As women, we need to have more open and honest conversations about our bodies – especially as we get older. Here's an important piece about the research and reforms needed to support those experiencing menopause.https://t.co/Ibxdu5em2X
If men went through the drastic changes that women do during menopause…the research would of been done. Its been 16 years since I went through menopause and still have hot flashes (not to mention the other effects of menopause.) Not one night without waking up in a pool of sweat. My older sister had similar problems opted to give the estrogen patch a try. Stoped her symptoms but 8 years later found out she had estrogen sensitive breast cancer. Women do not band together and take care of one another. Men still in charge of women’s bodies. if Roe is overturned and that still does not galvanize women …nothing will. Next they will come for our birth control. Our country is not recognizable…
I hate that the cable networks decided not to air Jen’s press briefings every day like they did during the previous administration. She will be missed a lot.
NEW: Support for expanding the Supreme Court is surging since the draft overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked, with more Americans now supporting it than opposing it, per @navigatorsurvey.
— No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen (@NoLieWithBTC) May 13, 2022
In 1869 it was decided to have 9 supreme court justices because there were 9 court circuits. Now there are 13 court circuits. How many supreme court justices should there be?
Last night I watched another film which got by me, these last 15 years or so, changing jobs, starting my own business, working 70 hours a week, then becoming disabled and the forced move… but am catching up a little now ~ here’s one I feel might recirculate, it’s so very well done, can’t go wrong with Benedict Cumberbatch, I reckon ~
addendum: Both these films are based on true stories, certainly more educational and thought-provoking than waste-of-time fantasy or fiction…. plenty of real-life stories to be heard out there ~
Ditto to missing Chipsticks and BobFr and oh so many many others. I wish they had hung around. I need the support of this ‘home.’ Seems others would also.

Today, people buying groceries in a predominantly Black #Buffalo community were shot by a White man who believes the hate-filled propaganda that there’s a movement to replace White people.

She’s been invited to the White House and the VP’s residence several times, and has nothing but positive things to say about Joe Biden and VP Harris and their efforts … unlike the news media who CONSTANTLY blames him for everything, no matter when it happened or didn’t happen. Many on MSNBC are starting to really get on my nerves … they’re as bad as CNN, sometimes. Keep it up, idiots, and TFG’s party will take back Congress and the WH. Ugh.
What a totally resonating and forward-leaning response @shannonrwatts gave to the usual put-down questions about "how President Biden is doing" in this area – and it was so very, very much appreciated. It was a pleasure to hear the voice of reason, for a change. Thank you.

One day,
I will post up my response to Stephanie Ruhle’s near foaming at the mouth the other day re: breast-feeding.
Proffering the kind of fear-mongering and disinformation dished out by the formula kings,
can never undo or take away from millions of years of mothers
successfully nursing their infants and children, and how we happen to all be here today.
As a former breastfeeding counsellor with her own story of how breast milk saved one of her babies,
I feel responsible to speak up against misinformation and disinformation.
–But not today.
If that Buffalo suspect targeted an Asian neighborhood, there would be an executive order allocating billions of dollars to Asian organizations by 7pm tonight.
But the authorities and the media is doing everything they can to downplay the fact that this was anti-Black terrorism
Not sure if this was posted yet, but just heard John Fetterman of PA – running for the Senate (their primary is this Tuesday) announced he suffered a stroke. He says he’ll be back on the campaign trail when he can be. I think he was expected to win the primary. Best wishes to him and his family, the most important thing.
Don't live in PA but unpopular opinion since this is a vote blue no matter who issue. Have WP ever been forced into the unique corner of being told to hold their noses and vote for someone would actually put a gun to their heads?😒
John Fetterman racially profiled a blk jogger…chased him down and held him at gun point with a shot gun for the police…that was 7 years ago….after George Floyd…after Ahmaud Arbery….you would think that the he would have some remorse…NOPE ..he says that he did not do anything wrong and would repeat his actions…
Well, I hope y’all don’t end up splitting the Dem vote and let the GOP slide in. They could just be saying Fetterman is the front runner when he’s not really. I hope y’all have huge turnout for Lamb.

Payton Gendron, the 18-year-old who allegedly gunned down 10 people — all of whom were Black — at a Tops grocery store in Buffalo, New York, would have continued his rampage had he not been stopped, Buffalo Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia told ABC News. https://t.co/QpSEtDidd1

American Racism and the Buffalo Shooting
The gunman seems motivated by a vision of history, pushed by the right,
in which American racism never existed and Black people are undeserving takers.
By Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
“The shooter is alleged to have posted a hundred-and-eighty-page “manifesto” avowing white-supremacist beliefs. In the hate-filled text, he denounced immigrants and Black people as “replacers” of white people. The notion that white people are being replaced has recently moved from the fringe of far-right politics to mainstream Republican Party politics.
The Fox News personality Tucker Carlson has helped to popularize the ideology,
and it has dovetailed seamlessly with the rhetoric of the Republican Party, which has insisted on describing the arrival of migrants at the southern border—seeking entry into the U.S. as asylum seekers—as an “invasion.”

Yes, yes, yes to everything you said.
1st and 2nd literally killing citizens. Great job, effing founding fathers.
