Never since the days of the Suffragettes have American women had such a reason to rise up against institutional abuse.
November will be our time to push back.

An incessant drive toward privatization & corporate dominance, driven at the expense of millions of people whose lives are diminished in order to feed the insatiable greed of a few, is an economic & political cancer that will continue to grow until enough people rise up to say no

But the people can say no. I know I’m starting to sound like a Pollyanna but we have to keep pushing and one day our voice is going to break through.
(Pollyanna turned out to be a change agent in the end)
When an industry is a parasite on the planet and a parasite on the health of our bodies and a parasite on our economy, at what point do we say no?
Gas is over $5 a gallon. Why? Well, oil companies made $93 BILLION in profits in the first quarter and are spending $88 billion on stock buybacks and dividends to enrich their wealthy stockholders. Yes, it’s time for windfall profits tax NOW.

“ Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
The whole point of a free society is that anyone should be able to be anyone or anything they want to be & do anything they want to do as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else politico.com/news/2022/06/22…

I’m a Jew. I’m aware of his prejudices & perceived political limitations in order to keep Southern senators aligned with his policies. But I can also see beyond that & appreciate his profound contributions. If we’re looking for perfection there’s no reason to read history at all.

Actually, right now I sort of wonder if that’s even true. We’re doing pretty good in the species suicide department ourselves.

An endless conversation about guns does not include the voices of children, who themselves are the biggest victims.
Gun violence is the biggest cause of death among children, whose safety should be our highest priority and not somewhere down on the list.
We must speak for them

We just keep pushing. There’s no one place or one thing. It’s every place and everything. Every election, every movement activity, becoming a nonviolent guerrilla movement for political change. It’s already begun. Look at what’s happening with labor etc

People will die because of this.
And to be very clear, they’re not doing this to protect the 2nd Amendment. They’re doing it to protect the primacy of property rights. That’s why so many millions of $ were spent getting them onto the Court to begin with. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…
