How are women Republicans still a thing? (How are gay Republicans still a thing?) They could not be more clear that they hate and fear you and want to dehumanize and control you, and yet there are still women who support them. Thing is, women are the majority! This kind of shit should be political suicide! They do not care about babies. They are clear on that as well. It is about control and fear.
There are always a handful of chickens rooting for Col. Sanders. Some think they’ll be exceptions due to status or wealth (e.g. Serena Joy), some are kapos, some are just stupid or crazy.
Self hating gay guys in leadership in the Republican Party goes all the way back to Roy Cohn. They’ve done a hell of a lot of harm and need to be held accountable. Hell - they won’t be - but they should be - the first in line for the consequences of conservatives actions.
The leopards haven’t eaten their face yet?
There was this interview this past week on the local NPR station…
“I’m interested in joining the 28 other states that protect sexual orientation or gender identity statutorily“
That “or” is a tip off of who they’ll offer up as a sacrifice.
Yep… they kept saying that they supported trans rights, and then completely contradicting themselves by leaning into BS talking points (especially the one about how trans girls have an advantage at sportsball). Rose did push back on that shit…
40 years of this nonsense from gay republicans and they still haven’t updated their material.
It’s true… they are very much the white, cis gay men who are so individualist, that they’ll happy abandon other parts of the LGBQT+ when it suits their needs. Bunch of kapos!
And it never works for them. The conservatives just use them to divide the community and prevent bills from passage. They’re not just extremely evil - they’re so fucking stupid it hurts.
But still, they never seem to learn that the knight of the long knives is coming for them, they’re gonna end up moving rocks until they’re dead just like other “undesirables” on the fascists lists… Just because you’re lower down the list, doesn’t mean you’re not a target…
Same thing with the bigoted women who consider themselves feminists. They never seem to realize that their own misogyny is part of what is hurting women and just keep blaming the “other” for it, often to the detriment of the causes they say they support.
As an aside, WABE lost a great news person when Emil Moffat left for the great Pacific Northwest. Atlanta’s loss is a great gain for Tacoma, Washington.
Indeed! Other stations or the national program keep snatching up the folks here… Susanna Capaluto just became the NPR SE bureau chief! They’ll pry Rose Scott from my cold dead hands, tho!
“Surely the leopards will let ME have an abortion!”
This one should come as a shock to no one.
That decision is now up to a federal judge in Texas, Matthew Kacsmaryk — a Trump appointee with longstanding affiliations with the religious right, including work as an attorney with a conservative Christian legal group based in the state.
FDA might have an end-around on this - Humanitarian Exemption - which could also be expedited. 90 day review process, IIRC. With the long history of safety and efficacy, it would be a slam dunk.

Oh my god, is this real?
Opening Lines: "It is amazing that no one has ever discussed this at length before. What about all those brain-stem dead female bodies in hospital beds?
Why should their wombs be going to waste?"
A few lines down: “We know that “brain-dead” women can carry pregnancies to term; why shouldn’t pregnancies be initiated to help childless couples?”
