"JOY IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE!!!"

One of the members of our Drinking Liberally group shared this meme with us last night. It is a shorthand version of something friends and I discuss regularly. The need to find every single moment of joy, laughter, grins, giggles, smiles, anything that brings a moment of lightness or peace. Yes, the situation is beyond horrible, yes, we despair, are angry, afraid, worried. But we need these other moments to keep us going.

Why are law enforcement officers lives deemed more valuable, more

worthy, than others?

This is a question I have puzzled over for years, brought to the fore amidst all the ongoing insanity, by Leonard Peltier's sentence commutation. wray and other leo's over these last five decades, screaming about this apparent monster, as if he had been personally using hot irons on the two fbi agents for weeks. The funeral of one of the three dead victims in the Planned Parenthood killings here, an officer. Nothing for the two civilians killed. And on, and on.

Wny?

The Daily Bitch*: "I really want to retire, but apparently you actually

need money to do so! WTF???"

*Both a noun, and a verb, depending on usage.

The tyrannical triumverate---putler, shitler and skum. All three worship the evil

little man with the funny mustache (no, not Chaplin). They emulate him in life, so it would be fitting to emulate him in not-life. The sooner, the better. Last week would be nice.

"RISE FOR FREEDOM! RISE AGAINST FASCISM!"

On this day devoted to hearts and flowers and fairy tales, we rise to observe V-Day, fighting to end violence against women, girls, and Earth Herself. One in every three women and girls worldwide will be beaten or raped in her life.. ONE IN THREE!!! (hence the one billion, one in three of the roughly three billion females when One Billion Rising began).

53 days. THAT is how long it took hitler to seize complete control.

dicktator diaper don looks to be breaking that record.

I just LOVE the hearts on the home page logo!

I just had the most horrible thought, while reading about TRAITOR**

canceling President Biden's security clearance. How long before he cancels President Biden's secret service detail . ... and how long after that. . . .?

And please do NOT bother to say that the murdering TRAITOR** cannot, because the filthy scum is doing many things he "can't".

And now it occurs to me to wonder if he will put President Biden on the "no-fly list" as well.

It is absolutely disappointing to know that, no matter how many FUCKING TIMES

the sexist and misogynist language, on a "progressive" board, no less! is pointed out, it STILL keeps showinng up, and is even DEFENDED.

Thank you for your most enlightening post. It is important to know how verry little women's concerns are valued by some. Indeed, so little valued that some even claim that THEY are offended because the language is being called out. Sadly, this is not a new thing.

We are barely at barbarian level.
