@Jezibaba we need to get dark $$ out of politics...and a whole lot of other stuff. I think that's probably the biggest issue. if reps couldn't be bought & sold that might refocus their attention on their constituents.
@FayreLylith how do we do that?
@Jezibaba therein lies the rub. esp, now with SCOTUS as it stands. Protest like the French Yellow Vests would be a start: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/frances-yellow-vests-62523990
@Jezibaba Ultimately we need to interfere with the profit these fks are making off our backs. We can either quit the game entirely (as possible), or we can protest & break things until they get it.
@FayreLylith it may actually come to that. I keep thinking about how successful Icelandic women were.
@Jezibaba That's another part of it..women everywhere have been at the head of these movements. Iceland is a good example, here are some others of women (some as individuals) standing up to coercive, authoritarian regimes: https://www.indiatimes.com/news/world/36-powerful-images-of-women-protesters-who-are-leading-from-the-front-to-save-our-planet-503075.html
@FayreLylith I'm going to pin this. Thank you.
@FayreLylith I think that was Mamba's point on the photo. Weekends? Really? We need a complete shut down.
@Jezibaba A COMPLETE shut down-absolutely.
