The Trump regime is trying to normalize misogyny. Unfortunately, it’s too many people in this country that don’t have the balls to stand up against him. This pattern of abuse is only going to get worse folks! What is it going to take⁉️

Unlike Supreme Court Justices, the rest of the fed’l judiciary is governed by canons of ethics. Among other things, they’re not supposed to attend political events & should avoid even an appearance of impropriety. joycevance.substack.com/p/judicial-e...

Jimmy Carter’s Ghost has some words for Trump. I concur wholeheartedly.

We are not okay.

"Congress could always stop the President if Congress thinks that what the President has done exceeds the President's authority or is just wrong for the United States." ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg

A word from my friend, FDR’s Ghost.

This 👇 is EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Years of 24/7 right wing propaganda disguised as “news” (e.g., FOX News) has groomed Americans to dehumanize others and provided a permission structure for their worst selves & impulses, in ways that are as addictive as problematic smartphone use (PSU). I can see it all clearly from up here. ☁️☁️☁️

"When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that." ~Ruth Bader Ginsburg~

No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will — regardless of how much money we earn or the type of health insurance plan we have. Tell Congress to stop anti-abortion politicians' latest effort to take away abortion access nationwide.

Clerking for Justice Ginsburg was a life changing experience. She taught me that fairness starts with empathy for everyone, there is no substitute for hard work, & that the most important decisions must be guided by respect & integrity. I carry those lessons with me every day. #tbt #RBG

"The U Street landmark widely known as “the RBG building” is headed to auction next week, "It would be awesome if she stays in D.C. We have a lot of great buildings and a lot of great spaces where she can live,” wise said. “I want her to have a permanent home" wtop.com/dc/2025/12/g...

A message from my friend, George’s Ghost.

My gloves are coming off. I’ve tried to maintain judicial restraint and follow my own advice about winning with honey, not vinegar. But politeness does not win the war against boorish clods.

If only there had been signs that a group of below average men who espouse misogynist views and are led by an adjudicated rapist would treat their female colleagues poorly.

“The state controlling a woman [and her uterus] would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.” Me. I said that. 🤌

Texas’s latest abortion law goes into effect December 4th, and y’all—it’s CREEPY AF!! The law encourages Texans to spy and snitch on their neighbors —for a $100,000 bounty— if they get abortion pills. reproductiverights.org/news/four-th...

@whitehouse.senate.gov joins @mintimm.bsky.social to explain how right-wing operatives captured the courts and used them to strip away abortion access. If you care about the survival of our democracy, you need to hear this conversation. 🎧 New episode of “My Body. My Pod.” out TODAY!

Very interesting to look at the number of #women applicants to #Michigan since Dobbs in 2022. Slight increase in male applicants but the number of women applying almost doubled. Turns out talented college age students don’t want to spend their teens and early 20s in forced birth states

I miss RBG and I am a Canadian

To the many who seem oddly unmoved by Dobbs: If SCOTUS overturns Loving v. Virginia, recognizing the right to marry someone of a different race, and some states immediately prohibit it, would *that* get you fired up about US human rights? Or would you say, “Oh well, many states still allow it.”

Day 1,250 since Dobbs. Day 1,250 since American girls and women were free from forced birth servitude. Day 1,250 since American doctors and nurses were free to use medical best practices without fear or threat. Day 1,250 of being a backward country that violates women’s and girls’ human rights.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the beginning of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence. It’s a global call to action by the UN to prevent and eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls. theconversation.com/quiet-piggy-...

With this ban back in effect, doctors will once again be forced to choose between providing care and going to prison. This is cruel to say the least. Abortion is HEALTH CARE, and North Dakotans deserve to be able to access this care without delay caused by confusion about what the law allows.

I always liked footnotes. 😉

Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law. Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.

When this is finally over, I want his presidency annulled. No portrait. No library. Just the shround of shame it deserves.

ENOUGH!!!!

🚨BREAKING: Abortion is illegal again in North Dakota after the State Supreme Court reversed a decision from a lower court, allowing the state’s cruel and extreme ban to go back into effect.

How long will we allow these backwards laws to tear families apart? How long will politicians stand idly by as these cruel policies snuff out the lives of brilliant, beloved human beings? The injustice is intolerable. We MUST overturn these archaic bans before more precious lives are lost. No more.

Trump's enablers are protecting him from the consequences of his relationship with Epstein. It's all one plan: question women's right to vote, rewind advances in women's health care, chip away at our repro freedom, and silence survivors of sexual assault. RELEASE THE FILES!

Visit the link below for an interactive look at how Project 2025 is being implemented. Project 2025 isn't just a “plan,” it’s a checklist of extreme policies being implemented at an alarming pace, and a large part of them are aimed at repro freedom. reproforall.org/trackingProject2025

This is me at 15. I’m a child.

This should surprise no one.

Having to sit here and watch Republicans slowly catch up to Trump’s serial malevolence, which has long been obvious to anyone paying attention, really tests my patience.

If you have really strong opinions, don't just post on social media. Call your Senators. Call your Representative. Make your opinion known directly. But do it respectfully, no matter what your opinion is. Just be clear about what you want, and why. Democracy is a participation sport.

A “feminist” is someone who supports equal rights for women. While one need not be an outspoken advocate to be a “feminist,” one also cannot repeatedly vote against women’s rights and call oneself a feminist.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide. Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.
