Former teacher and librarian, I thought we were settled on abortion ... women will never be seen as fully functioning humans. I gave up social media when things went haywire 4 years ago. We need to resist the oligarchy. Dual citizen and ashamed of the US.

I know it’s in the Constitution, but guns are horrific murder tools. Having them in society just helps amp up violence and individualism. And having them in the house leads to trauma like this. I have to ask parents of other toddlers if they own murder weapons because sometimes this happens.

"Abortion abolitionists" are those who want to charge women with murder for having abortions. Once dismissed as extreme, it's now mainstream. At least 16 abortion abolition bills are being considered in 12 states. The bills aim to eliminate the exemption for women so they can be prosecuted.

. Trump has stopped sanctions on Russia and so gives them $150 million a day to build drones. Trump has never made it more clear that he is anti America, anti Europe, and pro Putin. He is now financing and aiding drone strikes on US and European troops in the Middle East and on Ukraine civilians.

This is long overdue. Under AG Bondi, the Justice Dept covered for Trump and his wealthy friends at the people’s expense - the Epstein files are just one example. Congress must still hold her accountable - getting fired would not undo the damage she’s done. www.semafor.com/article/04/0...
