The MT I love is a place where status isn’t measured by mansions or private jets: Wealth doesn’t matter in our public schools, rich people can’t buy wildlife, everyone is equal on public lands, all have stream access and our taxes are fair.

The religious right's long-range plan is for the courts (& Republican legislatures) to do to birth control what they've done to abortion rights. Meanwhile, they're on social media, "sowing misinformation as a way to discourage the use of birth control": wapo.st/43uAW9W
