remember how before the 2016 election we all kept telling you that y'all literally needed to vote for Hillary even if you didn't like her, because a Trump presidency would have devastating, lasting effects for decades to come? especially since he would get Supreme Court nominations? and y'all went "but she isn't the PERFECT LIBERAL CANDIDATE" and didn't vote for her? and then Trump won? DO YOU FUCKING REMEMBER? because now, thanks to Trump appointees, Roe v Wade has been overturned. so congrats, I guess? are you glad you decided to not vote for the better of the two candidates simply because she wasn't perfectly aligned with your idealized version of liberalism? ARE YOU GLAD?

#This is such fucking bullshit #I am just so disgusted #This was preventable #This was PREVENTABLE #But no #Y'all decided that anyone who wasn't Bernie was bad so you just weren't gunna vote for Hillary #I'm just so angry #Abortion #pro choice

“If it is your personal belief, based on whatever, that there is no legitimate basis for abortion — even if you're in the hospital and you're bleeding out, even if you're told that you have cancer and chemotherapy is necessary and therefore an abortion is necessary — no matter what, you get to make that decision. I might not agree with it, but you get to make that decision.

But you, and those who support your particular point-of-view, cannot dictate that decision to every other woman.

In a pluralistic democracy like ours, the court in Roe v. Wade said the government is not going to make this decision.

If these Supreme Court justices and the very extreme Republicans who support them really cared about children, why don't they support health care for every pregnant woman in our country? Why do they let a big state like Texas deny health care, because they won't expand Medicaid, to mothers who want to have their children? And they therefore have the highest rate of maternal mortality in America.

Why don't they support child care, so that, if a mother is going to be forced to give birth to a child, that mother will be able to support herself and her child because she will be able to go out and work. And the list goes on.

This is not, at the end of the analysis, about anything other than controlling women with some kind of patriarchal view of society that they want to impose on the rest of us.

Democrats need to be willing to point out the extremism that has captured the Republican Party and to make it clear this is not about special interest groups. This is not about one group of Americans vs. another. This is about the rise of authoritarianism within our own country.

This is a direct attack on our democracy.

Americans took for granted that, despite opposition to reproductive choice, it would not go away.

There was a complacency, an acceptance.

During the 2016 campaign, I gave speeches about this. I talked about the dangers that would be posed to this right and other rights if my opponent were elected, because of the promises he'd made to the extreme factions within the Republican Party.

And, honestly, people didn't believe me.

Their attitude was, oh, that sounds really farfetched. That will never happen.

Oftentimes, in politics, the entrenched status-quo position is not as vigorously defended as the opposition position. And so those who wanted to overturn Roe, those who wanted to turn the clock back, were very motivated. And those who said, oh, well, that's settled law, including people sitting on the court, when asked in their confirmation hearings, gave every reason to reassure the American public — telling us they follow past precedent.

Either they have had some kind of brain change, or they were deliberately misleading the American people.

So, yes, the energy was on the side to overturn. Now I hope that energy will shift to the side of those of us who want to protect the progress we have made.

This is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, and even lives of American women.

It is heartbreaking to see this court dominated by extremists who do not represent the majority of Americans, men and women, who believe that this is a right that women should have — doing all they can to set the clock back.

This is the first time, perhaps, that I'm aware of, that a right will actually be taken away.

So, what can be done?

There has to be a recognition that, as horrible assault as this is on women's rights, it is perhaps only the beginning of this court trying to undo so much of the progress of the last 50 years.

Now saying there is no right to privacy — that Roe was decided wrongly.

Roe followed a case called Griswold, which struck down a law prohibiting married heterosexual couples from having access to contraception.

It served as the basis of decriminalizing consenting sexual behavior between gay people who were adults and able to express their own feelings toward one another. It certainly underpins gay marriage. So, this is a real threat to our democracy, not just to the rights of women.

I don't care what political party or religion you are — the question is, who decides?

Is the government going to be in your bedroom?

Is the government going to be making these decisions?

We're only at the beginning of this terrible travesty that this court has inflicted on us.

The ultimate goal of the decision is truly to erase the progress that women have made from the last 150 years.

There are so many things about it that are deeply distressing, but women are going to die.

