Cruelty IS the point....remember that as we fight against that cruelty.
Dobbs has been decided. We are devastated and angry. That is understandable.
It's PRIDE week. Celebrate PRIDE this weekend. Laugh and love and take what pleasure you can right now because on Monday we will have to start fighting for rights that we thought we had.
For Trump and his ilk cruelty was always the point. Remember that because they WANT us to feel hopeless and depressed. Any activity in the face of hopelessness is a revolutionary act of defiance. It take practice and it will take work but we will win. IF we do everything we can to win the control of the U.S. Senate in November, we can undo this.
We must take joy in fighting the antis. This was always going to be an uphill battle, but we can win it. "So keep fightin’ for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t you forget to have fun doin’ it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin’ ass and celebratin’ the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was." wrote Molly Ivins in the Spring of 1993. Laugh and be happy while fighting the good fight, because that joy is what will keep you going when it looks like we might not win.
All people have bodily autonomy, even women.
Thank you for all you do.
