This ad is absolutely beautiful and should be required watching for every Dem candidate and office holder. THIS is how you appeal to voters.

The site was taken down after the host was sent a cease and desist by PPSE attorneys

There is an excellent breakdown on the site but here's the gist:
- A real estate agent/HR consultant with no repro experience was hired by a board member then quickly became interim CEO with no visible hiring process
- She's also a trustee at an extremely conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ college

Planned Parenthood Southeast has been taken over by anti abortion …real estate agents. It is dark and awful and you should learn about it and sign the petition and demands that @ppfa.org DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT sites.google.com/keacali.com/...

Anti-abortion/repro rights/LGBTQ+ activists have mostly quietly taken over the Planned Parenthood affiliate that provides care in Georgia and Alabama. To say this is horrifying is an understatement.

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

Trump’s efforts to militarize ICE & send federalized Nat'l Guard troops onto American streets, firing government employees during the shutdown, it's all part of Project 2025, which he disavowed all knowledge of during the campaign because it was so unpopular.

genuinely impossible to overstate what the secret police are doing. It is state hooliganism. It is gangsterism as policy. It is the jouissance of the original klan nightriders that followed the civil war. they terrorize minority communities while intentionally paralyzing local governments.
