Happy Birthday to fellow Aquarian, Abraham Lincoln!

Here is an excerpt from Heather Cox Richardson’s newsletter this morning with a VERY timely warning to all of us living now. I hope we have the wisdom to heed it.

From Heather Cox Richardson 1/8 newsletter (which I encourage everyone to read)… once again, all of our fears for a second Trump term are coming true and he hasn’t even taken office. Can someone please explain to me why the fuck men would have any say in our healthcare decisions?

That is so insultingly dismissive and disgusting. How does a culture get over genocide? Jewish people (generally) aren’t told to get over the Holocaust! Although they do sadly have to deal with the deniers. I find these definitions from How to Be an Antiracist so enlightening and pertinent.

Shocking!

Remember when being a “flip flopper” was an effective campaign strategy against people who evolved in their beliefs over time? Now this guy can just straight up lie and mislead and completely about-face and his supporters don’t GAF

In Heather Cox Richardson’s newsletter, I’m struck by two things. One is that the right wing leader, elected by men upset that women are demanding equality, attempted a coup and failed. And two, that people turned to BlueSky instead of X because it proved to be faster and more relavent for info!!

1st, Biden took the blame for Trump’s failed econ. policies which hurt Harris. Now Trump is already getting credit for Biden’s successful economy even though he hasn’t even taken office. Next, Trump will destroy the economy again, leaving another hole for Dems to dig out of. Rinse and repeat forever

I don’t think they were actually banned. Probably trying to stir the MAGA pot?
