I'd encourage your mom to consider retiring and then running for local office.
We need the custodians of the public good to be in positions of authority. It's scary to give up control you know for a long shot, but at the same time, if enough people make the leap and give us solid options in every jurisdiction, we might be able to get out ahead of the regressives' next attack.
Seems like part of the goal. Outlaw abortion, force everyone who doesn't want a child to hand it over to the state, which will outsource to religious organizations, and then tighten up the child supply so anyone who can't have but wants a child will have to go through a local church to get access, and the price will go up.
Win win win for the religious fanatics.
Correct. Most states' laws do not envision the situation we are currently seeing, let alone what's coming.
Check your state. What constitutes harassment, and can you think of harassing things that could be done without violating the law? I can for my state.
So people who lie a lot make up idiotic justifications to believe their own lies. That doesn't make them not-lies.
I mean honestly it's immigration with extra steps for us and fewer steps for the migrants. But who are we kidding? These people are looking at the lack of public outrage regarding Gaza and 2 years of war in Ukraine, and they're thinking, "If no one cares about Russia or Israel, then it's not like they'll stop the US."
Department of labor has a lot of good resources.
Yet another terrible thing about prisons - they target policing in urban areas where the population is high and tends to vote Democrat. Once arrested, tried, and convicted, that person is sent to a prison in the middle of nowhere - and now counts toward the population of that area, but cannot vote themselves.
Population is used to determine how congressional districts get allocated, and they haven't increased the number of congressional seats in decades. So as the prison population rises, they are gaining seats at the expense of urban areas losing the same number.
It's literally an updated version of the 3/5 compromise.
They already are. They worship the death of their God, ignoring all the stuff he said to do while he was alive. They won't engage in any common sense gun control. They worship the military while they're engaged in killing people, and then they demand those people continue to sacrifice their lives by underfunding and cutting benefits at the VA. They force births, but only to feed the machine with those bodies - once the kids are born, they try to stop them from receiving any benefits like food, medicine, or education - in large part to force them into the military or prisons where they can be controlled and used up.
Just under 550 miles. Google maps clocks it at just under 8 hours, but we also stopped three times for gas, twice for food, and a few extra times for bathrooms. And I didn't really speed. The family member who lives up there claims she can do it in 8 hours by barely stopping and speeding lol.
The requirement stems from knowing that if you aren't explicit and specific, regressives will try to ruin your life directly and via stochastic terrorism.
