they are pushing on the border
Jen is still pivoting. We're less than 60 days in and working to repair a dismantled system, etc.
Again frustrated with her non answers.

I can't believe we are STILL having this most basic of fucking conversations about violence against women. Lord help me. How is this possible? I have a lot of feelings about cops and defunding is on my mind today. To watch this kind of violence keep being excused by male investigators is beyond infuriating. It feels like we are making NO PROGRESS on justice in this country. We need more women in the room. We need more women detectives. We need more women reporters holding feet to the fire. The men keep showing they can't be trusted. I do agree we need more equitable representation and more women in positions of power. I also know that women uphold the patriarchy too. So I would just caution against female tokenism.

I'm trying to figure out if Jen is as frustrated with the slowness at the border as well.

I read a good thread a year or so ago about how media outlets can do better by not giving the police narrative the default status of an "official" narrative. They for too long have been treated as some neutral source of fact-based information when clearly they are people with their own prejudices, biases and flat out hate within a larger racist institution. (And that's not even getting into when they outright lie to protect their own.)

A Texas man has been arrested for being outside of MVP Harris' residence with a gun and high capacity ammo feeder (I don't gun but they don't say magazine?). SS was alerted to look out for the man via intelligence briefing, which makes me think he was there with a plan and not randomly detained. www.cnn.com/2021/03/17/politics/kamala-harris-residence-arrest/index.html

Man, today has been something else in the news.
I can't formulate how disappointing & enraging it all is.

Per WaPo, IRS filing deadline postponed til May 15, due to backlogs, etc. linkHoly shit it’s even worse than I thought. Cool so I won’t be getting any money for months. I know I’m complaining from a very privileged position but this is roughly 15k between the stimulus owed and my refund and it was going to seriously make a dent in some debt we had to take for our new furnace and vet bills. Fucking IRS.

I’m pretty sure Senator Ossoff will not be invited to any parties thrown by Mitch. He just gave a fantastic interview (at least the end was )) to O’Donnell. Some choice phrases Nobody is scared of Mitch McConnell IF he continues to be leader in his party Better get on board with the American people

Apparently Ron Johnson couldn't be bothered to show up to spew his racist shit in this hearing, so he has tapped Chip Roy to pinch hit.
Chip is really sad about AAPI but MORE concerned about cartels.

Chip thinks China is a bad guy.
Steve Cohen literally just got done stating politicians need to be careful in their words. and Chip is going off blaming China.

I really hope this opens a conversation about legitimizing sex workers, too. But it won't.
It's especially enraging when I see males making comments about "hookers" when.....wait for it...the majority of the fucking clientele is male. Men will never stop wanting to pay for sex, so stop looking down your nose at it.
Also I know it invokes strong feels, but the conversation also needs to opened up about porn and IMO to stop demonizing it and talk about using it responsibly. It falls along the lines of solely promoting abstinence for birth control. Discussion, accountability and balance, because it's not going away.
