      What the fuck? Speed running to The Handmaid’s Tale, can we please not. 

    2. Please **vote** in your local elections and the midterms.

      2028 cannot come fast enough.

    4. Cradle to grave, universal healthcare would be cheaper. But y’all aren’t about fixing problems.

      We are under attack: Krasnov, J6, Epstein, dark money, foreign lobbying, SCOTUS ethics, AIPAC 502/535 Congress, Gaza genocide, soft NATO, CCP-Taiwan, surveillance-AI propaganda, political violence & ICE raids. Follow the money. Demand transparency. Hart28.com 🇺🇸

    6. How about better pedophile surveillance? Oh, I get it, she wouldn’t have a job if she supported that.

      What in the fuck dystopia are we living in? We are becoming the Sharia law the Republicans keep warning us about more and more Everytime the Republicans pass new legislation

      25 Democrats raise their concerns and then vote for her anyway for decorum

      Absolutely fucking disgusting. Abortion surveillance is not only outrageous and a violation of constitutional rights, but that is not the CDC’s fucking job.

      What constitutes an abortion then? Will a woman who had an ectopic pregnancy punished? Will a woman who miscarried but wanted the child be punished? How did you go through 4 years of medical school and not think about this?

      The truth is, she, like many Republicans do not care. It doesn’t affect her. Whatever makes her the most money and fame.

      FYI, she also worked for United Healthcare and is probably responsible for denying millions of Americans healthcare. A vile person.

    10. ABORTION IS HEALTHCARE. LEAVE IT TO A PATIENT AND A DOCTOR. A woman, let alone a black woman at that, should be ashamed at this. This is a disgusting viewpoint for anyone to have at 2026.

    11. Anyone auditioning to perform for Trump is a grifter. The world is burning, and people are either bringing water or marshmallows. This one’s got her marshmallows ready.

    12. Aaaand Republicans will confirm her anyway! These people are nuts! Next they’ll be seizing our bank accounts smh

    13. Don’t mind the diarrhea outbreak. Women (and trans men and nonbinary folks) could be exercising control over their bodies! Heavens to Betsy!

    14. First they came for the immigrants, and I said nothing for I was not an immigrant…

      Fuck every last voter who continues to support this abhorrent regime. How many Americans shat their pants in rage because of so-called COVID lockdowns (which weren’t really lockdowns) or vaccine requirements in schools and workplaces? Yet here they are, millions of voters still supporting the government that wants to surveil and control women’s bodies like they’re birthing machines. Over it.

    16. Perhaps she should turn her attention to men, who are fertile every single day from puberty til death, can potentially cause a pregnancy every time they have sex, and routinely resist using a condom or getting a vasectomy

    17. Wait, I thought they were against big government? This is the most big government thing to big government. 🤦‍♂️

    18. What the fuck does the Center for DISEASE Control need to know about abortions

      Thissssssss….fffffffuuuucking…..ccuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnght.

      Sigh.

      Add it to the fucking pile.

      I have birthed three children. I was always pro-choice but experiencing pregnancy and birth first hand made me rabidly so. It’s a huge fucking deal. If someone doesn’t want to do it, that’s reason enough.

    21. I think it’s going to take a *lot* of hurt people before America truly realizes what it has become.

      Women like her **really** make me believe Get Out was actually a documentary. Girl, what the fuck. 

    23. as someone who does abortion access work in a super hostile state, I’m exhausted. too exhausted to be scared. I’ll never abandon patients in my community
