With the death of my hero RBG, who was partially responsible for my becoming a lawyer, the US is more in jeopardy than ever before. Get out and vote like your rights and your daughters’ rights depend on it. Because they do.
@cassafrass15 💪🏼 Yesterday was a hard day. I broke down crying when I heard the news. I HOPE this is not an unpopular opinion. I gave DD extra love as she went to bed last night and promised I would do everything to protect her rights, equality and opportunities that lay ahead.
@cassafrass15 I was pregnant during the 2016 election and it’s really hard to feel like my being pregnant isn’t some kind of political jinx. Here’s hoping I don’t have a surprise pregnancy in 2024! 😬
@karmba My H and I were in Hawaii on our last night on election night in 2016 and I had a complete breakdown and ruined our last night there because I couldn’t stop crying. I’m hoping this years results don’t put me into early labor 🙏🏼🤞🏼

I remember going to bed on election night in 2016 as things started to go downhill. I worked in Environmental Regulations with primarily strong, independent women. The next day at work felt like a funeral. I pray by the time this baby is born the world starts to make sense again.
I don’t even remember election night 2016 because I ended up having so much to drink as the results came in. Since drinking away my sorrows isn’t an option this year, I’m hoping for a better outcome...
@karmba Same. It's the only time while pregnant that I wanted to drink. And while I would have allowed myself a drink... I wanted to drink lots and I knew one wouldn't do it. I felt similarly last night. ☹️
I feel the media is misled so many people and no one takes the time to research facts anymore, and just blindly believes what the media has told them too.
@babymakes9 currently watching the social dilemma on Netflix which explains this a bit too! I couldn’t agree more! I feel like 90% of news is “fake news”
