I was struck by the mention of tech products, because damn if it isn’t true. And it’s not just subscription services. When I was that age, you got a free cell phone every time you re-upped your contract. To get a top of the line cell phone you maybe had to pay a bit more. Now we’ve conditioned everyone to pay for $800+…

right, this is another whole article in which the title can be answered in 1 sentence: Because they are broke.

At first I thought it’d be different if it were their daughters but then I realized they’d probably be the ones responsible

The somehow even more fucked up part about all of this... anti-abortion assholes are saying “You didn’t read the whole story, she was able to go to Indiana”. Like somehow having to cross state lines to get something she could have got locally last week is NBD and that things are still normal.

This has always been the case. It is their job to investigate you and make sure that you aren’t actually going to burn anything down.

This is also likely a result of what passes for “sex education” on the right these days. Some of things kids in Christian schools and conservative circles are being taught are truly bonkers – stuff that has zero basis in fact but is being taught because it validates their extreme views about human sexuality.

Fuckers keep saying the quiet part out loud. They need their serfs and indentured servants.

And yet they are against immigration, which also depletes the “labor force.”

They're really, really pissed off they can't just outwardly fuck kids aren't they?

And she’s married to a white man. Just because she adopted two Black children doesn't mean she's incapable of racism. 

He forgets, or he just doesn’t think the leopards will eat his face.

It is ludicrous that he could believe he can somehow get his fellow conservative justices to back him on overturning same-sex marriage and birth control, but not interracial marriage. I mean, has he MET Amy Barrett? That white conservative christian woman is exactly the type of person to decide that Loving v Virginia…

The spiralling ‘holier than thou’ dipshit would argue himself back into being 3/5ths of a person if he fucking could just to spite other people.

it doesn’t feel slow. Seems like starting in 2016 it’s been jumping to hyper speed.

The complete lack of prosecutions for it shows it pretty much already is.

No the Democrats don’t control the Senate thanks to two DINO’s who would rather watch the country burn if they can stand on the top of the ash heap.

Now that these states are poised to outlaw abortion fully, their next steps will be to expand access to contraceptives, work to improve maternal health, guarantee maternal leave, make daycare more affordable, and expand pre-K programs, right?

I wish I was more surprised. Progress is not inevitable and I really think this country as we know it will be ending sooner than anyone expected. 

Fuck...
