8 years ago, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Because of that vote, Roe v. Wade was overturned, and millions of women across the country lost access to abortion. On November 3rd, Mainers are going to tell Susan Collins exactly how they feel about her betrayal.

Men have no idea how angry women are. No clue the rage. It's not just Cornell. It's Cornell, the Epstein files, and Giselle Pelicot, it's the rape academy and motherless. It's the girl raped at LSU, the girl carrying the mattress she was raped on, and pregnant girls in ICE detention centers. It's Donald Trump, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, it's women who are carrying dead fetuses and can't abort until her life is in danger. It's Al porn, nudifying and deep-fakes. It's men yelling about false accusations, it's #metoo and it's #iamjanedoe. Change is coming and there is no man alive who is going to be able to stop it historyofwomen.substack.com/

From the beginning of the war in Iran, I've warned one reason that Trump wants such a war is to provoke a terrorist attack at home. History is full of leaders - from Putin in Russia to Orban in Hungary - who have used foreign wars and real or manufactured threats to expand their authority.
