Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) comes out as sexual assault survivor, but she still supported men in women's prisons. HYPOCRITE. MISOGYNIST. HANDMAIDEN.

I'm not sure the Equality Act can get past the Senate given the filibuster.

I saw a legal scholar claim that, but I honestly don't know if the Republicans would filibuster the Equality Act unless opponents on the Left (many of US) raise awareness of what's actually in the act, because who wants to be known as the person who voted against the EQUALITY Act?

Naming a bill something that sounds the opposite of what it is is a well-used trick in US politics to styfle opposition. For example, the Bill of Rights-crushing "Patriot" Act. That was passed after the Sept. 11th attacks when Americans were all, "USA, USA, USA" even though it had huge implications for Americans' legal freedoms.

Now Biden wants to rush a bill against domestic terrorism through in the wake of the Capitol riots. I haven't read too much on it, but I'm guessing it will lead to further restrictions on American freedoms. Politicians are so sneaky.

All to say, that ladies, we need to voice our very vocal opposition to the Equality Act to our congresspeople, and we also need to TALK to EVERYONE we meet about the true implications of the Equality Act.

With Biden and his non-stop EOs I fully expect him to declare everyone who voted for Trump will be lined up and shot, and the other half of the country will stand and clap. That's how divided and hate-filled things are at this point.

I can't believe the Cult of Woke has divided women against themselves. It's not arguing higher taxes and more "freebies" versus lower taxes and more "freedoms" -- it's familes and friends refusing to speak to each other, heightened hatred like I've never seen in my life, and now trying to punish people who acknowledge even basic biology. That's like math. You can vote right, left, anything in between and still know 2 + 2 = 4, but now even that is a "hate crime."

Hopefully when Gavin Newsom gets recalled, that will send a message to some of these extremist politicians and the billionaires who bankroll the Cult of Wokeness.

Now Biden wants to rush a bill ... I haven't read too much on it

This is all you need to know.

“Civil libertarians were opposed to it,” Biden said in 2002 of his bill. “Right after 1994, and you can ask the attorney general this, because I got a call when he introduced the Patriot Act. He said, ‘Joe, I’m introducing the act basically as you wrote it [back then].’”

Thanks!

I remember Biden and the Patriot Act. I was vehemently opposed to the Patriot Act (and the war on Afghanistan) but back then Americans were in absolute shock about 9/11 and ready to do anything the government proposed to "keep us safe" and to "get revenge" so there was no talking sanity to anyone. Even my "liberal" friends were all "kill them (the 9/11 perpetrators and any country that aided them) all and let God sort them out."

And our military/industrial complex did just that - launched us on an endless "War on Terror" attacking all and sundry while curtailing the rights that make the US free.

And now we see a repeat, with that same Joe Biden now as the most powerful man on Earth. I did not vote for Biden (not Trump either), but I honestly didn't expect that he would be so destructive so immediately. I used to hate the Democrats and hate and fear the Republicans, now I hate and fear both.
