Women are not someone's appendages, but independent, autonomous, and soulful beings.

Support women's rights. Women should not be disrespected. Liberalism and democracy win.

“At stake is a fundamental component of the framework of US constitutional democracy. It begins with the principle, enshrined in law, that military forces exist to protect the country from existential threats-such as an invasion or rebellion-not to enforce the law.”

The National Guard Deployment in LA Is a Threat to Democracy
The law permits such action by the president only in cases of invasion, rebellion, or danger of a rebellion. This is none of those.

Grateful for Paul Buhle's generous review of *Freedom Ship* @theprogressivemag.bsky.social: "a stirring demonstration of just how much a careful researcher can uncover about the past, and how profoundly those discoveries can upend a history we thought we knew well." progressive.org/latest/all-a...

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.
In preparation for next week’s parade/demonstration, tanks are being moved into Washington, DC today. Unprecedented.
