New PZ/Pharyngula: more catchy similes, responses: re the RWNJ-War on females+whatever else ya got.
Here.


A sense of dread and impending doom
The end is racing at us so fast — we’ve been watching movies about the zombie apocalypse or handmaid’s tales, totally oblivious to what’s happening right here, right now. Michelle Goldberg warns us of the dangers of the anti-woman legislation sweeping various states.

…a lesson of fundamentalist regimes worldwide is that when reactionaries try to enforce their ideas about gender traditionalism, they can be more tyrannical than real tradition ever was. Granting personhood to fetuses has already enabled some states to subject women to new types of social control; as ProPublica reported, in 2014 a woman was arrested under Alabama’s “chemical endangerment of a child” statute for taking half a Valium while she was pregnant. Those who might be ambivalent about abortion should realize that these strictures can apply to them as well.

As we watch Donald Trump remake this country in ways that once seemed unimaginable, it’s tempting to reach for historical analogies to grapple with what’s happening. It’s why, as people struggle to understand how his abuses of power might be constrained, there’s been renewed interest in Watergate. Yet, as in the comparison between Richard Nixon and Trump, the past can prove inadequate to understanding the depredations of the present. Rather than moving backward, we’re charting awful new frontiers.

Dunno if tinfoil is sufficient armor against the combined forces of Murican-armed fascists-United, all singing the Horst Wessel song, as they arrest wimmenz for not holding-in 'that menstrual blood' ... Yes, you Are in the tiny-world of: Old White Men celebrating that their ignorance extends way-beyond ... the ignorance of Ordinary-men, every-when.

New I like the constitution we have especially ammendment nine
Amendment 9
- Other Rights Kept by the People
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


Unless a specific right, like a right to privacy is not enumerated nor forbidden by the constitution, it belongs to the people.

It cannot be abrogated by the states.

New Easy to love, but when an entire mob agrees to ignore it "in toto"
that means: they ain't read that one along with the others: Catch-22-2019.

Every. Hour. the pendulum swings: will 2020 be that last "run-up-to an election"? /ultimately superseded by fiat.
(From another venue: Note the changes from 1-20-17 through (tomorrow); note #days to election). Imagineer.



Figured I'd learned how to suck-it-up around weirdos, but I can't think of a strategy re zombies. Except the obvious: all-over, giant concentric circles form/each armed-to-the-teeth;

Megaphone-guy says, FIRE!!
Each one sights on a cohort-who-doean't measure-up to His-standards.
Simple, eh? (they already have the hardware and daydream about using it, Big Time.)
