For those who are interested, the link to write to CNN about the debate can be "repurposed" for anything that you would like to write to CNN about. In addition to the climate change request, I wrote another message to request a question about planned policies and actions to address inflation and the economy.

Thanks Jess, for prodding us. And to your readers who re-posted, While the vote failed, most Americans want IVF options. R's and some D's will argue the bill went too far. IVF is an equal opportunity medical option and voters should be made, including R's and D's, urban and in rural, red and blue states

Regarding Project 2025, I’ve been using talking points from Andra Watkins, who has read and dissected the almost 1000 page GOP manifesto. Today’s post:⬇️

In honor of PRIDE month, I’ve been writing about separation of church and state, religious liberty, and conscience rights this week. We’ve explored the generally accepted meanings, and we’ve looked at how Christian Nationalists define them.

Fantastic on the Plan C thing. And yes, that's an incredible Substack.

Shared your Project 2025 Tik Tok on FB, for what it’s worth. It won’t get much play, as the algorithms will suppress it. I’m trying to decide if I’m willing to put it on LinkedIn (where I spend no time anymore), knowing I’ll get immense blowback of anyone sees it. I don’t have much social media presence anymore.

Project 2025 is the #1 thing causing me stress and anxiety right now. It has been every single day since I read about it last year in the New York Times. I can't tell you how many times I've catastrophized about it and imagined worse things than what's in this evil plan of theirs ("it's a plan to bring about end of the human race", etc.).

Do we have an active reader who can prevail on a member of Congress, House or Senate, to introduce simple legislation to repeal the Comstock Act?? Such should generate significant, and hopefully mostly negative, publicity for the 2025 plan Jessie so well explained. There will be some opposition to repeal, but at least repeal effort will shine a light. Thank you, Jessie. Love, Doc (my rep and Sens are R.)

I believe there are lawmakers who have proposed it, but it will go nowhere with this Congress.

I really like your video summary of Project 2025. But, for sharing directly to the 3 in 4 who have NOT heard of Project 2025, could you make another version that's addressed to them (instead of to us)? It would basically omit the first 30 seconds and the last few seconds of this one.

Sure. I'll do that next.

Can you please make a Facebook video for Project 2025? Sharing TikTok videos on Facebook often gets them immediately removed. ( i even got a warning for sharing a cat rescue TikTok from 1 of our foster volunteers onto Facebook & your Project 2025 I shared was removed)

You can't share the YouTube version? There's no indication on that one that it's a TikTok.

Definitely only a reprieve on the abortion pill. But the upside is with the Republicans voting no this week on protecting IVF and birth control, we have a lot to work with. It’s clear that Republicans want the govt to dictate our personal and financial choices but most Americans don’t.

🔴65% support the right to an abortion

🔴77% support the right to IVF

🔴88% support the right to contraception
