Thanks to you, and people at Rewire News Group (I have to give them a shout-out as well. I hope that's ok)I have officially joined the Wisconsin Democratic Party's Women's Caucus because I want to fight and fight and fight for all of us. I write this because if it wasn't for independent journalists like you, I would be ignorant of all the treachery going on. You are awesome and I hope I have the same unrelenting determination to not stop until we all are free.

I like rewire, I have caught a few things there that I don't see elsewhere.

You mention Rep. Hanson's SD bill 1244 would make it legal to create a process for signees of a petition (hypothetically to other documents?) to remove their names. People can be coerced.

Congratulations Jessica! So great to get some good news!

If the deal about withdrawing signatures invalidating the entire petition takes effect, look for anti-abortion activists to sign petitions with the intention of later withdrawing their signatures and trashing the whole process.

Evidently the person arrested here in FL, for manufacturing names for our petition to get abortion on the ballot, was also the one who forged names to get "No Label" people party on the ballot in I forget what state.

Yes, that's the first thing I thought of.

Congratulations Jessica. You deserve this so much. Your work is so important and I look forward to your posts every day. Even when the news is devastating there is something comforting about you and this community just being there that makes me feel better.

Meanwhile.... the pro choice Republicans living free under a false sense of security & democracy in Blue states continue to vote Republican for US Congress. And pro choice Floridian Republicans who signed the pro choice ballot will likely still vote Republican at state level. People keep voting against themselves on ALL topics. The Republican party sure has done a gigantic mind fuck on people.

And a special love note to the Tennessee Republicans where I live - - > Fuck y'all

Congrats on the fellowship. You deserve it! I’ve heard your name mentioned more and more as an expert in abortion legislation nationwide.
