Yeah, it’s sad. Grandpa would listen on our local radio station. I probably only remember because he was deaf, and the volume was so loud that he wouldn’t hear us knocking on the front door. 😅

What opponents to RU-486 fail to understand is that the medication merely blocks progesterone. Big whoop.

I knew Dr. Baulieu, the scientist behind this medicine, as one of our Board members; little known fact: in addition to being a fierce advocate for women, as a teen he fought the Nazis.

Back in the day my grandfather used to watch baseball, the Cardinals, muted while listening to the radio play by play.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Diane Keaton was so good that every time I watch the Godfather Part 2 I think DON’T TELL HIM KAY and I think this time she’ll listen

Today’s acts of resistance and self care were better today because I got to hang with a good friend: getting coffee at Angeline’s Bakery, walking around Sisters’ Fall Harvest Faire, and grabbing nachos at Luckey’s Woodsman followed by Opera Bend's Rising Voices: Opera’s Next Generation.

This is what ICE does to 80+-year-old clergy, protesting peacefully in Portland.

We send our sincere condolences to the family & friends of Rep Hoa Nguyen. Thank you for being such a bright light in this world, standing your ground on your convictions.

Hoa loved working people & we loved her. She stood up for the underdogs & was a fighter until the end.
