17. Between guns, reproductive rights, & college destruction I have about had it.

It hasn't happened yet but I do not ever want to see the day that I am nervous going into a grocery store because I think I might get shot randomly. Although the odds of that happening here sure is already a hell a lot more likely here than in some other countries. I really don't want to have to walk around lock & loaded.

Not only are they attacking abortion but they're not even letting women have access to birth control. I laughed 20 years ago when a grocery store had condoms behind the case and you had to literally beg some poor worker, or crypto fascist, to get a box. Who's laughing now right? Since then Roe versus Wade is dead and these idiots are ramping it up with all sorts of new restrictive rules. Good gawd where will it end... Handmaid's tale is not supposed to be real.

And super successful fairly progressive schools like New College in Florida and UNC Chapel Hill are literally being restructured by fascists. Plus local school librarians are being targeted too. Ugh.
