Jaw-dropping numbers: A huge surge in women registering to vote since the 6/24 Dobbs decision.

49. I do like what I'm seeing in the female side, especially, of the younger

generations being much more liberal. But I'm one of those old white geezers who've been liberal all her life. Marched for women's lib and civil rights way back when it was just as violent as it is today. And this was in small town Kansas. After a stint in the military and living 20 years in NM and TX, came back to KS to find it nearly as bad as when I left it and started raising holy hell once again. Only this time, I amazingly found just as many like me, my age, who were doing the same.

So there's a lot of us old hippies who didn't lose our sense of ethics or morality or sell out to corporations for money and materialism and an easy road. We're still trying to fight the good fight, through chronic pain with canes and some even with walkers... or doing phone banking or talks with anyone who'll listen. After all, we lived through the dystopia of the Viet Nam madness, Kent State, and Nixon years. We do have some experience for people to draw from, build on, and make their own. We may be poor $$$, but we're still rich in spirit.

The trick is not to compartmentalize, but to unify. We've all got a dog in this fight.
