I forgot how many great bumper stickers I have. Took me almost an hour to decide which ones I was gonna put on my car. The best one is When facism comes to America it will be carrying a flag and wearing a cross.

Is it possible to read the other comments on posts?

May the world continue to be blessed by Love. May that Love manifest in our daily dealings with others bringing softness to our tongues, gentleness to our touch, understanding in our hearts and firmness to our resolve to continually grow in Love. So be it.

We have no right to tell ANYone (even men) they must sacrifice their physical/mental health to save a child by living organ donation even if the refusal means the child dies. Why then do we feel we have the right to force WOMEN only to sacrifice their physical/mental health to give birth?

Thirty years ago, in May 1994, I wrote an article titled Auschwitz Revisited where I compared the treatment of the Jews by the nazis to the treatment of the Palestinians by israel. This didn't start on 10/7/2023.

When a guy has sex, he is agreeing two things: any choice regarding to continue the pregnancy is the woman's to make AND he will financially support any child(ren) that may result until the age of 18. If that is unacceptable to him, then he can keep his penis in his pants and walk away. Simple.

My first memory. I must have been standing on the side walk because the top of the two concrete steps is at eye level. When I described the yard and house to my mom, she said we moved out of that house when I was 10 months old.

Words have power over you until you understand that words only have the power you give them.

Happy gratitude day. I can't continue to say happy Thanksgiving: it's all built on lies of white supremacy. We can't stop systemic racism if we continue to celebrate as before. So I will be grateful for what I have & contemplate the privileges I have that can make me a more effective agent of change

What ifctomorrow we contemplate not only what we're thankful for, but our privilege. I'm thankful for my supportive family, my home, food, water, futbabies and much more. My privileges: white, financially secure, college education, grew up in safe home, intelligence & common sense, able bodied.

I'm watching The American President. This describes anyone who supports trump... "How do you have patience for people who claim they love America but clearly can't stand Americans?" Sydney Ellen Wade, The American President

Why does it matter if one identifies as a gender other that that AAB? People who are going to hurt others will do so with or without the right to use a certain bathroom. The real reason: fear. If the basic belief in two genders is false (and it is), what other basic beliefs they hold are also false?

Leaving a partner because they are transgender is really no different from leaving you partner because they changed clothes.

Amerikkka has to be the laughing stock of the world right now.

The fascists/theocrats/white supremacists/zionists/christian nationaliststs/radical religious right learned their lesson from the nazis. They didn't use gas chambers or concentration camps to take away rights: they use legislation.
