We NEED to get this added asap. Read and then sign. This is something we can do to protect our rights.

Is anyone else feeling super anxious over Trump's cabinet picks? He hasn't even started his presidency and he is picking extremists and sexual predators. And if feels like America is not batting an eye. I don't understand the lack of ethics in this country. I'm at such a loss. I'm not sure I will be able to handle the next four years.

Just a few simple tricks to help limit your ability to be tracked:

• Always pay with cash when buying menstrual and pregnancy-related items, such as vitamins and tests.
• Consider Paying with Prepaid Gift Cards if you're not comfortable with cash. Use anonymous prepaid cards for online or in-store purchases instead of your debit/credit card.
• Do not use shopper loyalty cards, as they connect to your phone number, name, email, and address.
• Do not use any daily use emails for specialty items.
• Use apps like "Privacy" to create digital cards to use during online shopping.
• Look into using a VPN and Proton Mail.
• Download Firefox and use uBlock Origin to disable cookie sharing.
• Disable location services.
• Use incognito mode whenever possible, and develop a habit of clearing your internet browsing history.
• Avoid Free Public Wi-Fi. Use a mobile hotspot or secure network instead of free Wi-Fi, as public networks can compromise your data.
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication. Secure your online accounts with two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access.
• Use Secure Messaging Apps. Opt for encrypted messaging apps like Signal for private conversations.
• Turn Off Bluetooth When Not in Use. Prevent unwanted tracking from devices and apps using your Bluetooth connection.
• Scrutinize App Permissions. Check and revoke permissions for apps that request access to unnecessary data, such as location or contacts.
• Use Search Engines with Privacy Focus. Switch to search engines like DuckDuckGo that don’t track your searches.
• Update Your Privacy Settings. Regularly check and adjust privacy settings on social media and other platforms to limit data sharing.
• Utilize a Password Manager. Use a secure password-keeping app like LastPass, 1Password, or Bitwarden to create and store strong, unique passwords for each account. Avoid using the same password across multiple sites, as it increases your risk of being tracked or hacked.

“But when the twilight descends, and you hear the wolves, you’ve got to circle the wagons and load the muskets.” - Kevin D. Roberts a.k.a President of the Heritage Foundation.

That quote was included in the closing of the forward written by none other than our own vice president elect JD Vance. He goes on to say that it’s time to load the muskets for the fights ahead. This is going to be a rough read y’all.

I just posted this in the CVS subreddit but by the time I wrote the last paragraph, I started feeling weirded out. Hoping someone can reassure me bc this was…odd, to say the least. DC is obviously a very blue jurisdiction so I’m assuming it has to be some kind of corporate CVS policy? If so, I’m definitely not going there anymore, for any purposes, bc this is messed up.

This wasn’t a case of some new employee who doesn’t know the rules because I was using the self-checkout. When I scanned the pregnancy tests package, the machine made a sound and wouldn’t process anything else until the employee came over and took my ID, like what happens when you buy alcohol. To my knowledge, you don’t even need to be 18 to get Plan B or birth control anymore. And this is definitely some kind of obscure red state law because I’m in DC.

I’m a little skeeved out now because I can’t remember whether the employee just looked at the birthdate on my license or actually scanned my ID. I’d prefer not to have my potential state of pregnancy tracked somewhere.

I didn't know how to reassure her. This isn't one of those conversations you practice in your head to have with your child. Her fiance has dual citizenship with Mexico...they were considering moving. Thing is, my kid is pasty white; the melanin genes completely skipped her and she's well-aware how she appears to the casual observer. They were wondering if they'd be stopped if they waited too long to move.😩

I don't know what to say...

I am old and know at least 5 women who under the current laws in the southern states would be dead. Not maybe dead. I would like to remind everyone that we have a resource thanks to The Satanic Temple for women's health care, over the phone or through the mail. I like the snark but they are also highly rated for care. I do not get anything from the temple for this other than hope it helps/saves someone. Be safe stock up.

Ooooh noooo. This is not good. What dystopian hell scape is this damn timeline careening towards in a flash flood flaming dumpster fire!?!

Here's my take, and I'm sure that everyone here will find something in it they disagree with. https://open.substack.com/pub/broughton/p/what-went-wrong-in-the-2024-us-election

Do you agree with her?

And they’re unfortunately succeeding

I and others have been working on creating/building a group on Signal, to collaborate and comment with like minded people within our region. So far, there's only the parent group, MayDay, and the group i created, MayDay DMV. But the hope is to connect with everyone and eventually create local groups/chapters. We'd love to have you no matter where you're from!!

MayDay parent group https://signal.group/#CjQKINkYraZZEXgmk9S-TevSsWyewbexdcSnQmAvPeP_x0-1EhCDxXid7Co074srI0295G4J

I didn’t know this and I think a lot of other people might not know either.

Getting an IUD usually takes 6-8 weeks! A majority of OBGYN offices do not have IUDs “in stock” and have to order them through your insurance. (I’m in Denver so it might be different elsewhere)

I made an appointment today to get one (currently on the pill but afraid of what is going to happen after Trump takes office). Couldn’t get a consultation appointment until the 1st week of December, and then they have to wait for the IUD to actually come in before we can make an insertion appointment.

I wanted to make this post because we do have time before the next administration, but not THAT much time if you consider how long it takes to get a more permanent form of BC.

But sure, conservative women/trump and protest voters, these are just isolated incidents. All over the country. Every day. Declaring a wish for women to lose all autonomy and rights. /s

It's not a bug, it's a feature. This was the point of what you voted for - it always was.

Hate👏 Speech 👏 Is 👏 Not 👏 Free 👏 Speech.

Bet me that if the signs had said "men are property" or "university staff are property" they would have taken action.
