DEMOCRATS DON’T HAVE A PLAN, BUT ABORTION RIGHTS ACTIVISTS DO: “WE WILL PRIMARY EVERYBODY” – By Austin Ahlman (The Intercept) / June 30, 2022
Worried the Democratic establishment is failing heed the urgency of the moment, a once-pacified left faces down arrests to send a message.
HUNDREDS OF PROTESTERS marched toward the Supreme Court in Washington on Thursday morning to send a message to President Joe Biden: He is not doing enough.
Demonstrators minced no words when it came to the five justices who had voted to overturn Roe v.

Yet the anger that got many of the activists out on the street was aimed at the Democratic Party that many of the marchers hold partially responsible.
“The Democrats act as if the worst will never happen. And the worst keeps happening,” said Ana María Archila, a former candidate for lieutenant governor of New York, in an interview with The Intercept before the march. “They” — Republicans — “are rolling back decades of progress. They are taking away the most basic rights from people. Democrats have to have the courage to match the moment.”
