C. Dale Brittain @daimbertyurt.bsky.social · 11hWith everything else going on, don't lose track of the fact that Republicans want to make abortion illegal nation-wide. Then, according to Project 2025 (which they've followed religiously), they'll seek to outlaw birth control. This isn't freedom. It's the opposite. Vote Democratic. 000

C. Dale Brittain @daimbertyurt.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Trump clearly meant his "joking" suggestion that it would be cool for Iran to wipe out LA & SD.
