I don't follow any of these accounts but TikTok is shoving them into my feed, I just blocked another one buf it's just showing how sadly stupid these people are.

If they say such shit about their own country, how can we expect them to have empathy and understanding for suffering caused by their government and their borrowed money (it ain't sure their taxes any more).

How pro-LGBTQ+ is Kamala Harris?

She was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016. She received perfect 100 scores on the Human Rights Campaign Congressional Scorecard, which measures support for LGBTQ+ equality, before leaving the Senate to become vice president. Her record likewise includes perfect ratings from reproductive rights groups such as Planned Parenthood Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice America (now known as Reproductive Freedom for All), and NARAL Pro-Choice California.

Two Years of Outrage: US Abortion Restrictions since Dobbs

State Bans Violate Rights of Millions to Privacy, Health, Nondiscrimination

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/06/24/two-years-outrage-us-abortion-restrictions-dobbs

Meanwhile, state courts in the US have upheld laws that have nearly killed pregnant women and have required women to carry non-viable fetuses to term. In Mississippi, abortion bans forced a 13-year-old girl to carry out a pregnancy from rape. Texas and Oklahoma have passed laws that empower private citizens to sue clinics, healthcare workers, and individuals for helping someone obtain an abortion, and lawmakers in Texas and Missouri have sought to make it illegal to obtain out-of-state abortions.

A Democratic state senator needs an #abortion. She told her colleagues about #Arizona’s ‘cruel’ #laws.

The only reason I had to hear those things was a cruel and uninformed attempt by outside forces to shame and coerce and frighten me into making a different decision other than the one I knew was right for me. There’s no one-size-fits-all script for people seeking abortion care, and the #legislature doesn’t have any right to assign one.

Brittany Watts, Ohio woman charged with felony after miscarriage at home, describes shock of her arrest

Welcome to America where the punishment of your body violating your choice which happens to so many women, is a felony. Many women I know would be charged with murder in what what a heartbreaking loss to them. This was never about protecting babies or we wouldn't have the highest infant mortality rate in the western world. This is about cruelty to and policing women.

Could a #Democrat Beat #RickScott in #Florida’s #US #Senate Race?
Democrats are hoping Debbie Mucarsel-Powell can help them keep control of the Senate in 2024.

BY ABIGAIL TRACY

..."Whereas Scott is one of the wealthiest members of the US Senate, Mucarsel-Powell is an #immigrant who worked at a donut shop for minimum wage as a young teen in America; while Scott arguably made himself the face of the #Republican Party’s effort to gut entitlement programs, Mucarsel-Powell wrote the bill in the US House to expand #Medicare; and as Scott expressed support for federal #abortion restrictions and backed Florida’s six-week ban, Mucarsel-Powell continued to be an outspoken advocate for reproductive rights.

Democrats hope that Mucarsel-Powell is the right messenger for the moment. With the candidate being a Spanish-fluent Latina woman running for US Senate in Florida, Democrats argue that she is uniquely positioned to win back the support of the state’s Hispanic community, which the Democratic Party has bled in recent cycles. “Can Debbie find the money to be competitive, and can she change the numbers among Hispanics? I think the more that she can do [that], the more the money’s going to come,” said Schale, who worked on Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns in Florida. “I definitely think Florida’s trended Republican—I’m not an idiot. But I don’t think it’s gone from a state that Obama won by three or four points, or a state that was basically a dead tie five years ago in the governor’s race, to a 20-point Republican state overnight. It hasn’t happened. And a lot of that top of the ticket has been impacted by the fact that we’re doing terrible with Hispanics here.” ...

#State Supreme #Court Races Could Make or Break 'Firewall for Our #Democracy'

..."In Wisconsin, Justice Janet Protasiewicz won her state supreme court seat last April in an election that inspired the state's highest-ever turnout for an off-election year #judicial race. Supporters of the #Democratic judge highlighted her strong backing of #abortion #rights, voting access, and worker protections, and noted that a Democratic majority on the state's high court could decide whether former President Donald Trump would be able to challenge the 2024 election results, as he attempted to in 2020.

Voters in Ohio and Michigan are among those who face similarly high stakes this year, Harris said. In the former state, two Democratic judges and one Republican are up for reelection to a court that currently has a 4-3 majority favoring the GOP.
...
In Michigan, where the high court has a 4-3 Democratic majority and two judges on the 2024 ballot—one from each party—victories for the GOP could also allow a new conservative majority to reverse several pro-abortion rights laws passed in 2023.

"After Roe v. Wade was overturned, we had to turn to state courts and state constitutions as the critical backstop to protecting access to abortion," Brigitte Amiri, deputy director at the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, told the AP. "And the stakes are unbelievably high in each of these cases in each of these states."

The results of this year's state court races could also have implications for redistricting efforts, which the Republican State Leadership Committee told the AP it is focusing on heavily, calling the state supreme courts the "last line of defense against far-left national groups."...
