A good night...

None of the final results are in; but AP has called the results in three initiatives we've been watching closely... It appears that Mississippi voters have voted down the 'Personhood' Initiative; a clear attack on reproductive rights. That's a better result than I had hoped for...Yay, Mississippi!  Maine has voted to reinstate resident's ability to register on election day; which had been law for nearly 40 years, until the Repo's over-reached and changed it.  (Oh, no!!! 2 cases of voter fraud in 40 years...a reminder that if we need protection it's protection from the Republican party) And, (HUGE!) Ohio voters rejected Issue 2;  the Republicans' bill to destroy public workers' collective bargaining rights. The decisions are made by those who show up- thank you to all who turned out to vote!

    No shit skippy. I do think the personhood thing will eventually pass somewhere.

    If the generations of women who remember what the world was like pre-Roe v Wade are able to impress the generations who have always been able to take reproductive rights for granted, maybe we won't get pushed backwards quite so fast...what do you think?

    I have such a negative real good shitty attitude and I wish that would happen of course. That would be a very progressive/liberal message and to educate the numbers needed that message would need to be heard all the time everywhere.

    Progressive/librul messages are for the most part drowned out intentionally and for years. It is not allowed nor will it be.

    You asked now back at you.

    I think this really nice totally grey cat that showed up and I was feeding for a couple weeks got had last night as it was a no show this morning.

    Hope the kitty shows up & was just keeping a low profile. I feed a bunch of ferals at my mom's house, and every so often one of them goes AWOL for a few days, but usually shows up looking partied out. Hope that's the case with grey kitty at your place. Between cars & coyotes, it's tough out there.
    Call me Merry Sunshine, but I have to believe if we can change one person's mind, and they can change one mind, and so on...then we've got a chance to reclaim the future from the wackos. Things have changed in our house in that we used to be a lot more careful about not offending friends of different political viewpoints. That ship has sailed...No longer politely allow the one-sided ideas to fly as if they are the only wisdom in the room. If friends get offended, at least its for a good cause.

    I hear that and the cat came back showing a bit of wear. It's probably a knocked up cat now.

    The cat came back...Yay! I do hope you don't get kittened. Is there a rescue group anywhere around that helps with spay/neuter? We're pretty lucky, we've got a couple of groups & vets here that support trap,neuter,return to keep the population down. I have to do some cat wrangling myself, before our ferals come of age. I used to spend $ on shoes- now it's cat food...
