Why the U.S. is Becoming Unlivable

A) Women’s rights are drying up more quickly than Lake Meade. This process has been catalyzed with Republican support for the kind of misogynistic myths that would warm the heart of Phylis Schlafly. Examples include “women should remain in violent marriages,” and “A rapist should have access to children born from his attack.” Margaret AtwoodContinue reading “Why the U.S. is Becoming Unlivable”

I Suppose It’s Just Me…

…but shouldn’t 100% of the Republican Party condemn Trump’s explicit call for termination of the Constitution (https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/03/politics/trump-constitution-truth-social/index.html)?
