Marilyn Lands, a Democrat who made reproductive rights a central part of her campaign, will win a special election Tuesday for an Alabama state House seat, CNN projects.

Her victory serves as another data point for national Democrats, who hope the backlash over strict state abortion laws following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and concerns about in vitro fertilization treatments will help their party in November, even in traditionally Republican areas.

The world's-most-evil-sun-dried-tangelo led an insurrection and is successfully running for president again with people carrying out conversations such as "why Trump's serious attempt at dictatorship might not be so bad." If he wins, I'd expect any dissenting Dems to be forced out either by pressures within or legitimate coordinated attacks from MAGA supporters.

Hell, there's a high probability powerful political adversaries will be straight up killed and they'd call it Operation Hummingbird to honor the true architect of the current Conservative playbook.

I don't disagree, but I am going to cling to any shred of hope I can cling to. I can't just accept that all is lost until all is actually lost.

When the first assassination (“suicide”) comes, you should pack your bags.

I have dual citizenship, possibly a third option although I would have to renounce the other two, so that's not an issue.

One of the things that convinced a few Never Trumpers to quit was the risk of violence. They'll be happy to expand the program.
