I don’t feel this speaks to my followers (good on y’all!), however my page is also public - so here’s a reminder for the masses.

This also holds true for any type of degrading talk we do about people in places of power. They won’t hear what you say. The people around you that look like them? They do hear it. And they remember it.

We discuss becoming Untamed and open our own “cages” to be our authentic selves. Rolling up the drawbridge from toxic relationships. White supremacy culture of perfection. Putting our ‘representative’ away and letting the Cheetah roam 🐆🐆🐆

@sonyareneetaylor posted this MLK quote and it was banned (2nd pic)... This is exactly where we are in this... MLK quotes that are still disrupting people’s comfort that systems & businesses are still censoring it 😳😔😒

Today is not just about honoring & loving on MLK’s work. It is about *DOING* 🌟 What are you/ I/ we doing every day for others? For our communities? Amplify black voices. Give money. Give time. Give opportunity and resources.

It requires constant intention, reflection, and *ACTION* every day in every way.

Abusive relationship 101. Gaslight. Blame the other person for EvErYtHiNg.

We had a chat with the “Deathscorts” Abortion Chaperone Coordinator reclaiming their power with that name. And then @402meg put forth this bill to allow medical (aka: pill form) abortion access via telemedicine just as SCOTUS throws us back a decade on the issue. All the chaos allows important things to get missed. 😒 #Repost @nebraskamegan

This news kinda flew under the radar this week, but it shouldn’t be ignored. In its first ruling on abortion with Justice Barrett on the bench, the Supreme Court disregarded the consensus of medical experts and gave the Trump Administration the green light to needlessly endanger abortion patients and their families during the pandemic.

President-Elect Biden has said that his administration will address COVID-19 by following the science. They can start on day one by allowing patients to receive the medication by mail so that patients are no longer forced to risk needless viral exposure as a condition of accessing care.

Medication abortion is safe, effective, and has been FDA-approved for 20 years—yet it remains subject to unique restrictions that cause serious harm to patients with zero safety benefit. It’s past time to lift those barriers once and for all. Photo from 2019. ❤️

🎙 Today on Midwest Misfits Podcast we have a candid important conversation with @bhastert host of @localselectionpodcast about his quest to make local politics sexy ✨ We all circle around this notion that we all need to be paying attention to local politics because that is where the sausage is made. States set precedent and influence the national shifts. The representatives we all send to the national stage begin locally. More engagement. More civic understanding is the only path to change.

Have a listen 🎧 #MidwestMisfitsPodcast #localpolitics #civicengagement #getinvolved

Always love the insight of @seeingrednebraska

From Amanda Gailey:

Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA deleted this tweet, posted two days before the attempted coup, in which he bragged about sending 80 buses of knuckle-dragging fascist shits to the Capitol to *best case scenario* demand an overturn of an election. 80 buses is a lot. They often seat about 50 people, so that could be 4,000 people summoned and sent by this anti-education fascist fool.

I want to remind everyone again that this cretin's astroturf Trumpjugend organization is the cause that the entire Nebraska Republican Party backed when Courtney Lawton flipped one of their staffers off at a political protest. They tried to crucify me, as well, for...what? Holding a sign asking to be put on the TPUSA "professor watch list" and then being perfectly civil to their staff. They never did put me on their watch list, of course, because the point of the list is to intimidate and it was clear that it wouldn't intimidate me. This ignorant, fascist youth org is funded by would-be oligarchs who, besides trying to overthrow a new administration that--unlike Trump's--was elected by a majority of voters, has been trying to smother one of their biggest threats: a higher education system that teaches critical thinking and historical and cultural awareness. It is long past time for university administrations to stop treating this aggressively hostile outside organization like a conservative coffee club.
