Today, French lawmakers unanimously approved a bill exonerating women punished for abortion before it was legalized in 1975.
This "is an act of justice toward those thousands of lives shattered by unjust laws," said Aurore Bergé, minister-delegate for gender equality.
France exonerates women convicted over abortions before legalisation
Between 1870 and 1975, more than 11,660 people were convicted for performing or seeking an abortion, according to official estimates.

This extremely sweet man was brought back from foster today; he's been there several months (may be a sitter stay for the holidays). SNAP HIM UP, Austin! Perfect family boy. Come and get him.

Orion nebula, M42, last night. Fairly clear sky before the next storm and no moon. Never saw this by eye. Wow

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Whenever I see stories about Mar-a-Lago face I think about the part of the Hunger Games books where Katniss muses that don't the people in the Capitol with all of their surgeries and modifications know how grotesque they look to the rest of us?

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

We are living under an authoritarian regime. We have a Congress that bows and a court that permits. As an ordinary person, it's overwhelming and terrifying.
What can we do?
1. Protest
2. Demand Democrats stop folding and start fighting.
3. Build a strong community by being part of Indivisible.
