Fierce Planet Posted on January 6, 2025 by jnfrJanuary 6, 2025

Four years ago today. Never forget. Trump and the Republicans will try to gaslight you about what happened. I know it is terrifying that he’s been re-elected, but the least we can do is hold onto the truth. This was an attempted coup, an insurrection, and all their lies can’t change that. The incoming administration is going to be one of the most corrupt in history. Pay attention!

50 years of abortion rights, rescinded

Fierce Planet Posted on January 23, 2024 by jnfrJanuary 24, 2024

Yesterday was the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade that granted abortion rights to women. Last year in their Dobbs decision, the Supreme Court reversed itself and took those rights away. In every election since, women have turned out to restore those rights, including elections in very red states. It’s very clear that this will be a primary issue for all Democrats this year. It’s also very clear that Republicans can’t hide from the fact that their abortion bans continue to harm women around the country. In some states with abortion bans, doctors are fleeing … Continue reading →

Three years ago today

Never forget, and don’t let the Repulicans gaslight you about the truth of what happened.   The New York Times put together a visual timeline of the assault. You’ll have to click through to see it on YouTube. Day of Rage: How Trump Supporters Took the U.S. Capitol

Where we stand

Fierce Planet Posted on November 10, 2022 by jnfrNovember 10, 2022

I still feel good about the election this week, though the Congressional side of things will remain unsettled for a while longer. But democracy has survived to fight another day, and that matters a lot. Women in particular turned out in defense of abortion rights and every state that had a vote on the issue upheld the right to choose. There is also a strong likelihood that Democrats will continue to hold the Senate, and there was no red wave in the House or anywhere else. The Secretary of State positions have been kept out of the hands of the … Continue reading →

I feel lighter

Fierce Planet Posted on November 9, 2022 by jnfrNovember 9, 2022

We did good, my friends. Still some races to call, and likely Republicans will take an extremely thin majority in the House. Still hopeful we hold the Senate and if we do, we can definitely work with that. The red wave did not materialize. We held the line for now, for our country, for democracy, for all that is right in the world. Let’s go forward and push for more.

A red mirage

Fierce Planet Posted on November 8, 2022 by jnfrNovember 8, 2022

This illusion is deliberately formed when mail-in and early votes are held back to be counted after votes placed on election day. Since mail-in votes tend to be heavily Democratic, in practice this looks as if Republicans are winning early in the evening, then slowly Democratic votes are counted into the majority. Then Republicans claim that the later count was fraudulent, even though the mail-in votes are as valid as any. Expect to see a lot of this tonight and tomorrow, alongside other efforts to claim fraud where there is none. Will the GQP prime their base for action by … Continue reading →

Tomorrow

Fierce Planet Posted on November 7, 2022 by jnfrNovember 7, 2022

I assume I’ll be a mess. I have hopes but no certainty. I do know that I am, we all are, on the side of the people as a whole, of the planet, of justice for all. This is where I want to be, come what may.

Who is likely to vote?

Fierce Planet Posted on November 4, 2022 by jnfrNovember 5, 2022

I’m not sure we know. Don’t let anyone tell you young people don’t show up to vote. We are — and we will continue to show up these last five days until Election Day, including on campus at UT Austin! pic.twitter.com/h2AW1JDIRb — NextGen America (@NextGenAmerica) November 3, 2022 ETA: This report: Women under 25 could be the MVPs of the midterms Why more young women are registered to vote in the midterms — and why polling is ignoring them.
