The low-hanging fruit is abortion pills, but the true believers think of Comstock as a skeleton key that could end all abortions nationwide as we explain in @autonomynews.co. Blanche is chomping at the bit to change DOJ's stance on this law

Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · 3w ago

NEW: Under questioning from Senator Ted Cruz, acting AG Todd Blanche said he would review Biden-era DOJ guidance on the Comstock Act if confirmed to the role. Comstock is an 1873 anti-obscenity law that conservatives want to use to stop the mailing of abortion pills in all 50 states @autonomynews.co

Since #mlp is going to have a 12 episode season format, I'm going to watch Lucha Underground to get me by.. 🤼‍♂️ Season 1: archive.org/details/seas... Season 2: archive.org/details/seas... Season 3: archive.org/details/seas... Season 4: archive.org/details/seas...

make it a fucking co-op and have the actors/writers/showrunners own it. give it its own streaming service. use that streaming service to give smaller/indie sci-fi creators a home. lock up vintage sci-fi rights. become a fucking home for nerds. it would be the only streaming service i'd pay for.

I suppose that an anarcho-socialist fan collective is probably not in the cards.

i understand the impulse to react to a terrible story by saying that you’re not surprised, but i hope i’ll always be surprised by terrible stories.

Hey, do me a favor and do an internet search for "free fridge" and your town's name. And then go drop some stuff off when you have some food you're not gonna eat. Got some takeout with an extra wonton soup you're not gonna eat? Take it to the free fridge. Someone needs it. Seriously.

This is so low on the list of issues but the hill I'm dying on is that having a podcast while holding public office is a form of corruption that's so seamless we aren't expected to notice it

I know podcasts like The Dollop think they're being cool and clever by constantly speaking Doomerism but someone should tell them they're doing the GOP's job for free. At least get some blood money out of it if you're gonna spread propaganda

real power is not access. real power is being able to benefit others and see the good spread. it's so corny but look at how soulless and useless access is. it only works for people incapable of making friends, people who need a nuclear arsenal to get anyone to hang out with them
