So when the supreme court rules, women’s wombs are jurisdiction of the federal government. You all clap and cheer along? But when they rule, the federal government has jurisdiction over a national border. You all boo and threaten to secede? It’s almost as if you don’t care about “law and order.”
These are the thoughts that have been on my mind lately as I observe the conflicting reactions when it comes to different Supreme Court rulings. On one hand, we see the celebration and support when the court upholds laws that restrict a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.… Continue reading
Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy
It honestly baffles me how the American political system operates. As an outsider, I can’t help but notice the blatant barriers that are put in place to discourage people from voting. In my country, the Netherlands, the government sends the ballot to your home address automatically once you turn 18. There’s no need to register, stand in long lines, or travel great distances.

If what they are saying is true, wouldn’t that mean that Trump is dangerously incompetent and unqualified because he did nothing to address the threat?

On Wednesday, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter that “brainwashed people” who move from California and New York need a “cooling-off period.” Her comment was in response to a Twitter user who wrote he supports discriminating against Democratic transplants, including restricting their ability to vote for a period of time. He also wrote that they should have to “pay a tax for their sins.”
Republicans are waging full scale war on our voting institutions. This isn’t some off hand joke, it’s a statement from an elected US official. She deadass believes this, and odds are good that swaths of republicans do as well.… Continue reading
