WMW.2017.jpg — That's me in the pink hat...

Hey, Kossacks!

I’m ready to rumble, but I need ideas. I’ve given (and continue to give) money to good Dem candidates across the country, I’ve marched in the streets of DC, and I’ve marched here at home in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve done phone-banking and text-banking et cetera.

Now it’s time to do more. I cannot sit still with this much rage.

I’d like to get involved with an organization that concentrates on voter registration, education, and turnout in areas with low voter participation and anti-choice representation in congress. I can and will travel, knock on doors, engage with defeatists… whatever it takes.

Please: post links to any resources you might have that a person like me (and we are legion) could use to channel this rage toward something positive and effective. We MUST win the midterms.

I've been thinking about wombs lately -- big sassy ones, little skinny ones, wombs decked out in all their fertile finery. Normally I'd be pondering uteruses, but right now the word womb is resonating with me. Jiggling me a little. Sort of giving me the creeps. I thought I'd tell you why.

This is a story from an angry, anguished mother. I hope you'll forgive this rant: ours is a family in crisis.

My lovely blue-eyed daughter, so full of promise and energy, told me last night that she thinks she might be vegetarian. She carefully explained to me that some children have brown hair, and some have black hair, and some are vegetarian. Then she asked if she could go watch "Dragon Tales".

I could only stand there, numb, staring at the pound of pork cutlets I'd just unwrapped. Read More

This diary is a joint effort by two Kossacks: all about meme and mxwing. We're sisters. We're Democrats. And we still can't believe we haven't woken up from this nightmare. Read More

This is a joint diary by two Kossacks: all about meme and mxwing. We're sisters.

First, for the record:

We support our troops. We honor their courage and their devotion to duty. We know they believe in their hearts that they are fighting for us, and for that we are truly, deeply grateful.

We want them to come home safely to their moms and their dads, their husbands and wives, their children, their grandparents.

Today, we happened to be in Washington, D.C., and we thought we'd head over to the Propagandapalooza "Freedom Walk." Read More

WTF?

This is from Newsweek's online edition:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7856560/site/newsweek/

"History: 1776--Washington's War
Prone to doubt, George Washington
never lost faith. Behind his mask of command."

And there's a pic of a painting of Washington with hands folded as if in prayer, gazing heavenward. Read More

Flame away. I just had to get this out of me.

I still want that French-speakin', polyglot-marryin', Navy-volunteerin', war-fightin', war-protestin', ERA-co-sponsorin', Iran-Contra-houndin', centrist-bein', mackerel-snappin' Senator to be my president.

He is not Howard Dean, and I will not hold that against him.

He is respectful and respectable. He has lived in countries other than the US. He probably knows where Bhutan is, approximately. He is intelligent and articulate. Read More
