1792 Seems So... Yesterday

First things first, Chapter 1 of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman:

Second, like most people of good will, I’m having a hard time watching legacy news sources.

I’ve been on Ground News since it began, so I’m pretty happy with that, but there are several other videos I’ve seen in the last several days that made me feel…well… if not good, at least that my rage could find a proactive focus.

In no particular order, here they are:

• Everything you felt but didn’t have backup data for re: Public Education:

• If you’re old enough to have had a “WHAT MANDATE?” bumper sticker on your car shortly after the turn of the millennia, this might be no surprise. For the whippersnappers, listen up!

The Gaslight-a-thon we’re heading into will need all of us to keep our fact-based-memory sharp. This is a part of that:

Again, you know RFK Jr is nuts. Here’s why in a quick Q&A format:

In case you have friends who just don’t get the generational wealth thing:

Your nose may wrinkle at the title of her video. Watch it anyway - she gives us steps. Things to do. ACTIVE THINGS we can focus on rather than wallow:

More on that same train of thought:

And I’ll leave you with this:

If I had ONE dream I could have come true in our current world (eliminating “Tardis access” as a dream option) it would be this:
A YouTube Channel with regular, weekly episode round tables with (at minimum) three of the following:

• AOC

• Pete Buttigieg

• Jared Moskowitz

• Jasmine Crockett

• Melanie Stansbury

Every week, I want to hear:

• what’s happened,

• what’s happening,

• why what we want to have happen is NOT happening, AND

• (importantly) who voted against the things we wanted (because not funding something and telling us it’s because “government doesn’t work” is an old Grover Norquist1 playbook and it’s time to stop ignoring that ploy.

(Pete knows who took credit for the infrastructure in their districts but voted against the Build Back Better Bill. I swear, every single bit of infrastructure should have “THANK YOU JOE AND PETE” on it in Neon. Drives me nuts).

THAT would help with the gaslighting.

And I trust exactly no one in legacy media to give time to the truth the way this crew would. (I’m especially looking at you, Dana Bash.)
