Even on Summer Weekends WannaBe Fascists Masquerading As Republicans Keep Doing Literally All They Can To Take Our Rights

 




 
My sun-activated stress hives are ruining both my hands, y’all
 

 

Of course Kavanaugh waits till Congress leaves town.  Of course he and Kemp and DeSantis and Abbott take people’s rights away literally in the dead of night.  (Latest SCOTUS ruling in comments.)

What bothers me the most is that WE SHOULD KNOW who paid off his tens of millions of dollars worth of debts just before his SCOTUS confirmation hearing – because generally candidates who hold that level of debt are not considered for a seat on the high court because of the extent of the possibility that candidate could easily be compromised – and who paid the several million dollars worth of mortgage on his house.

 


 



 

Here’s what I think I know – it doesn’t take the Nap Ministry to repeatedly assert it for even the semi-conscious and –conscientious among us to know that rest and living wage and healthcare and housing are penumbral rights every American should be able to enjoy.

 

If we don’t remain vigilant even when we rest, however, we have to know there are people who are hungry and eager to take those things from us and hoard all this society’s benefits for themselves who have been enabled to do it because they were empowered by mechanisms decades in the making that were activated and propelled while we were too busy, too tired, too underpaid, or too uninformed to be looking.