Women will die.

These justices were selected for this very purpose.

You’ve got to give the other side lots points for their relentlessness, their total commitment to getting what they want done, regardless of who is hurt by it and regardless of who is stripped of rights.

Everybody now understands that this is not necessarily the only effort that we're going to see this court undertake to turn back the clock on civil rights and gay rights and women's rights beyond abortion.”

—Hillary Clinton

this is my 68-year-old former republican, former pro-life, deep-south-resident father. he left the party when it became the party of trump in 2015, and has since grown from a centrist-conservative never-trumper to being more and more liberal and thoughtful. this is an argument i have made in the past, which he previously bluntly disagreed with, but clearly has since thought more about it, and now here we are.

people are capable of changing for the better, even at his age. i do grant that, as i said, he never drank the trump kool-aid and was so disgusted by the man from the start that he changed his party affiliation, but he proudly supported bush and mccain and romney at their times. not everyone is beyond the point of listening and changing their minds, not even when they're approaching their seventies.

it is not okay to dismiss or come down on people for past viewpoints and arguments if they have since reconsidered them and changed their minds. you have to let people grow. and of course you can't always have the spoons for political debates and considering all sides and where the other party is coming from, and it's easy to lose your temper and assume that the other party is acting in malice, but -- genuinely, honestly, spoken by someone from the bible belt -- most of the time they aren't. yes, some people are beyond listening and would take the work of years to chip away at the cult conditioning, but you have to be able to tell the difference between those people and the ones who simply have not been exposed to this perspective.

people can grow at any age. it's part of being human.

#politics for ts #us politics for ts #abortion rights #pro-choice #i was so pleasantly surprised to see this this morning #i... honestly i have been very lucky considering where my family is that most of them who were republicans left the party in 2015 #and even the ones who did vote for him in 2016 #a) did so ''while holding their noses'' bc (eyeroll) ~~hillary is so awful~~ rather than bc they actually supported him #and b) regretted it and refused to vote for him by 2020 and even my then-90-year-old grandmother was horrified at 1/6 #and if you're thinking ''op that's hardly something to feel good about'' you have *clearly* never experienced life in the bible belt

Boy I sure hope everyone who didn't vote for Clinton because she was "cold" or "mean" or "muh both sides" feel good about directly aiding in the removal of rights this Supreme Court keeps handing down.

Women will die because of you. Own it.

So, today, while walking home from work I saw an old man, must have been at least 70, skating on freaking roller blades down Main Street holding a sign that said ‘Abortion is as old as pregnancy, abortion is good’ in big red lettering.

In other words: I saw an awesome old man living his best fucking life. :rofl:

The Grayzone has obtained slides from a confidential Israel lobby presentation based on data from Republican pollster Frank Luntz. They contain talking points for politicians and public figures seeking to justify Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. Two prominent pro-Israel lobby groups are holding private briefings in New York City to coach elected officials and well-known figures on how to influence public opinion in favor of the Israeli military’s rampage in Gaza, The Grayzone can reveal. These PR sessions, convened by the UJA-Federation and Jewish Community Relations Council, rely on data collected by Frank Luntz, a veteran Republican pollster and pundit. [...] The Luntz-tested presentations on the war in Gaza urge politicians to avoid trumpeting America’s supposedly shared democratic values with Israel, and focus instead on deploying “The Language of War with Hamas.” According to this framing, they must deploy incendiary language painting Hamas as a “brutal and savage…organization of hate” which has “raped women,” while insisting Israel is engaged in “a war for humanity.” [...] Luntz’s Gaza war presentation puts his poll-tested tactics back in the Israel lobby’s hands, urging pro-Israel public figures to stay on the attack with incendiary language and shocking allegations against their enemies. In one focus group, Luntz asked participants to state which alleged act by Hamas on October 7 “bothers you more.” After being presented with a laundry list of alleged atrocities, a majority declared that they were most upset by the claim that Hamas “raped civilians” – 19 percent more than those who expressed outrage that Hamas supposedly “exterminated civilians.” Data like this apparently influenced the Israeli government to launch an obsessive but still unsuccessful campaign to prove that Hamas carried out sexual assault on a systematic basis on October 7. Initiated at Israel’s United Nations mission in December 2023 with speeches by neoliberal tech oligarch Sheryl Sandberg and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a recipient of hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations and speaking fees from Israel lobby organizations, Tel Aviv’s propaganda blitz has yet to produce a single self-identified victim of sexual assault by Hamas. A March 5 report by UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence Pramila Patten did not contain one direct testimony of sexual assault on October 7. What’s more, Patten’s team said they found “no digital evidence specifically depicting acts of sexual violence.”

