(Coach Patti) “Uttech said she didn’t see a problem.” Awards are handed out to cheerleaders by coaches for, among other things, largest breasts or butts. In Kenosha, Wisconsin. In 2019. THIS is why men can’t understand the things they do and say hurt other human beings; it’s because women like this one also still think …

Six
That figure we’ve been insisting members of the regime back up? The “4000 people from terrorist list stopped” figure coming from the White House? It’s actually six. Six people. So. . . they rounded up? And how about that statement from Sarah Sanders this weekend, “We know that roughly, nearly 4,000 known or suspected terrorists …
Criminal Behavior
Crime is bad. There are degrees of crimes, but it is generally bad to commit a crime. I wonder how many crimes I’ve committed this week, probably only trespassing and speeding, but who’s to say, for sure? There are laws on the books that we laugh about; they’re still laws, and violating them is still …
Fine
For weeks now, most of my sisters and brothers and I have been holding our breath. I am not sure we knew it, but we were. We didn’t stop doing the work, speaking out, ripping off scabs to publicly reveal our wounds, begging to be heard, crying out for a better choice – there are …
Privilege or Principle
I’ve been holding my breath or maybe it’s zoning out. Or zoning in. I’m not the only one. The news comes at us from all directions lately, but there is a chorus from another channel that is coming to the fore. It’s getting louder and clearer through the din of whining men and greedy, lying …
Remembering 11 September 2001
I’ve been quiet lately, taking massive amounts of information in, calling my Senators, listening, reading. . . but today I will take some time to stop worrying about the future and let this day be about remembering who and what we lost all those years ago. Today is not to dwell on conspiracies and lies …
Representative Government
Vote like a black woman. I’ve been seeing this all over social media, and it’s good advice, sounds simple, but there is a lot of information included in those five words about their choices and motivations. I was chugging right along on these two parts of the post, eager to talk about the Democratic Party, …
Lesser Evil
(This is part one of two. . .) For the first three or so decades of my life I learned to think the way I was taught in the midwest, to view voting day, if I bothered to show, as choosing between the “lesser of two evils.” As a 50-something now, I look back on …
The Humanity
Trump is in London today, Friday the 13th, where Brits have huge crowds for wonderfully creative protests of 45’s visit. I particularly appreciated the Dalek with the toupée and the photos of 45 with Queen Elizabeth of England. She clearly doesn’t enjoy some of her duties as queen. These people could renew my hope all on …
