@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
@FayreLylith it may actually come to that. I keep thinking about how successful Icelandic women were.
@FayreLylith how much do I love that??
@FayreLylith I'm going to pin this. Thank you.
@Jezibaba Absolutely. I just wish I were more certain that this SCOTUS bs about RvW would be enough to get millions of us to literally STOP EVERY DAMN THING. Just stop. Stop work, stop taking care of the kids, stop working in hospitals/nursing homes. Shit would get bad-but it's already bad-they'd come around.
@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.
@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
