    I made a quick stop at TJ Maxx yesterday and as I was buzzing through the store, I glanced over at a shelf of patriotic decor. With so many current events on my mind, for a minute the ‘fragile, handle with care’ tag registered in my mind as an intentional part of this sign. It’s not, but maybe it should be. I had to stop and take a picture of it.

    The protests have to turn into a commitment to VOTE in every election, become politically active, and get every like-minded person you know to do the same.

    *plus keep protesting, keep the heat on.....

    *along with this, several of my younger friends who live in states where abortion will continue to be legal have offered on social media to open their homes to women who need a place to stay for a few days, no questions asked. There seems to be a semi-underground network being formed of women helping women.

    Colorado passed a Reproductive Health Equity Act back in April to codify abortion as a protected health option.

    Success has a great deal more to do with being than gaining. Whatever
    we gain can be taken away from us by those who give it to us or those
    who take it away. But real success rests on what we become
    that is not given to us by anyone but ourselves.

    To love very much is to love inadequately; we love--that is all.
    Love cannot be modified without being nullified.
    Love is a short word but it contains everything. Love means the
    body, the soul, the life, the entire being. We feel love as we feel
    the warmth of our blood, we breathe love as we breathe the air,
    we hold it in ourselves as we hold our thoughts. Nothing more
    exists for us. Love is not a word; it is a wordless state
    indicated by four letters.

    Now, can we all see that NO Republican can be trusted, ever. Not even thouse who are supposed ti be above ALL reproach. I do know that it is the last three judges who have up-ended things. I guess on the one hand we can be thrilled that they are in a hurry to take us all over. I also think that is the thing that will work in our favor. We need to expand Senate seats -- not lose any and add more so as to nullify Manchin and Sinema -- so two more is enough.

    We could then put more judges on the court to nullify the last three mind-bending over-achievers that will take us back to the dark ages. Also do more about guns so more reasonable, sane and decent people stay alive. We could also work to rid our government of as many extremists ( no matter what affiliation ) as possible and have more there that take their oath of office seriously. We can return to being a role model for democracy.

    May be an image of text that says 'Get an abortion or don't. Be gay. Be straight. Be transgender. Believe in God. Be an atheist I am pro-leave people alone. I'm pro-respect people even if you disagree with them I'm pro-supporting family and friends. I'm pro-mind your own damn business!'

    To me this says that I, or for that matter, anyone was born on this earth to be the one who is judge. There is ( if you believe or even if you don't ) only one who can judge for others. We were not put on this earth for that. We learn well, hopefully the learning makes us far better, but we only judge ourselves. We are here to learn and grow and be good caretakers of the EARTH so that those coming after us will have the best opportunities to learn and grow as well. The learning is not to judge people, but to be able at the appropriate time to judge ourselves.

    Trying to force our will ( which many try to call God's will ) on others is not workable. First off, how the h**l do they know as we are all different with different needs and one size doesn't always have much of a fit.However; we are all capable of knowing ourselves and in that we can judge.

    You may help in some way, but you were not sent here to be in charge -- no matter how strongly you believe you know and can. Only someone fairly impartial, can even begin to attempt being in charge and religious zealots are in my mind, way too inbalanced mentally. Power, and greed are not lofty principles, but that is what is behind all of this. Impartiality and consideration, tempered with empathy, but that is not what overturned Roe and kept giving guns to people who shouldn't have them. That is what allowed killing kids already in this world.

    Let’s hope the anger that everyone feels today continues through the November elections. Americans have a tendency to have a short attention span.

    Cardplayer, I couldn't agree more. This time it really means something to have as smany Democrats as possible vote for OUR side period. I'm hoping that the 1/6 hearings will continue to make a strong impact. Almost a shame that we had to have the interuption but hopefully it will all bounce right back in two weeks when they are resumed. I do hope their is enough materials to carry on a bit longer. Would be nice to feel a super-solid impact was made. Ir has made a GOOD difference already but in the case -- the more the merrier, or better for us.

    Held my breath in the 2020 election for a short while, and I know I will again. 2020 election was touted as so important ( for getting rid of the Loon ) and it was. I had no idea then that this one may well be quite a cur above even 2020.

    I think if Reps. keep up what they are doing, there is a chance for us to do well although the attnetion span does cause concern. Just don't tell that to ignoramus Susan Collins I said it that way. We have a bad attention span and we are just too nice and far too willing to play ball with those who have shown they will steal the ball every time if they get the chance. I am reminded about where nice guys end up usually.
