I REFUSED to participate in Rutgers active shooter drills. I am disabled. I can't run, I can't fight, I can't hide. I refused to spend time on a worthless exercise to support an on-going POLITICAL failure. These drills are legitimation rituals for the lethal status quo.

Major turn for the worse. Mom’s facility just called. COVID-19 is now in her lungs, and mom is gurgling (pneumonia and heart failure). She’s now on oxygen and the nurses asked if I wanted mom to be on morphine. Yes. So, it’s just a matter of time.

But Merkel is Putin's worst nightmare. A Ph.D. physicist, who grew up in East German, and is fluent in Russian. AND she's female. Putin hates her guts. Is the US ambassador to Germany doing Putin's bidding?

Affirmative Action white gurl here! I was the first female hire in an historical MALE academic discipline. It didn't help that I was from Appalachia and queer. But my sheer presence changed our programs and eventually the field. But it was a bumpy 25 years.

And Mom died tonight, around 7:30 PM. It was a peaceful passing for which I am grateful (of course, she WAS getting morphine every 2 hours). Tomorrow, I will deal with everything. Thank you to everyone who sent condolences. You are a blessing to this atheist.

The research is that woman are NOT traumatized by abortion, instead years later, most are glad that they had an abortion at the time/s that they did. But the haters WANT it to be traumatizing--their fantasies aren't true.

Yup. Parents of disabled children SHOULD sue the Gov, and also sue him personally. His claim of "sovereign immunity," since he's not basing this decision on science, should withstand any legal scrutiny. DeathSantis is NOT a king.

No, I firmly disagree. In an age of oligarchy, it's really the ONLY way to confront those who abuse the every-day Americans. Oligarchs have direct access to Mitch (Koch brothers). But confrontations in restraints are a perfectly FINE way of holding the powerful to account.

Please read this entire thread. When the GOP babbles on about "mental health" after a gun-fueled massacre, they are GASLIGHTING us. The issues are white supremacy and the guys who own guns to enforce it.
The folk who blame mental illness for terrorist shooting attacks should be forced to delineate which specific mental illnesses they think are responsible for radicalizing all these White men into mass murderers. Make them cite the DSM criteria and applicable treatment options.
