Andrea Dworkin pointed out the irony of being told men are women's natural protectors, when they are the biggest danger. Whether women are put on a pedestal or a pyre, it's the same old patriarchy. Men & women are not different species, men are not naturally superior to women.

On the list of many things I don't understand, people who feel the need to say, unprompted, that thing you have expressed brings you joy, I hate it.
Let people have thier joy. No need to rain on it.
Talk about what brings you joy.
Joy is better than hate.

Friends,
Remember that $83,300,000 defamation suit Trump lost?
Well, he's appealing it. And guess WHO he wants to pay for his lawyers.
YOU. The American tax payer.

Sharing in sort of a "In Case of Emergency Break Glass" style.
On Sunday, a report is due that could include a recommendation to invoke the Insurrection Act as part of Trump’s effort to "secure" the southern border.
