Also Jim, in the larger picture of all of this - do you believe this some kind of pushback by the GQP for the effectiveness of the J6 hearings. They said they would do it. Why today?

Your optimism is admirable as we are surely overwhelmed. However, "unwinding fifty years of infiltration is going to take time but we have to start somewhere," and that fight should have started 49 years ago but Democratic politicians spend too much time virtue signaling what good Christians they are rather than what good fighters for democracy they are and now we all are living the results. The right has also won the communications war with two information bubbles today both owned by the billionaire set with only one halfheartedly promoting democracy as long as it doesn't create any tax hikes or public safety inspired regulations that might result in a slight loss of corporate profits. The high court will now continue to destroy what's left of the separation of church and state and brave Democrats like Pelosi will "pray for them" and wonder why we never seem to win anymore. Now it's all up to the young people, the new majority, if they can get off their phones long enough to stop being manipulated by social media so they can form some independent thought. Good luck with that.

I just found out about this “ruling” 10 minutes ago. I agree with Jim and Timothy Snyder. Stay calm.

KatheO , just cry. Weep may be a better expression. Rage tears is good too. It really is healthy. It is normal to feel shocked and enraged. Channel the rage into the safest/healthiest way you can.

Go beat the shit out of some inanimate object, or play some music and TURN IT UP AND SING AS LOUD AD YOU CAN.

If you have addiction or affective disorders please be safe. Just has always worked for me in the past.

OK. ❤️ You all.

Here come the tears.

Let them fall. 🤍

I keep having to stop crying. There are marches at 5 pm all over. Women! join a group. Google Red, Wine & Blue for activists in your area. And men MEN! get out here with us! Work polling stations and take others to VOTE! Talk to every man you meet about our fkn rights! No fear now. No fear.

The Men will be there for us KatheO. I really would not want to be around most of the Men I have known right now, their anger will be boiling the fuck over for this attack on our bodies. If there is one thing I do know… THEY are the ones who are going to have to strive a little harder to keep it together. I love your passion by the way.☘️
