We can sit idle and let the actions of the world happen around us.
We can type on our phones and share posts that reflect what we feel.
However, nothing stands out more than speaking out in public to our elected leaders.
I had the pleasure of speaking at my local school board meeting tonight.

Just fascists doing fascist things, writing up unconstitutional orders that simply cannot be enforced by non-invasive means all under the guise of "protecting women" but in reality opening them up for unneeded abuse and trauma.

No matter how you word it, this is a national ban on abortion.
No matter your views, abortion is healthcare. Healthcare is a human right. Abortion rights are human rights.

The motivation here seems to be to create as much chaos as possible. Freeze spending with a memo. Then repeal the memo. Then say the spending freeze is still on anyway.

The problem here is Antifa is a movement, not a group or organization, that opposes fascism and its ideology. A bill like this is a tool to suppress opposition to right-wing policies over the fear of being labeled a terrorist.
That, everyone, is what fascism does.

Dear price of eggs Trump voters,
Not only aren’t they any cheaper, there’s an actual shortage because of the raging Bird Flu we’re not getting any public information about because the food safety & public health agencies responsible for that shit have basically been shut down.
Bravo.

I'm disappointed in the recent decision by the U.S. Education Dept to eliminate DEI initiatives.
As someone who has served on the local BOE, I recognize the importance of understanding diverse experiences, opening doors to provide equal opportunities, and creating an inclusive environment. /cont
