It would help accountability a lot, and allow you to impose tighter standards on police recruitment and training. It would also reduce the effects of day-to-day racism, in the form of many small police forces making their budgets in the form of tickets and fines disproportionately aimed at poorer non-white folks. 

Not just in terms of that but also how US police seems to lack and sort of Federal oversight that stops those who finally get any sort of consequences in one area are able to just hop on over to another jurisdiction and do the same thing there with a clean sheet.

Oh good. I’m so glad she’s talked to the children of rape before deciding that everything was peachy-keen for their mothers. Didn’t need to talk to them. I’m sure they were all thrilled to bear their rapists’ babies. I bet it was super-healing.

Cherry on top: she knows it’s healing because she’s talked to children of rape.

The good news is, if a woman does not want to abort a child conceived of rape, they don’t have to.

The disconnect there is astounding! And talking like she knows many kids fathered by rapists, gag, the BS coming out of her mouth. She lies.

A 14 year old can give birth to her rapist’s baby, but she can’t check out the Diary of Anne Frank at her school library because that's inappropriate content.

Yeah, I found that hilarious/horrifying. For someone to say - out loud - that “candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome”, as if it’s some odd exception to the norm, just stopped me dead.

That’s the United States writ small. The blue states contribute more in taxes to the government than they get from it, and the red states (lower taxes! stand on your own two feet! pull yourself up by your bootstraps, you ignorant barefoot peasant!) take more in tax money from the feds than they put in.

Saying that candidate quality matters in statewide elections is also a tacit admission that absolutely incompetent nincompoops can run in and win House races, because Republicans have successfully gerrymandered so many states.

They always do this in Baton Rouge. They shit all over New Orleans because it’s majority-Black and Democrat, while parasitically sponging off the city’s booming tourist economy because the state is a backwards and useless economic dead end.

Speaking as a landlord, I do not understand others who are anti-taking those on assistance. It literally makes no sense beyond just being prejudicial trash. You’re telling me my rent payment is pretty much guaranteed? AND there’s an agency I can go to if you start causing problems on the property that will help…

Nah, his licenses are PISSED. 

Yep. People, especially white people are stupidly easy to manipulate through their own insulation and fears of the world around them. The GOP knows this and exploits despite being destructive racists themselves. I imagine this is why they have gone all-in on recruiting white nationalists/supremacists to their ranks.

Right. So they decided to sleep walk through the last 10 years, confident that the GOP will take liberties away from the “undeserving”. The good, god fearing, patriots were safe.

tl;dr - just because these people aren’t cool with the most extreme anti-abortion position one can possibly take (which is basically where the GOP at large is,) doesn’t mean they agree with whatever you think the rules should be, or that they’re your allies in any other way.

This is nice and all but let’s see how it actually plays out during the Midterms and in 2024 and if people actually go out and vote when it counts... 

Just to clarify, Thomas wants to overturn the right to contraception and gay marriage, but never mentioned the case that legalized interracial marriage.  I wonder why?

I always knew the republicans would gut RvW when they got the chance. If it had been made a federal law when the Dems had a majority, it wouldn’t have been an issue. But since it was just a ruling, it’s time would have come.

I can’t help but remain skeptical, given that Republicans have been promising to ban abortion and gutting access to reproductive care for years
