The Portland Frogs are also really smart. It denies Fox Propaganda & other right wing outlets the video they want.
I mean, they took a couple of nutters the other day & all they got was Kristi Noem surveying a handful of people & someone in a chicken suit with Yakity Sax playing in the background.

Authoritarians rule based on fear.

Ridiculing them this way weakens their propaganda.

It matters.

For English (11th grade) we were given a list to choose from for essays & Amy Tan was on the list, so I chose her. In 9th, I think, we read Pearl S Buck The Good Earth. 12th we read Jane Smiley A Thousand Acres. I can’t remember any other women authors assigned. This was in the late 90s.
