#No Bail for Abusive Men - Put them in Prison#
I often get stuck for words when faced with someone who sees things so differently to what I do.this week it was a Insta user who was saying the dismantling of Roe v Wade was BETTER for women’s rights..I was dumbfounded..This is what ChatGPT said about it #roevswade #feminism #womensrights #farright

ADHD question: I KNOW that many aspects of my life would improve if I got out of bed at say, 7am, go to the beach, have coffee with mum/brother, do daily chores etc. Why then, do I stay awake till 2am sleep till 10am riddled with guilt and self-hatred coz I am so “hopeless”, “useless” etc..?

You have a phone, and you know what to do.
Reminder: These 6 MAGA extremists intro'd a bill that would allow S Carolina to kill a woman for getting an abortion.

I include their 6 public numbers here. Also, the official SC Govt Website lists their private numbers & addresses. Not sure why but hre you go!

To the TIME owner and editorial team,
I have some suggestions regarding your “person of the year”….
(PS - raging misogyny + utter lack of integrity + the elevation of sexual predators = increased violence against women)

I always wondered what the fallout would be for Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin for scuppering Biden’s environmental legislation in 2022 particularly given Manchin’s ties to fossil fuels

Genuine question:
If you are a Trump voter, and you read that 75 Nobel Prize winning scientists are urging senators not to confirm RFK jr… what are your thoughts? Do you trust those scientists? Or do you think Trump has made a considered acceptable choice?

The next 4 years will cause generational damage to your country - and you are too ignorant to even see. People are right to cut you off. It may have been the single worst decision of your life.

If the Health Insurance CEO had been a woman, would the same amount of media attention and general public outcry be given to her?

Why do sections of the population, in the USA, Canada and Australia, have such a deep almost aggressive dislike of/defensiveness against, their indigenous peoples?

As I watch, the dominating thought in my head is “where are the women? The girls? Why aren’t they in the streets celebrating?”
I think I know in part - but can anyone with knowledge and without condescension explain it to me?

My only issue with Biden pardoning Hunter is if he stops there.

While Trump pardons war criminals, Biden should commute the death penalty, cancel all student debt, & protect abortion nationwide

Get bold. Take action. Slow down MAGA fascism! Fight!
