Monday Stuff

(I know the cartoon should say 2022 instead of 2019, but I think it's close enough.)

Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report discusses the ongoing campaign in this country to take away women’s bodily autonomy, with a focus on “crisis pregnancy centers,” which are not licensed medical facilities, it should be noted, but are instead places for wingnut indoctrination – NSFW/H...



...and related to the prior story, Brian Tyler Cohen talks about 2 South Carolina Republicans in the state senate duking it out over more garbage anti-abortion nonsense...and yes, Sandy Senn is absolutely right here, and Shane Massey is just another idiot Repug male trying to regulate women’s biology (more here – and yeah, for every anti-abortion bill, I think a companion bill should be introduced that sets up a database that tracks purchases of Viagra and Cialis for male politicians, as well as keeping a record of which ones have received vasectomies)...



...and when it comes to that depraved stunt by FLA guv Ron #DeathSantis to dump the undocumented migrants at Martha’s Vineyard (who were transported off the island to a facility set up on Cape Cod where they can be processed through immigration), I thought Vaush had a particularly smart take here (more here – Emma V. of The Majority Report had a segment on this also, but it included a clip with Jesse Watters and Mike Pompeo, and I absolutely can’t stomach those two together)...



...and related to the MVY story, Stephanie Ruhle tells us how this little maneuver by #DeathSantis and Greg Abbott of Texas mirrors the “reverse freedom rides” of exactly 60 years ago (more here)...



...and Ana and Cenk of TYT bring us the story of Trumpster Cathy Latham in Coffee County, GA, who allowed voting machines to be hacked on 1/7/21, which of course was the day after the insurrection...time to start throwing these people in prison for a looooong time, as Cenk says – more here)...



...and in the Wordpress post I linked to above about Martha’s Vineyard, I mentioned the public radio station WMVY, which is terrific; this newer number comes right from their playlist.
