On Thursday, September 9, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland filed a lawsuit against Texas, seeking to block S.B. 8—the state’s newly-enacted abortion ban.

Absolutely. It seems like they’re trying to do an end run around the U.S. Constitution and disregarding the rule of law to achieve their ends. But a lot of people are saying that the dog has caught the car. Could this legal strategy backfire on them?Well, I sure hope that courts allow these matters to be fully briefed and heard, and that the courts think about the implications of this kind of construct. This is un-American. This is undemocratic.

We also need action on federal voting rights. We have a Supreme Court that was essentially stolen through the workings of Mitch McConnell and we have all these Republican-majority gerrymandered districts and states around the country that are acting in ways that are undemocratic. I mean 70 percent of Americans support Roe v. Wade, yet we end up in this situation where we have S.B. 8 and then the specter of 20 other states potentially looking to do the same thing.

People need to get engaged. Demand accountability from your elected officials at the local, state and federal level. I think stories are really powerful. Put a face on what this actually means. Imagine if you had not been able to get an abortion. That’s the case right now for women in Texas. We have to show them support.

“I’m so heartened to see the Justice Department file, because it now gives us an opportunity to present this case in a different way, for what it really is.The amount of anger and outrage I’ve heard from women and men around the country that I’ve spoken with in recent days is something I haven’t seen before. I think providers and reproductive rights organizations anticipated this, but I’m not sure that it was on the radar of the American public. Now it is. I think everybody is waking up.

Nicholas gets stronger, threatens to hit Texas as hurricaneTropical Storm Nicholas gathered strength Monday and threatened to blow ashore in Texas as a hurricane that could bring up to 20 inches of rain to parts of the Gulf Coast, including the same area hit by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and storm-battered Louisiana. Although the system was expected to generate only a fraction as much rain as Harvey, nearly all of the state’s coastline was under a tropical storm warning that included potential flash floods and urban flooding. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said authorities placed rescue teams and resources in the Houston area and along the coast. Hoard as much gas as possible and then blame Biden for price increases. If I was a jerk I would say, DROWN BABY DROWN, but I'm not, so I wont. I'll let Karma do the talking.

Texas bracing for Tropical Storm Nicholas and up to 20 inches of rain in Gulf CoastLandfall was expected Monday night or early Tuesday between Corpus Christi and Galveston as a high-end tropical storm or a low-end Category 1 hurricane. Its almost as if mother nature is trying to cleans herself of fossil fuels. We should provide no aid to Texas. They do not respect a womans rights. They don’t require training or a license to carry a gun, they have restrictive voting laws, and they don’t want to do anything for global warning. Let them suffer with this hurricane. BoycottTexas
