Joan McCarter at Daily Kos:
A group of women Democratic senators introduced a repeal of the 1873 Comstock Act Thursday, citing the threat of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, a blueprint for the next Republican president. This archaic law needs to go, and talking about it—and the GOP’s plans—is an excellent way to get the word out to voters about Republicans’ radical agenda.
The Comstock Act banned the mailing of contraceptives, “lewd” writings, and any “instrument, substance, drug, medicine, or thing” that could be used in an abortion. It’s been more or less superseded by the Supreme Court and new laws in the past century and a half, but it remains on the books. Like a dormant volcano, it sits waiting for a shift in the political ground to erupt. Patty Murray of Washington, one of the co-sponsors, talked about the threat in a press conference Tuesday. “Donald Trump and his allies are planning a detailed road map, they’ve given it out, to rip away a woman’s right to choose in every single state in America,” she said. Lead sponsor of the bill, Tina Smith of Minnesota, told The Washington Post that there is “a very clear, well-organized plan afoot by the MAGA Republicans to use Comstock as a tool to ban medication abortion, and potentially all abortions.” “My job is to take that tool away,” Smith added.
The shift was presaged by the focus of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito in their arguments in Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, in which the court unanimously preserved access to the abortion pill. The ruling wasn’t on the merits of the FDA’s decision to expand access to the drug, but rather on a technicality of whether the physicians’ group bringing the challenge could sufficiently claim that they were harmed by it. In that case, Thomas and Alito all but told future plaintiffs how to bring back this challenge: by invoking the Comstock Act. They specifically asked the attorneys arguing the case of the FDA’s pandemic-era decision—made permanent in 2023—to use the Comstock Act in their challenges.
Good to see the Senate Democrats take action to propose the repeal of the odious Comstock Act (even if the Republicans block it like usual). #RepealComstock

It shouldn't be a surprise to me that the senators who are still supporting the genocide in Palestine are the ones who won't accept gender neutral prefixes when contacting them 🙄🙄
Requiring a name prefix is dumb anyway, but not allowing Mx. is such an easy thing to do. It's a microaggression to force your constituents into a binary when they contact you. You work for US! And you can't even show respect for all of us. 😒 Shame on you Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar.

Mean Girls 2024 Doesn't Understand Janis
Me watching Janis in Mean Girls 2024:
The original Mean Girls was based on a nonfiction called "Queen Bees and Wannabes". It's a self-help book for parents to help them connect with their daughters. It describes the powers of the cliques and the different roles in them.
It's pretty clear cut that Regina George is based on the "Queen Bee" role. This role is characterized by:
"Her friends do what she wants to do".
"She isn't intiminated by any other girl in her class".
"She can argue anyone down, including friends, peers, teachers and parents".
"She can make another girl feel "anointed" by declaring her a special friend".
"She won't [...] take responsibility when she hurts someone's feelings".
"If she's been wronged, she feels she has the right to seek revenge".
If you look carefully, you'll see that some of these features are noticeable in Janis as well. "Her friends do what she wants to do": She subtley pressures Cady to skip class.
youtube
"She won't [...] take responsibility when she hurts someone's feelings": She refused to properly apologize when everyone else did.
youtube
"If she's been wronged, she feels she has the right to seek revenge": I don't need to explain that one.
This is because Janis is also a Queen Bee, for a different clique. The movie makes a point to show us that there isn't just one clique, the plastics were just more prominent when Janis explained the seating order in the cafeteria.
youtube
Everyone is a part of girl world. Everybody are a part of cliques. Everyone perpetuates the different roles in them. And Janis too, is a Queen Bee. She too, is a mean girl.
Now – remember the scene I put where Janis and Cady skip class? It was cut from the new one. To me, this was a red flag. This scene was crucial in subtley establishing everything I just described. For the entire musical, I thought they were gonna water down Janis, but they couldn't have, there's a scene where she expicitly states that she's a mean girl:
youtube
So I remained fairly calm. Until I got to the scene. Instead of Janis calling herself mean, she sang a small musical number about how shitty Cady is.
...
youtube
But I still had some hope! There's still the scene where she does the "non apology" to Regina. Right? Right...?
The movie's still in theaters, so I couldn't find the actual clip, but here's what she sang instead:
youtube
So. Um. What was I gonna do? Oh yeah!
Mean Girls the Musical tries to pretend Janis is just a pure innocent victim. Not only is that not who she is, but it goes completely against everything the original tried to say. There isn't just one Big Bad in social circles, and there isn't black and white morality in girl world. Janis deserved better.
