The end of *Kiss the Girls*. Cary Elwes does the whole “go through your garbage to see a lady’s cycle” thing.
Just saying. The Claw is coming to get you.

Wasn’t this posted already? I keep thinking we need a song parody of Cheap Trick’s *Dream Police*, only with *Period Police*.
And at the risk of repeating myself, menstrual surveillance program? WTF?
> JD Vance is a major menstrual surveillance hawk. When the Biden administration pushed for updated HIPAA regulations to prevent sheriff’s departments and other law enforcement agencies from pulling women’s medical records for their menstrual surveillance programs (which they termed “compassionate laws protecting unborn children and their mothers”), Vance was one of only 28 members of Congress (and only 8 senators) to sign a letter protesting the new regs, which, per the letter, “interfere with valid state laws protecting life.” (You can see the letter here. It’s a doozy.)

> Think about those numbers. Out of all the crazies in the House Republican caucus and among the 49 Republican senators, they couldn’t even get 30 people to sign this thing. But the Trump campaign itself, not surprisingly, has done its best to avoid the issue. I mean, how could they not? Even the name is toxic.
J.D. Vance wants to send the Period Police to your house every month? Figures. He’s got some real issues regarding women it sure seems like.
But seriously, the article points out they the GOP is going for another “it’s not us, it’s up to the states to decide”, and we know exactly how that will turn out.
>It’s totally up to the states. Trump’s “leave it up to the states” approach applies to all these menstrual surveillance and travel restriction regimes as well. It’s a new opening for the Harris campaign to focus attention on an issue that hasn’t yet gotten enough attention — not just abortion rights as a general issue but states and county sheriffs’ effort to restrict women’s travel, access their medical records and current state of menstruation or gestation, and bar access to legal medications.

Republicans won’t actually have “state menstrual surveillance programs”, instead their plan is Federal weekly pregnancy testing programs.

It is amazing to me how much they cannot mind their own fucking business.

People are rightly dropping period tracking apps because the data could be subpoenaed. Remember that supermarket purchases are also tracked if you use loyalty cards and carry the same risk. Do not use a loyalty card to purchase tampons.

Thumbnail image is of JD Vance when he gets access to a spreadsheet of women’s menstrual cycle data. He’s so fucking excited for it.

Not sure why any woman would vote Republican at this point. Unless they’re into that kinda thing.

I’m not American, why do these old guys care about abortion?

So let me see if I understand this.
Republicans think the government has no business knowing who owns guns because that is private.
But they also believe the government should know who is menstruating or not.
They are *weird* but also evil.

Bloody tampons will be sold on the black market just like clean urine is now.
