They told everyone what the plan was: adoption. ACB said drop the baby off at the fire station. Alito cited the need for "domestic supply of infant" who would find "suitable homes" with millions of couples seeking them. Everyone forgot that, it seems. We 🥚s didn't. They weren't abstract about it.

Donating $10 or $20 to a state legislative candidate has a bigger bang for the buck than it does for a U.S. Senate or House candidate, because legislative candidates late more likely to use the money for direct grassroots organizing & outreach—canvassing, phone banking, pizza for volunteers etc.

🥚 You know those days that we're all glad to mostly see the back of, when women had no choices, and we had even less? Those days which governments have been increasingly apologising for? Let's bring those back, yeah, says a Shadow minister in the UK www.neilobrien.co.uk/p/bring-back...

Bring back baby adoptions

More people could achieve their dreams, more women could get what they want, and more people could get to live - isn't it time to give women more choice?

Don't know if it's been brought up here but FYI the hit show "Ride or Die" has a MAJOR adoption plot and it's a seriously CW one. It does not make adoption or adopters look good but I'm not counting on the kept viewers to grasp that. 🥚

It's so blazingly obvious that this is true. A university lecturer being fired for plagiarism would not be national news >99% of the time. It was inflated into one this time purely because it fit into racist "culture war" narratives about "DEI".