They also advice to use different language for Democrat and Republican voters, which inadvertently provides one of the most succinct explanation of the difference between the two genocidal parties that I've ever come across:

To make their arguments stick, Luntz recommends pro-Israel forces avoid the exterminationist language favored by Israeli officials who have called, for example, to “erase” the population of Gaza, and to instead advocate for “an efficient, effective approach” to eliminating Hamas. At the same time, veteran pollster acknowledges that Republican voters prefer phrases which imply maximalist violence, like “eradicate” and “obliterate,” while sanitized terms like “neutralize” appeal more to Democrats. Republican presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Donald Trump have showcased similar focus-grouped rhetoric with their calls to “finish them” and “finish the problem” in Gaza.

One of the slides, illustrating what language to use:

There are several more slides in the article. I recommend reading the whole thing, start to finish. One more thing I'd like to highlight though:

Luntz acknowledges Israel’s mounting PR problems in a slide identifying the most powerful tactics employed by Palestine solidarity activists. “Israelis attacking Israel is the second most potent weapon against Israel,” the visual display reads beside a photo of a protest by Jewish Voices for Peace, a US-based Jewish organization dedicated to ending Israel’s occupation of Palestine. “The most potent” tactic in mobilizing opposition to Israel’s assault on Gaza, according to Luntz, “is the visual destruction of Gaza and the human toll.” The slide inadvertently acknowledges the cruelty of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, displaying a bombed out apartment building with clearly anguished women and children fleeing in the foreground. But Luntz assures his audience, “It ‘looks like a genocide’ even though the damage has nothing to do with the definition.” According to this logic, the American public can become more tolerant of copiously documented crimes against humanity if they are simply told not to believe their lying eyes.

Michigan just gave us the rhetorical weapon that could push Biden and the DNC to turn their backs on Israel.

Okay so this is amazing news. Michigan was going to be a key state in the push to get Biden, and the DNC as a whole, to start pressuring Israel, and they have just proven that they have that power.

Background: Michigan is a swing state, and it has 16 votes in the electoral college. Winning Michigan was a major factor in Biden's win back in 2020, and much of that rested on the Arab-American vote. It was also a major factor in Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in 2016. She lost the state by ten thousand, seven hundred votes.

Praxis: For obvious reasons, Arab-Americans are incredibly upset with Biden's support for Israel, and support in that demographic has gone from 59% in the 2020 election to less than 17% now. As a form of protest, Arab-Americans in Michigan started a campaign to get voters to check "uncommitted" in the Democratic primary. This is an actual box that can be checked, though some less-organized pushes also suggested writing in 'ceasefire' like New Hampshire primary voters did.

The goal was to get at least 10,000 'uncommitted' votes, as that is how many Hillary lost by.

As Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, the first Arab mayor of this majority-Arab city, said:

"We're not sizable enough to make a candidate win, but we're sizable enough to make a candidate lose."

(Source: NPR, 2/25/24)

Result:

As of 10:49 PM EST, 2/27, there are thirty-nine thousand uncommitted votes, according to CNN, which is doing live coverage.

NPR was reporting 30k at 10:14.

As a caveat, New York Times is saying that each of the last three Michigan Dem Primaries had about 20k uncommitted votes, so the 35k isn't all the push for pro-Palestine stances in Congress, but that's still a jump of almost 20k, which is way, way more than the goal.

And they aren't done counting the votes yet. Barely 30% of votes are in. The goal has been blown out of the water.

Other states are reaching out for advice on how to replicate the results.

This is big news.

So can we relax?

Fuck no.

Do what Michigan did. Vote in the Dem primary, and vote uncommitted or write in "ceasefire."

But on a more daily basis, if you have a Democratic candidate, lean on this.

