire. Men insist that I’m wrong. So in the public interest, I interviewed an expert. Please share.chattanoogan.com/2022/8/19/4544…

Contacted Booking.com about an unknown charge to my credit card. Supplied the info they requested to track the item. Called customer svc & guy suggested contacting my cc to remove charge. Customer service means SOLVING THE PROBLEM u created not making more work for customers!

Glenn Jacobs A thousand TN doctors signed an open letter to TN lawmakers saying TN’s abortion law, the most extreme in the US that hasn’t been stayed by a judge, will endanger the lives and health of pregnant women, including those undergoing cancer treatment. Nothing to be proud of there.

I urge my former colleagues in the #TNLeg to see sense & dispense with expulsion. Actions by Representatives in question may have been disruptive, as I have been, but are 100% protected by the Constitution & do not rise to the level of expulsion. That's democracy. Full stop.

Tennessee House of Representatives shame on you! Pearson & Jones should not have been expelled. There were other measures as Rep. Joe Town Sr. stated. Something is wrong with the way the house is operating. #abuseofpower Carla Askonas Missy Crutchfield Keelythefarrist

Are you mad about what's happening in Tennessee? Here's your chance to do something about it. There will be special elections soon to fill the seats of the expelled Democrats. We can vote Reps. Jones and Pearson right back in. Help us support them: secure.actblue.com/donate/vsatn

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

Holy moly! Gregg Abbott HATES this abortion ad, one of the most powerful ads ever made. RT and use the hashtag #VoteDemRestoreRoe to send it far and wide!
