Last Notes npub1m45wlaggjxeqmfunkq543jlp939ssewa5u4v6cacwzpg7hj7hh9syvwusr Jackie Gardina My parents had a traditional gender defined marriage. My dad worked outside the home, my mom stayed home and was the primary caregiver for 10 kids. But my mom and dad did not vote together. And that fact was known - they joked they had a mixed marriage. My dad was a traditional R, my mom an independent lean D. I feel so sad that there are women today that don’t feel the same freedom my mom did 60 years ago. npub1m45wlaggjxeqmfunkq543jlp939ssewa5u4v6cacwzpg7hj7hh9syvwusr Jackie Gardina This picture brings me such joy. #HarrisWalz2024 #Vote https://cdn.masto.host/awscommunitysocial/media_attachments/files/113/396/975/809/887/267/original/0afd3b4b05bc7211.png npub1m45wlaggjxeqmfunkq543jlp939ssewa5u4v6cacwzpg7hj7hh9syvwusr Jackie Gardina I can't even.... #washington_post #democracy #journalists https://cdn.masto.host/awscommunitysocial/media_attachments/files/113/369/697/189/073/733/original/cfbc34fa69f91e46.jpeg npub1m45wlaggjxeqmfunkq543jlp939ssewa5u4v6cacwzpg7hj7hh9syvwusr Jackie Gardina With Election Day around the corner, I am reposting our conversation with @npub1fsx…af5j about his push to amend the constitution to include the right to vote.

He glorified the Chinese government's response to protests. "You mean firm hand as in China? When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength.

We should be very concerned about the dangers of prosecutorial overreach when it comes to former presidents alleged criminal conduct while in office. We should NOT be considered at all about the dangers of prosecutorial overreach when it comes to doctors who perform lifesaving abortions in Idaho.
