In case you don’t read it: basically it’s a lot of money given annually to planned parenthood that cannot be touched to keep the facilities open. It clearly states that this money is for things like access to contraceptives and cancer screenings and other care that planned parenthood offers that’s not specifically abortions.
So republicans won’t even be able to vote for defunding planned parenthood. Essentially.
This means that there is a (very small) chance that we can prevent Trump from becoming President in January.
Q: What do I do? A: If you live in a swing state, write to your electors and beg them to change their vote. You have until December to do this.
Q: Who are my electors? A: There’s at least a partial list of them here. There’s also Google.
Q: What kinds of things should I say? A: Make it as personal as possible. Tell them your story. Tell them how this will affect you and people you love. Tell them that you’re afraid for yourself, for your family, for your friends and other loved ones. Remind them (briefly; don’t overwhelm them) of why Trump is unfit to lead. Point out that the majority of the citizens of the country don’t want him to be president, and electing him anyway, though it’s the system we have, is counter to the ideals of democracy. Perhaps most importantly, appeal to their sense of honor and decency. Remind them of the enormous power and responsibility they actually have. Point out that they’re in a unique situation in the history of the country. Point out that they essentially have the ability to save the country. Point out that this is why we have an Electoral College at all (maybe include some quotes from the Founders themselves). Put yourself in their hands. Beg them to help you.
Yeah, this probably won’t work. Low odds is never a reason to not try. It’s never a reason to give up. Worst case, you’re out the time it took to write and mail a letter. Organize, dig in for the long haul, but don’t just accept this outcome. Make Alexander Hamilton proud.
So many people are counting on you. Please help. (please also boost)

For those of you who don’t know the context here, that woman lived in a period when women couldn’t vote and was meeting the nation’s first female presidential candidate.
The second photo is her watching one of the most qualified women in history with 30+ years geopolitical experience lose to a racist, sexist yam in a hair piece.
What the fuck is the “Lock Up Your Daughters” one?! Who thought that was cute?! Who thought that was funny?! Who thought that was a good idea at all?!?!?!
My Straight Baby (Hes Straight) Is going To Fuck Your Wife
holy SHIT
I find that extra funny because the baby has a pink bow and knowing straights, they would only put a pink bow on a female infant
