We've sat around hiding all the awfulness of the world from our attention long enough. I may wish peace for all, but I do have eyes to see.
I think anger is a great motivator for action. Think about that for a minute, but not long enough to cool down. It's really needed to make plans for 2024. Real efforts to tell truth to lying bastards and gullible followers.
Need more proof that your right to plan your family is in the GOP’s crosshairs? Look no further than the fascist agenda the Heritage Foundation has cooked up for Donald Trump or whichever Republican might occupy the White House in 2025. It’s not just about setting up a dictatorship that will exact revenge on Trump’s enemies: The Project 2025 agenda includes ending universal access to birth control under the ACA, stating that the “contraceptive mandate issued under Obamacare has been the source of years of egregious attacks on many Americans’ religious and moral beliefs.”
quote from:
need emergency treatment if you’re pregnant? Fifth Circuit orders doctors to let you just fucking die
and by the way, the shitheads are also coming for your birth control
get angry. stay angry. and vote.
I want the “let’s punish Joe Biden” crowd to think very hard about whether or not they want to give God’s Own Emperor for Life Little Donny Fuckface — or any future Republican president — the opportunity to appoint more corrupt bought-and-paid-for Federalist Society hacks to our nation’s courts.
because you know they fucking well will.
Issue TWO: LGBTQ+ Rights (for everything!)
Celebration (of a kind) for some good LGBTQ+ news.
Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk whose refusal to sign marriage certificates for same-sex couples grabbed national headlines in 2015, has lost her bid for re-election to the Rowan County clerkship. The Republican lost to Democrat Elwood Caudill Jr., 54 percent to 46 percent.
then she wound up on the losing end of a lawsuit.
A federal jury has awarded $100,000 to a same-sex couple who sued a former county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue them a marriage license, claiming that doing so would violate her religious beliefs.
and yesterday, a judge ordered her to cough up over a quarter million dollars to cover legal fees.
Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.
justice, it’s what’s for breakfast.
Thanks,
Jeff Tiedrich

More issues to be angry about, and make plans to voice that anger publically...to not stand/sit silently by while these RIGHTS are subsumed. We must fight for DEMOCRACY!
How about gun control? And the environment and climate change? I won't even go into the world politics where wars are raging.
So sayeth this octogenarian female who can speak volumes via the internet.
What about you? Where's the spark within you that has been carefully tended while the last 7 years have happened?