Tell them it will be repeated elsewhere.

This could very well lose the election for Biden and more. The Democrats can't afford another four years of Trump, and they know it. The loss of Michigan can and will tank this election for them, especially since other states that helped Biden win, like Georgia, were also won on demographics that are growing increasingly upset by the situation in Gaza.

Go to the Michigan section of this post and use that in your calls and emails.

But remember. Call your reps. Call your senators. Call your governor, if you'd like. And if they're a Democrat, you bring this up. Be polite, the staffer isn't making these decisions. They might just be an intern. But bring it up and tell them that we are going to lose the presidency if we do not sanction Israel and actually pressure them into not only pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank, but paying reparations.

F THE COURT

Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas and the four other Supreme Court judges who voted to take away a woman’s right to choose on Friday can go f-ck themselves. And kiss my gay ass. So can anyone who wouldn’t vote for Hillary in 2016 because she wasn’t progressive enough or who just didn’t like or trust her. As for those who cast their vote for Trump, I hope hell does exist so you can spend…

Of course, it's clear that she wasn't talking about forced reeducation camps or anything like that. She was musing over how those "formal" deprogramming techniques might translate into political strategies for defeating Republican extremism—because the solution isn’t clear. Naturally, this sent the exact people she was talking about into absolute fits. "Deplorable Moment times 10!" tweeted former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEneny, whose career depends on ratcheting up panic inside the extremist Republican base. As for evidence that Trumpism remains a cult, look no further than Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel (née Romney), who confusingly called Democrats "chaos and pro-criminal" as the Fox News chyron screamed, "HRC CALLS FOR 'DEPROGRAMMING' OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS." McDaniel is the chair of a party currently on its way to nominating a man facing 91 charges in four jurisdictions, a man whose attempts to retain power after losing an election resulted in violence inside the U.S. Capitol. With all due respect, shut up.

Hillary Clinton: ‘Maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming’ of Trump’s extremist cult

"Why did we vote if it accomplished nothing?"

Biden's win and the razor-thin 50-50 Senate have protected us already from a 7-2 conservative court. He has appointed a cabinet that is diverse and liberal, committed to our lands, indigenous rights, public transport, expanding healthcare access, and now protecting the right to abortion and privacy. If Biden had not won, this situation would be much worse. So yes, your vote accomplished something.

If Hillary had won the Electoral College in 2016, we would be looking at a liberal 5-4 court or even a liberal 6-3 court. At a minimum, we'd be in a much more enviable position, at maximum, many of the goals we're fighting for would already be in-progress or signed into law.

Voting accomplishes a lot.

Ask the millions of Americans that have benefited from the Affordable Care Act. Or, if you want a heavy dose of reality, ask the "pro-life" Republicans who have shown up year after year when you haven't.

One of the weirdest sets of beliefs are conspiracy theorists who are like, pro-conspiracy. They think a conspiracy exists, but also that the main problem with that is that they aren't in on it.

This can be a vector for cults ("a shadow cabal rules the Earth - and if you pay me money you can join it!") but also it can just be weird background radiation. I'm still confused and haunted by this one poll in 2016 where some respondents said they were swayed to vote for Hillary because of all the Pizzagate conspiracy theories around her

Hank Hill is the kind of person who despite voting 'R' all his life would have voted for Hillary in 2016 after hearing the "Grab them by the pussy" comment. In 2020, he would have voted straight Democrat because he felt the Republican party was an embarrassment and hopes putting that little bit of pressure will make the party stop catering to fools and extremists.

Dale would be chanting "Drain the Swamp!" and be an avid Trump supporter right up until Trump became President cause now Trump is part of the government conspiracy. Dale thinks Qanon is a stupid quack conspiracy because the truth is actually more insidious. Somehow, his conspiracy theories would cause him to become a full-vax, pro-mask, bleeding-heart liberal who has somehow correctly predicted every major event, including a worldwide plague.

Bill would have fallen completely into Qanon, driving all his friends away. He's currently serving a 6 month prison sentence for participating in the J6 insurrection (Hank is the one who reported him). He's realized how wrong he was is wants to make amends.

No one knows what Boomhauer's political leanings are.
