It's the last weekend before the midterm elections! Get out and Vote!

- Minnesota candidate Doug "very homophobic and definitely a part of a hate group" Wardlow

- More about Wardlow as an irrefutable monster

- Wait, Steve King is also an irrefutable monster.

- Oh, and just in case that didn’t convince you about Steve King...

- 538 poll that says abortion is pushing Dems to the polls. Fucking Finally!

- Medication abortion mail service in United States - Aid Access - from the folks at Women on Web / Women on Waves.
