The Reality of never being here before. I feel like it is 1860

Get ready people because the reality of losing our democracy is real.   I said this in 2016 and people scoffed.  It is a reality.   The sides are lining up.  Brother against brother, Mother against child, husband against wife.  This may even be worse than 1860 considering the people of that...

Tennessee's GOP-dominated legislature reluctant to include tampons in tax holiday

As many have convincingly argued, tampons shouldn’t be taxed anyway because, like food, they’re a basic necessity. Of course, in the “good old days” women who were on their period were considered “unclean” for seven days, and then they had to fetch two turtledoves for the local priest to sacrifice before they could be...
