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.

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

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/

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

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
