I think some Dems have been victims so long that they can't believe the tide is finally turning in their favor.
It looks as though Ohio is on track to have a petition on the next ballot revising the State Constitution, so that it protects women's right to abortion. Yes, I said Ohio, home of Jim Jordan!
Mike is right. The Right went too far Banning Roe and now they're paying the price. They're going too far now criminalizing libraries and librarians, and they'll pay the price for that, too.
In the meantime, let's relish Mike's segment. It has great cheerleading segments in addition to parts that give one chills and tears.
Looking forward to some change in FL, where we currently have a true anti-Christ, anti-Love, pro-Hate, pro-intimidation, pro-assault-rifle, anti-freedom (except for a few), pro-women-as-second-class-citizens, anti-social-&-economic-justice Governor - Gov. DeSatan.
There’s a third way the GOP keeps stealing elections in addition to gerrymandering and voter suppression. It’s called the electoral college, an archaic and unpopular system that needs to be abolished. Takes a constitutional amendment and ratification by 3/4 of the states. The electoral count is the REAL election stealer.
My cousin’s son was in the school at Columbine. The shooter let him escape because the shooter knew him from Drama class. They put his story on the news. Same family in another incident had their 21 year old son die by gunshot. I’ve been threatened by gun violence 3 times in my life.... by a family member and a mugging at a Chinese restaurant here in Queens NYC. The gun threat by a family member occurred when I came home from a date with a Black man during college. I was threatened by teens on bikes during the anti Asian incidents two years ago. I’ve had it with gun violence and racist hate crimes.
This episode filled me with hope (and then of course, sadness at the end), but it was very powerful. I'm reading Mehdi Hasan's book, How to Win Any Argument and why this is apropos is that, from what I've gleaned so far, is that an emotional connection (rather than logic and data and policy, no matter how sound it might be) is so important toward winning a debate. I think Progressives are maybe, finally starting to get that point, because the anger among those of us who are sick of all the nonsense is palpable. It's what motivates people, and for once, the momentum seems to be on our side. All I can say is keep acting like loons, Rebublicans! It will motivate people to vote you out even sooner.
I'm from Detroit, but have been in the Carolinas for 35 years now. It is so difficult to feel like South Carolina can be moved at all. I had a paid position on a State House campaign in November, and my candidates matched what almost every other House candidate got across the state: 36%. Democrats went from 35% in the House to 31%, and I felt like more was given to this election than almost any other time. What we did -- the canvassing, calling, texting -- didn't seem to do any good as we matched a candidate who had done nothing. Sooooo discouraging. Thank goodness the rest of the country didn't go this way, but I fear that there are still enough Red states to rig the whole system, again and again. I'm going to spearhead outreach to college students, which seemed to be the most effective way to find Blue voters, and was certainly the most fun thing to do. Young people still let us down and didn't turn out, but no one else in our state seemed to be doing this. Anyway, thank you for your hopeful message. It is certainly appreciated. P.S. Don't know how you've put up with those Michigan winters all these years!
If I get my way (a centered-majority independent movement) I’ll be decapitating both the corrupt Red and Blue tag-teams destroying our country and world. I swear.
Elizabeth Nash, a state policy expert at the Guttmacher Institute, told the outlet that forced pregnancy advocates and the pharmacy chain are "denying people agency over their lives."
"When we're thinking about states that have a lot of their population in rural areas, it's much more likely that a pharmacy is nearby than a provider's office," said Nash, "so these pharmacies play an outsized role in patient health and access to healthcare."
Take note of the appropriate terminology: FORCED PREGNANCY ADVOCATES.
I never use the term "Pro Life" as it is an obvious misnomer to anyone who has critical thinking skills. I use either Anti-Choice or Pro-Birth. But now I will be using Forced Pregnancy Advocates, and such variations.

Thank you Michael for your wonderful words of encouragement. Always remember, we all have to get the vote out again in 2024, 2026, 2028, and beyond!
Thank you Mike, for making me smile & laugh this morning. Blessings on you!
Gratefully,
Tanya Rentz ❤️
Thank you for this podcast Michael. I didn't know about any of these special elections. It's good to hear.
wow, I teared up just hearing his story! Thank you for this.
Also loved your letter to Jimmy Carter, "so true"--to little powerful words, "so true."

Thank You. Michael Moore, you are such a blessing!
Goodness will prevail. It's that simple.

Michael Moore, National Treasure...YES. I agree.
Thank you for informing us with the Truth.
Love you, Michael.
