#the majority

I animated this today.

Pokémon fans, man.

“McConnell and McCarthy are trying to tamp down expectations of a national abortion ban, but they can’t come out and say what they are thinking: “The quickest path to oblivion for the Republican Party is to impose the religious views of 20% of the population on 80% of the population.” But, in their effort to pack the Court and cling to power as a minority party, they have created a beast they cannot control.

Democrats should leave McConnell and McCarthy in the private hell they have created and never look back. For campaign purposes, Democrats should assert that Republicans will impose a total abortion ban if given a chance. Let Republican candidates sputter and sweat as they explain why they oppose the demands of Heritage Action for America, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and CatholicVote. Frankly, I doubt many GOP candidates will pause for a moment on that question—leaving the field open for Democrats who are appealing to the 60% of Americans who oppose the holding in Dobbs.

 True, the rhetoric from the far right is upsetting and unsettling—understandably so. It isn’t every day that a major political party announces a platform that includes demoting 50% of American citizens to second-class status under the Constitution. But we cannot look away; instead, we must lean into the fight and make Republicans embrace the cruelty they are using to cling to minority rule.

Republicans occupy a burning platform built on arrogance and disdain, and the far-right is pouring gasoline on the fire. Democrats should take the opportunity to lead Americans to safer ground—where individual liberty and personal autonomy are guaranteed for every American.”

The sweetheart with an enigmatic dark past

I’m writing this prisoner of azkaban fan fic at the same time my partner and I are reading it. (he’s never read it and I have my old copies from when I was a kid)

The plot of this book is mostly Harry Wants To Hear His Parents Die But Also Win The Sportsball So He’s Gotta Force Himself To Stop Wanting To Hear His Parents Die
