Hello, 1950s? That you?
This is just one example of why state and local elections are more crucial now than ever before.
There are numerous reasons why someone might be on birth control. Not all are for contraception!

Also, there can be many types of sex that don’t need birth control.

Sickening to see the violence against Muslims celebrated in India. The widespread anti-Muslim rhetoric preys on fear and poisons people.

This propaganda is dangerous and nefarious because when you consider someone less than it's much easier to participate in their oppression.
Fellow Hindus, don't succumb to this fear-mongering. There is no threat to Hinduism in India or anywhere else. True spirituality doesn't include any room for sowing hatred of any kind.

People of all faiths should be able to live peacefully together in this ancient, vast land.

Daunte Wright was 20 years old, out driving with his girlfriend in his new car.

MN cops pulled him over because he had an air freshener on his rearview mirror- moments later he was shot and killed.

Meanwhile white mass shooters are consistently arrested unscathed.

Say his name
The police said Daunte had an outstanding warrant- it appears to be for a petty misdemeanor.

A warrant is not a death sentence.

The system isn't broken, it was never just to begin with.
I know my son. He was scared. He still [had] the mind of a 17-year-old because we babied him,” Wright said. “If he was resisting an arrest, you could Tase him. I don’t understand it.” washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04…

A timeline:

Monday the @NatlParkService issued a permit to the pro-Trump "Women for America First" for a gathering of up to 30,000 ppl

This was the "March for Trump/Save America" rally where Trump, his son & lawyer encouraged ppl to take to the Capitol wjla.com/news/local/dc-…
Trump said to the rally filled with Proud Boys (designated a hate group by the @splcenter):

"We will never give up. We will never concede... Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."
This "MAGA Civil War: Jan 6, 2021" was in the works since Dec. 19 when Trump tweeted:

“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th...Be there, will be wild!”

“I pitched ‘Taste the Nation’ to several networks.

I flew to Los Angeles on my own dime 2 or 3 times & everybody said no.

When my agent told me that Hulu called and said they’d love to talk, I said: ‘I’m not flying to L.A. again. I’m done.’” @NYTmag

“I hated coming home after being away from my kid, and she’s saying, ‘Mommy, did you sell it?’ and I have to look at this 9-year-old and say, ‘No, I didn’t.’ One entity — I won’t name names, but he’s no longer at the network — even wrote me a long email about *why* he said no.”
“I guess he was trying to be respectful, but I don’t need a 900-word email about how my show idea is derivative.

Especially when there’s nothing that I can see on TV like it.”

Just a reminder: Tucker Carlson's show is not news- it's "hyperbolic opinion commentary" by a self-proclaimed contrarian (and registered Democrat) from his Maine summer house.
“Would a reasonable viewer be coming here [to ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’] and thinking, ‘This is where I’m going to be hearing the news of the day’?” - Fox News attorney Erin Murphy

Carlson on live television: "I like the drama."

When the segment was finished, Carlson rewarded himself with a piece of nicotine gum. “Eh!” he said, with a shrug. “I didn’t think it was super-compelling television.”
