IANAL nor do I know the specifics of Texas's laws but I would encourage her to only communicate about it over encrypted channels whose designers will not comply with Texas' laws and delete any communications about it that are not encrypted. She should do her research on where to go with a VPN. She should make sure her phone or any other device is not tracking her location. She should tell nobody and lie to anyone she needs to provide a justification to. She should pay in cash for as much as possible. If they'll need her medical records she should have them printed off and deliver them herself. Afterwards she should destroy all physical and digital evidence that she can. She should also never talk to law enforcement without her lawyer present.

My guess is that they aren't actively hunting people who leave the state for reproductive care but if she does all that it would awfully hard to convict her even if they were aggressive about it.

Never admit anything to your boss or the police. If you're drinking at work you are an alcoholic and you should get help though.

Actually it's kind of an apt comparison. They just don't realize that Lincoln was never really anti-slavery and was only really forced into that position because the Republicans in the Northern states demanded it.

In 2020 I knocked doors non-stop for months for a Democratic PAC because I believed it might make things better and prevent fascism even though I personally did not like the candidates. I probably did more for the Democratic party than 90% of blue maga online hacks trying to shame the left for not voting for Biden and guess what, I'm still going to have to pay my student loans under his shitty government.

If anyone ever tries to shame me into voting for a Dem irl I'm going to spit in their face.

I love when these people bring up the Weimar Republic as a reason to vote for their guy. They always leave out that their guy is the stand in for Hindenburg.

Everyone seems to forget that the largest mobilization of the US masses ever happened that year and at least some of it (if not most) was co-opted by the Democrats. Literally millions of people in the streets being told they needed to vote for Joe or they supported police brutality and he only won by a small albeit comfortable margin.

I have no idea what they think is gonna happen this year when the only people that are in the streets are fervently opposed to the current administration.

The US is ruled by the logic of finance capital because it is ruled by finance capitalists. Buy low, sell high, and let someone else get stuck holding the bag. The actual concerns of production or running a society are irrelevant because long before production breaks down the current owners have dumped their stake for a comfy profit and bought some other industry.

Cool so I can vote PSL?

"We support the Russian Federation's opposition to US imperialism. We oppose their reactionary government including the state suppression of lgbtq+ people, minority nationalities and ethnic groups, etc. Using these issues as cudgels for US/NATO imperialism hurts all people in Russia, including oppressed minorities, and undermines the progressive nature of those liberation struggles in that country."

"Smdh tankies are pro-russia homophobes"

It's kinda funny to read the Palestinian-American quoted be like "we care about the children who are getting murdered, not birthrates" among all the Zionist psychos wanting to turn themselves into baby factories for the race.

There's also a significant material restriction on kids. More homework and pressure to do extracurriculars, less money, harder to get around, fewer brick and mortar places to go, less woods, parents have less time, etc. I was in school a decade ago at this point but most of us just played PlayStation together. I think as shit (specifically housing, cars, and college) gets more expensive and wages stagnate this is further exacerbated.

I'm probably quitting the DSA over the refusal to discipline electeds especially on the issue of Palestine, but this statement is misleading.

The vote was a voice vote which means the 50 aldermen shouted "yea" or "nay" at the same time and the chair decided the outcome. One aldermen asked to be officially recorded in opposition to the resolution but Chicago DSA's statement claims a second DSA alderman spoke out against the resolution so it's likely he also voted in opposition. Nobody actually knows what anyone voted for unless they were in the room listening to them though, and by that point the room has been cleared by the cops.
