Must-read thread. The battle women face. It's only going to get worse

https://twitter.com/txnewsprincess/status/1526917931766104071

This morning, in a FB group I’m in, a woman told us she is having a miscarriage. Her doctor prescribed misoprostol to help her complete the miscarriage. The doctor had to spend 30 minutes explaining to a Walgreens pharmacist that she wasn’t having an abortion

The first round of misoprostol didn’t work. The doctor calls in another round, and she heads to the pharmacy to pick it up. After waiting 20 minutes, she is told by the pharmacist that they’ve talked to colleagues and the corporate office, and have decided not to fill it.

It was classical guitarist John Williams’ The Seville Concert.

I. Was. Blown. Away.

Asturias came up randomly in my iTunes a bit ago. It’s online in its entirety

Want PROOF of gas price gouging??

https://twitter.com/Scr0dman/status/1524701253669900290

Want proof that gas price gouging is underway? Compare oil and gas prices over the last 20 years.

Painfully obvious that #PriceGouging is underway

Oil is WELL BELOW the pre-Great Recession peak and WELL BELOW Obama’s first term yet #gasprices are at record highs!

A wealthy GOP insurrection leader paid thugs to attempt vehicular manslaughter as part of the "voter fraud" cover story for their coup d'état.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2022/05/06/hotze-texas-recording-ballots/

GOP donor described botched vote fraud probe in recording, prosecutors say
The call discussing a "citizen’s arrest" occurred days before an investigator working for donor Steven F. Hotze’s nonprofit in Houston


Hotze claimed that private investigators funded by his nonprofit group had been trailing a mysterious white van as it shuttled phony ballots around the city in an effort to rig the upcoming election. He asked if federal authorities would help stop the van and apprehend its driver, but he added that one of his hard-nosed investigators was prepared to do the job himself, according to the filing by prosecutors in Harris County that included a transcript of the exchange.

“In fact, he told me last night, ‘hell … the guy’s gonna have a wreck tomorrow night. I’m going to run into him and I’m gonna make a citizen’s arrest,” Hotze told the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas, Ryan Patrick, a Trump appointee, who recorded the conversation.

Two days after the call, the private investigator Hotze had named ran a white van driven by an air-conditioning repairman off the road in Houston and held the driver at gunpoint during a futile search for forged ballots, county prosecutors allege.
Police have said the man was innocent. His truck contained repair parts.

I've not missed watching a Kentucky Derby since as far as I can remember

And I remember Secretariat

Used to host Derby parties every year. They were awesome.

Today, I had to work and got home after 4. Just chilled in the living room. Started watching Moon Knight.

Actually kinda forgot today was Derby day. Feel kinda sad I’ve not seen it but I think I’d have been sick if I’d seen Traitor McFuckFace on the tv, sullying the storied Churchill Downs as he sullied the peoples’ house
