This is the inside story of how the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion — shooting down compromise and testing the boundaries of how the law is decided.

Ok, now what do we do ?

I would think:

- contact your state and local elected official to try to make sure that protections for women are as strong as possible

- if your state is having an referendum on the 2024 ballot, well, you should be helping, right ?

- if you can, send money to elect and re elect dem, from Biden/Congress down to local level (sheriffs - huge !!)

while somehow, dunno how, avoiding money pits like Beto and Amy McGrath

Agree with all points.

As much as I like Beto and McGrath, being from Texas and Kentucky they’re the equivalent of a hail mary pass; incredible if works, but probably won’t and will just turn it over to the other team.

The most important thing we can do is #vote. And for those of us living in extremely blue states, we can make donations to competitive candidates in swing states - even small ones help!

yeah, I agree VOTE and also, we need candidates contesting all seats, but really shouldn't pour money into things that look like loosers

I guess that is a self fufilling prophecy ? and also it is hard to tell in advance who will win and loose ?

but in 2018/2020 we wasted several hundred million dollars on senate races (in addittion to Beto/AM, Maine, SC and some others) so .

I dunno what to do
