Thank you for these news clips today. These got me thinking today. Thinking about how racist thes MAGA are. Always worried about too many people of color being born and having rights.

Here's something I thought of when reading, ... We may be able to stop women from dying when in need of an abortion by telling Maga, SCOTUS, the Heritage Foundation & the Federalist Society by telling them they had 'better switch it back,' because it won't be white women having babies, it'll be people of color. ALL shades of color! COLOR COLOR COLOR!!!! : ) Let's get out the Coloring Books! Sounds like a plan to me.

Joan, I hear you.

You said the quiet part plain. These folks wrap control in scripture and call it love. They’re scared of a future they can’t color inside the lines.

That “coloring books” line won’t leave my head. Demographic panic in a Sunday hat. If they could turn the womb into a border checkpoint, they would. Papers, please. That’s why the cruelty keeps showing up as policy.

I don’t have all the answers. I know what love does. Love protects. Love tells the truth. Love shows up.

So we move like this, smooth and steady:

we tell the stories that make juries and neighbors human again

we keep the routes to care open, clinics and funds alive

we win the small rooms, state courts and school boards, maps that decide lives

we pull men into the fight, not as heroes, as witnesses with skin in the game

we keep receipts and we don’t let go

You’re seen Joan. Belive that. You’re right to be loud. Let them count crayons. We’ll count votes, safe rides, and wins. Keep talking. I’m right here with ya.
