If we had proper news media in the US Americans would be looking at what's going on in Europe right now.
Europeans voted for their equivalent of the House of Representatives today and the first results show, as predicted, that pro-Putin, climate-change deniers, pro-life, anti-LGBTQ+ fascist parties are closer and closer to take control of Europe.
In Germany voters under 30 went "in droves" to the far right.
Same in France.
In short Europe is becoming a deep Red State and that should worry you.

""Mitchell is creating a cottage industry of using the Texas law to help men harass ex-girlfriends."
"Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students 'for being homosexual or transgender.'"

Most Americans, including those enacting 6-week #abortionbans, don’t actually understand how the timing or dating of pregnancy works. Many women don't know yet they are pregnant at 6 weeks.
Scholars explain how research on what Americans understand about #abortion raises “serious questions about whether Americans without medical training – much like those in our state legislatures – have the necessary knowledge needed to regulate abortion access.”

Confusion over how pregnancy dates are measured is widespread – and makes for uninformed debate over abortion limits
Most Americans surveyed did not know how pregnancies are dated or how long a trimester is – but this is especially true among some groups, like people who say they support six-week abortion bans.The Conversation

Louisiana’s new bill, once signed, would reclassify two #abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) as Schedule IV controlled substances, like valium, and making it a crime to possess them without a valid in-state prescription.
Surgical and medication abortions are already banned in Louisiana, with few exceptions.
An obstetrician and a law professor explain more about the law and the lack of evidence supporting it:

Right now #DoNoEvil (kidding) Google is going after #scam calls, but what about in repressive countries or our own?
What happens when they come to find the #dissidents, #BLM, #abortion rights leaders?
There is no such thing as the "culture war." What we're actually talking about is white evangelicals trying to cheat at politics rather than accept that Americans long ago rejected their authoritarian and superstitious viewpoints.
