Italy's right wing leader said "fcuk off" to Warrior Douche Hegseth and child-rapist Trump.

Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice by Virginia Roberts Giuffre

“My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.”Virginia Roberts Giuffre https://a.co/d/0bs0AKrz I was hesitant about reading this memoir. Like many people, I’d heard about Jeffrey Epstein and the crimes he’d committed against young girls. I’m not talking about young women, I’m talking about underage…

“Girls on Film” by Alicia Malone

I suspect most people are aware of my addiction to TCM. My sister and I are up every Sunday morning to watch Eddie Mueller and Noir Alley, a selection of crime noir from around the world. Periodically we’ll tune in to watch films from other genres hosted by the fine film buffs of TCM. Waiting to Board the Disney Magic Last fall we had the opportunity to take a TCM movie cruise aboard the Disney…

“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” Event organized by TPUSA Faith, the religious arm of Kirk’s conservative group Turning Point USA, on 5 April 2023

Political Murders

I’ve avoided blogging about anything political recently because the situation in the United States is so volatile these days. However, the recent shooting of Charlie Kirk is one more act of gun violence in a long list. Let me add this disclaimer right off the bat. Until Wednesday, September 10, I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was. I subsequently read a bit about him and things he’s said regarding…

Where is MAGA now?

Racism is a destructive econonic policy. Ask Georgia.

'Free speech' is a right-wing prop.

[liberalsarecool]

It's incredible intellectual gymnastics to accuse the anti-gun Left of causing gun violence.

The self-delusion and dishonesty are staggering.

Welcome to Earth

Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. As my followers know, I’m rarely at a loss for words. This blog prompt stopped me in my tracks. I ran through a list of people I could interview. My husband? My sister? One of my kids or grandkids? I wanted something funny. There’s enough seriousness in the world these days. I…

Tikkun Olam

When I was studying to convert to Reform Judaism I learned a vital concept called Tikkun Olam. It means to actively perfect or heal the world through deeds of kindness, social justice, and advocacy. Originally in the Mishnah, the first written collection of Jewish oral tradition, Tikkun Olam is the mending of the law to keep society working correctly. Generally, it’s designed to improve social…

Three Books

Books have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father read to me at bedtime from when I was very young, even after I could read. He didn’t confine the stories to popular fairy tales. Yes, there were Little Golden Books. But there was also “Alice in Wonderland”, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”, and Sherlock Holmes stories. When I was reading by myself, I loved anything by…
