The Beginning of the End?
The far right, the Christian right, and the followers of Dear Leader, the Trumpers…all of these people want to live under Taliban-like rule. The minority rules this country, and they are overseeing the death of democracy. “Our lives, our bodies,” cried Trumpers about getting a vaccine. But that cry doesn’t apply to women’s bodies and their right to choose. Why? Because Jesus doesn’t like it? I DON’T CARE – THERE IS NO STATE RELIGION. Because these lovers of CERTAIN freedoms, want to adopt all these unwanted babies? OH, NO, NO. Believe me, this is one more way that the Trumpers, the far right, and the Christian right are eroding our democratic republic. Either we’ll end up an autocracy, or women (and men) will rise up at the polls and remove these Trump-loving, America-hating gangsters before they shove their religion and twisted ideologies down our throats.

Critical Race Theory and…Math?
Critical Race Theory…why is the far right & the Trumpers scared of it? And what the hell does CRT have to do with MATH? Look, I know you extremists want everything, including our history, to be about white people, but in the end, all your hatred of Black & Brown people, all your fear of the LGBTQ community and of transgendered people, will come to naught. Your victories are just setting you up for more defeats. Know your history. I’m WOKE, baby, and so tired of your racist & homophobic bullshit.
