Kansas!

Fierce Planet Posted on August 3, 2022 by jnfrAugust 3, 2022

The first vote in the post-Dobbs era has ended, and Kansas, considered a very red state these days, has voted to keep abortion legal in the state. (gift link, no paywall) This is an enormous victory for women, and for freedom everywhere. That the vote was not even close should be somewhat reassuring, but there is still a very long road ahead to the mid-terms. Let’s not get complacent. Remember: The people who will put themselves in charge of our bodies to demand our reproductive labor, will put themselves in charge of our bodies to demand every other kind of … Continue reading →

So far, so okay

Fierce Planet Posted on November 11, 2020 by jnfrNovember 11, 2020

The election of Biden and Harris was a relief, but I didn’t feel jubilant as many did. I was exhausted of course, from four years of bullshit, and worn out by days of waiting for the election to be called. But more than that I did not trust the situation. I felt sure that Trump would try to beat his way out of this somehow, even though it seems unlikely he can. I was right. So here we are, happy to have won the election, but also watching Trump thrash about and refuse to acknowledge reality. His enablers in Congress … Continue reading →

It’s official…

Fierce Planet Posted on October 15, 2020 by jnfrOctober 15, 2020

I endorse Joe Biden! And so do all these politicians, including many of my most admired like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Not that I expect to swing a lot of votes here. But Mr. J and I turned our ballots in today at an official Colorado dropbox (the local library). And on Saturday we will mail out our letters for the Big Send, trying to get voters to the polls in swing states. And then we wait, along with everyone else who has already voted, to see what our country decides to become. At least from Oct. 23-25 we … Continue reading →

If you run into armed groups at the polls…

Fierce Planet Posted on October 6, 2020 by jnfrOctober 6, 2020

Georgetown Law has a division called the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, and they have put together information for all 50 states concerning unauthorized militias. Since Trump has threatened the election and the country by calling out armed vigilantes, it’s possible you could run into some of these people when you vote in-person. Addressing the rise of unlawful private paramilitaries ICAP has created fact sheets for all 50 states explaining the laws barring unauthorized private militia groups and what to do if groups of armed individuals are near a polling place or voter registration drive. Select a state from … Continue reading →

Plan Your Vote

Fierce Planet Posted on September 14, 2020 by jnfrSeptember 14, 2020

Listen to Stacey Abrams: As I write this, there are barely 50 days until Nov. 3. Now is the time to figure out how to vote in your state, and what your best and easiest voting options are. It’s time to make your plan to vote. First, register if you haven’t yet! And even if you believe you’re registered, check to see that you still are. Many states have been purging voters through questionable means and that could be you. Then check your state regulations to see if you can vote by mail or otherwise vote early. You may need … Continue reading →

Elizabeth Warren endorses Joe Biden

Fierce Planet Posted on April 15, 2020 by jnfrApril 15, 2020

The Los Angeles Times thinks her endorsement will matter. …One of the central messages of her Biden endorsement is that this election is about governing. Unlike President Trump, who was uniquely unprepared among American presidents for the crisis he now confronts, Biden has a lifetime of experience in public service and specific experience helping to steer the United States out of a deep recession: the 2008-09 meltdown triggered by the subprime mortgage collapse. “I saw him up close, doing the work, getting in the weeds,” says Warren, who helped the Obama administration design and set up the Consumer Financial Protection … Continue reading →

Kamala Harris for the people

Fierce Planet Posted on December 2, 2019 by jnfrDecember 9, 2019

I am primarily a supporter of Elizabeth Warren, but this Harris ad is very strong. I sent her a bit of money early on, to help ensure she made it to the debate stage. Take a look here. Edited to add: I’m very sorry to see her leave the race. I look forward to hearing more from her.
