  1. This is the #DisintegrationChecklist. #TheChecklist of what we can expect to lose in the next four years. That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left? That is the #DisintegrationScore. 43... for now.

    Keeping track of this #DisintegrationChecklist, & the
    #DisintegrationScore, is not a silly thing. I am not trying to #gamify the #apocalypse. It is a concrete measure, and if it is widely shared, it will make apparent even to the distracted the accelerating loss. A tool for those capable of caring.

  2. I'll say one more thing, & this is addressed to young women of "marrying" &/or "child-bearing age" (I hate those vomit-inducing phrases, but I think you understand my purpose in using them), & that's that if I were young--at this time, in this country--there's no way in hell I'd get married. No. Way. In. Hell.

    I'd be down at my OB/GYN getting an IUD inserted like YESTERDAY, as well. #GOP #WarOnWomen #NoFaultDivorce

  3. A must-read.

    Texas isn't the only state pushing for an end to no-fault divorce--Nebraska, Mississippi, & Louisiana are, too, & many more will follow. Red states want to trap women in pregnancy & in marriage, & they don't care how many of us die as a result. They're misogynists & abusers, & they want to take us back to a time when (white) men had all the power & we had none. #GOP #WarOnWomen #NoFaultDivorce motherjones.com/politics/2023/

  4. The far right wants to repeal #nofaultdivorce:

    "...many women 'derive a life-preserving benefit from divorce,' because under the threat of divorce, 'the husband … behaves himself, thereby reducing the incidence of domestic violence and spousal homicide.'”

  5. In the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, there are valid concerns about other SCOTUS decisions regarding access to contraceptives, marriage equality, and interracial marriage. Now, the right has yet another target: No-fault divorce. tinyl.io/9Kpe

  6. When I divorced, I was seriously depressed. For a manic depressive, a dangerous place to be. For me, filing to finalizing: 3 months. In Texas there is a movement to extend the period of time to divorce: 6 mos. Thom Hartmann sites the difference in states where no fault divorce is legal vs states where it is illegal. Studies have shown that in no fault states there is a dramatic decrease in rates of female suicide, domestic violence, and spousal homicide of women. #WomensRights #NoFaultDivorce

  7. All these dudes trying to get rid of no-fault divorce, like, you really want us to go back to poisoning?

  8. CW: transphobia, misogyny, racism: yes it is all connected.

    Brilliantly concisely put by @kjcharles

    (if you haven't yet, do read this Jezebel piece: Conservatives ARE coming for no-fault divorce, and eventually, any and all agency for women and marginalized groups.)

  9. The religious right will not stop at abortion, or contraception, or oppressing the LGBTQ community.

    Their goals include a return to the days when women were treated as chattel and forced to remain in abusive marriages. Some of the quotes in this article display an utter lack of empathy, much less care for freedom.

    Right now, influential voices on the right are calling to roll back the clock by 50 year by ending #NoFaultDivorce. It's easy to dismiss them as crackpots, but if we've learned nothing else in recent years, it's that bad ideas will spread quickly from the fringe right to the so-called mainstream right.

  10. CW: Coming after "no fault" divorce, U.S. Politics

    Remember how all those "serious" political analysts kept telling us that Roe was law and that any concern we had about it was hysterics?

    Then there was #Dobbs, there's #Mifepristone still on the chopping block; conservatives want to bring back "dress like your gender" laws (#DragBans), and they are going after no-fault divorce.

    Get ready.
