I repeat: if you’re in a red state, get the fuck out now. Do not wait. Do not stay and attempt to make it better. You can’t and you won’t. Get yourself out and help others if you can. Those places are going to look like Ethiopia in the 1980s soon, but with way more guns.
Just leave. There’s nothing else you can do.
I don’t even like the Bowie song really, but this is a wonderful performance. What a voice on her.
This is better than the album version — and I love the album version.
I wish I were young enough to become an A-10 pilot because I really want to be one of the people laying down some rounds on obese overconfident F-250 clowns when the time comes.
Guess I’ll just have to make do with a sniper rifle. Hitting targets from 500 meters for me is cake. Let’s do it.
the “calm down, the GOP won’t do THAT” crowd will always be with us, but they’re increasingly making smug noises at cavernous, empty rooms
it is also nice to know that this is absolutely driving them nuts.

One of the reasons I like Faine is that she always makes fun of the idiotic “But that could never happen” narrative. It’s always been false but it was the accepted worldview for 15-20 years on a lot of things. Now those people are fewer but still out there.
I told you they were coming for contraception (yes, I know mifepristone is used for drug-induced abortion). This is just the beginning; it will only get worse from here. I hope a state like California just starts ignoring this sort of thing altogether.
Abortion was always more about other things, mainly putting women back in their place socially and sexually. Another thing that “could never happen” is beginning to happen.
