  • I blacked out in my hallway due to blood loss,” she says in the video. “I developed a heart condition called AFib. It means my heart doesn’t work right anymore, and it fucks up. So, if I get too excited, too hot, too much in pain, too traumatized, if somebody yells at me too much, my heart fucks up. So, I have to regulate for my heart to keep active, otherwise, I could have a heart attack and die. I have to deal with these side effects for the rest of my life because of abortion laws

    Even if you want to ban abortion generally, you can make clear exceptions that avoid situations like this. They know that and chose not to. The cruelty is the point.









  • The only way a third party would be viable in the US is if it grew organically from small, local races that aren’t captured by large donors. A dedicated group of volunteers knocking on doors and spreading a message can have a real effect in those races. Get a few candidates in office and start doing some good, and a party can grow around it. Draw up a blueprint for how you did it, and spread it around to other towns and cities, making allies with other local groups as they spring up.

    Is that easy to do? Of course not, but that would be a viable path for the formation of a functioning third party.







  • The polls immediately after a debate don’t necessarily measure its full impact. Trump’s perception as a strongman who dominates his opponents has now been broken with the entire country watching. There’s no way to tell how that’s going to shape the race moving forward. And the “living in strange times” X factor is how the loss is handled by Trump himself. He may shrug it off and hit the campaign trail harder, or it may have serious effects on what seems to be an already fragile mental state. Again, time will tell.
