We all know about Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries banning women from doing things.
Now Israel could be the next. This is what you get when you have a theocratic country-repression and suppression of women.

Religion is dangerous to women and children. It should be banned.

Trump is now saying that he wants to put anyone who disagrees with him into mental institutions.
Maybe he should be in one now.
He's insane and looking to be in office again.

@buermann @glightly @LeftistLawyer We won't even talk about the people with jobs that died and those jobs went unfilled.
" Johnson took excess deaths and COVID deaths by age and applied labor force participation rates by age. And he got 300,000 workers who died as a result of COVID. Add that to the long-haul workers, and we’ve lost 1.9 million workers — or 18% of currently unfilled jobs."

This is what happens when you make women into nothing more than walking incubators.

If Trump ever had to get a real job, he couldn't and wouldn't be able to pass a background check, for heaven's sake-why does anyone want him in the most important job in the country?
He's totally unfit for it!

"Moi Aussi" is now hitting the Cannes Film Festival and it's been long overdue.
The men of the French film industry are very, very frightened. As they should be.

Steve Bannon thought he could get away with stiffing his lawyer.
The lawyer is having the last laugh on him.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/steve-bannon-admits-bank-account-may-have-evidence-of-fraud?ref=home?ref=home

Because the lawyer wants to see Bannon's banking records, which might contain evidence of fraud..which is why he needed a lawyer in the first place..

Is it me or are men (especially the young ones) more hostile to women now?
On FB there was a "God" pod article dealing with a man not giving his seat up for an extremely pregnant woman, and the hostility of men towards women I've seen is pretty bad. What did we do to them to make them feel so hurt?
The war on Women is still going on. Men would like us to shut up and die quietly. One instance "nobody asked her to get pregnant.." Wow...

So for everyone who is questioning why Trump isn't doing any debates, it's simple:

He can't do them any more. He's lost any capacity for sustained and coherent thought.
Just read any of his past speeches in the last year, and you'll start to understand why he's refused to do them.

@LeftistLawyer Modern economics is literally making the justification for slavery and poverty at the expense of human capital for the few who own property and have power.
A good example of that was the recent (yesterday) article the NY Times did on the sugar fields of India and how Coke & Pepsi, as well as the Indian government, prove this theory:

Since I've talked a lot about change today, I'll ask a question about it:

If you've changed something in your life or about yourself, how did you do it, and why?

fmhilton,
@fmhilton@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@RickiTarr One day, about a year after my husband died, I was sitting at the table, smoking a cigarette. I asked myself, "Why am I smoking still? My stress level is gone." so right then and there I quit it and have been off them for 5 years (with a few lapses, but I'm getting better.) i exercise now every day and I no longer allow events to dictate to me. I retired and am much happier.
Sometimes it takes loss to change what you're doing to make a different you.

I almost died out there yesterday because somebody needed chicken fingers RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

This big pickup crossed two travel lanes from the left then stopped sideways in front of me when they couldn't get into the right turn lane bc other cars were in it.

Glad my habits of careful driving and paying attention on the road paid off.

I drive with the assumption that everyone else is likely to do spectacularly stupid things, and, well, someone did.

It could have been really bad. ☹️

Even as people are saying, "It's nothing to worry about." Yeah, frig that! I'm still isolating, masking and getting shots. I'm planning a long cross country trip to Alaska this summer and I'm terrified of the implications.

@isotope239 @thepoliticalcat @arisummerland But I'd like to know why everyone is so hell bent on 'just live your life as you did before' notwithstanding 1 million Americans have died from this 'flu" (not my word)-I believe it's being pushed for the corporate interests that do not like having people scared or worried. "No Money, Bad!" "Profits before people!"

This is unacceptable to anyone who cares about this country or Europe, or hell, even the entire world.
" “No, I would not protect you,” Trump recalled telling that president. “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”
This is why we need him to never get near the Oval Office again. He's Putin's puppet, a traitor through and through:

Licensed medical professionals have signed a petition to have Donald Trump diagnosed as having dementia or Alzheimer's.

it's time we took this seriously.

This is so great-that Biden is reversing and expanding the ban on mining in Alaska-if Trump returns to power (god forbid!) he will destroy all the hard work Biden has done to keep natural resources from being destroyed.
Free article

And IDAF what the mining or oil companies think.
"The administration has blocked a proposed industrial road needed to mine copper in the middle of the state, and has banned oil drilling on 13 million acres in the North Slope."
