An abortion ban is the government committing a physical assault on women — I watched so-called “pro-life” people celebrating, cheering, smiling, grinning, all so very happy about Roe v. Wade being overturned. I saw young women sobbing with tears of terror and anger and horror and fear about Roe v. Wade being overturned. You so-called “pro-life” people are celebrating in the face of…

There are people out there who love you, care about you and are determined to help you access an abortion, and will never stop — Government be damned. The Court has ruled, officially, that women are second class citizens and that as far as the Constitution is concerned, rapists and fetuses stand above women. Women occupy the bottom rung of the ladder. It is official because the Supreme Court issued their decree making it so…

From the “contort into a pretzel” school of judicial thought … and only Christian mustard for that pretzel, thank you very much — In case you missed it, the Supreme Court just chucked “separation of church and state” out the window. It wasn’t a nudge or even a shove; the Court bodily picked it up and launched it out the window. Sort of like in the movie Matilda, where Ms. Trunchbull of Crunchem…

Not that the Patriot Front, a collection of white supremacist nationalist numbskulls, came from out of state to try to make trouble — When I was a kid, my favorite song from the B52s was “Private Idaho.” I lived in Utah, and my Dad often made business trips to Boise and Pocatello, and he would take me along sometimes. As a little girl, I did not have a lot of choice in the…

Tune into MSNBC for 10,000 hours of nonstop coverage and tune into Fox News for, well…whatever…never mind — I was told when watching the January 6th committee hearings to make sure I had all the necessary supplies within easy reach, so I did. …

Because the Bible tells them so, and they are determined to impose religious law upon us all — Evangelicals and the Republican Party are the American Taliban. It is time to flatly declare this, because it is obvious and the threat they pose is real, and they are consolidating power. The Taliban in Afghanistan were not immediately appreciated for the true threat they posed until it was too…

Oh, that was offensive of me, so let me restate that: they are double-talking, two-faced, manipulative liars — I had been writing a series of articles on the Republican game of smokescreen politics, where they use inflammatory, manufactured, and cruel attacks on “the libs” — gays, Blacks, transkids, women, books, whatever — and do so to stir up controversy and rancor in order to hide and conceal their…

I got nothing more for a title, as I’m going to get very personal — I was once threatened with a gun, when I was 11 years old. It was a relative. He fairly frequently would take out his gun and wave it around, point it at his head, threatening suicide. This time, however, he deviated from his usual script. …

For a large chunk of American history, abortion was legal, and then some white guys plus some racist guys got an idea — In conservative Republican circles, there has been for decades an almost cultish worship of the Founding Fathers of America. Tied to that is a claimed reverence for the Constitution of the United States, along with an odd notion of “originalist” interpretation of that document for the purposes of Supreme Court…
