BOUQUETS

BRICKBATS

To Senate Republicans for blocking the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act.

Specifically, to U.S. Senator Rick Scott and his attempts to strip away a woman’s right to make their own personal medical decisions. Here are a few of the things he has done that deserve a big brick bat:

  • He voted against Amendment 4, keeping Florida’s abortion ban in place.
  • He co-sponsored a national abortion ban that would put doctors in prison.
  • He celebrated the Supreme Court’s Decision to overturn Roe v. Wade
  • He voted against bipartisan legislation to protect access to contraception and IVF treatment.

To DONALD TRUMP’S “PROJECT 25” extreme and unpopular agenda!

Google it. This insane radical playbook gives Trump unlimited power to use the presidency for revenge and retribution, making it possible for him to be a dictator from day one. In short, the plan would ban abortion nationwide, would raise taxes for the middle class while giving large handouts to billionaire donors, defund the government, do away with Social Security and would cut benefits to our veterans. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Do your research, it’s NUTS just like Felon Donald Trump.

Letterboxd Reviews

Words by Waverly Loyd Some things just write themselves. But this got me thinking… everyone has their guilty pleasure movies. Their “hear me out” movies. These are movies that in the cinephile world, you know you would get a 60-second head start after confessing your love for them. Seriously
