Stripping abortion rights away nationally, imposing their beliefs on every American--that is their true goal. And the GOP won’t stop until it's achieved.

The fact is, the Republican Party has been hijacked by a White Christian nationalist movement that wants to impose its own “morality” on the entire country, not merely red states: https://bit.ly/3WmTdlX

Whoever wrote #pandas and #numpy have a special place in hell for their function naming conventions. Sure, why not use undiscoverable and completely unself-documenting function names? Why not write them like it's still 1978 and make sure you conserve that 16kb of RAM?
