#KellyLoeffler’s stmnt Fri on #X, aka #Twitter:

“I make no apologies
(none of them do)
for serving my state by giving voice to millions of Americans who
(were duped by liars)
felt disenfranchised
(purlease, talk to the real #disenfranchised)
in 2020 — & I refuse to be intimidated by a 2-tiered system of justice
(rotflmao)
that seeks to systematically destroy conservatives across this country”

You Can't Put a Price on Nature

https://itsfreezinginla.com/articles/but-at-what-cost

Adrienne Buller asks if capitalistic financing can every truly account for all the dynamism and complexity of the natural world.

“Just as men are converted into commodities, so every aspect of nature is converted into a commodity, a resource to be manufactured and merchandised wantonly. … The plundering of the human spirit by the market place is paralleled by the plundering of the earth by capital.”
― Murray Bookchin

I really appreciate that you've included alternative words to use because I sometimes find it hard to work out what they would be.

House, Senate #Democrats rally behind expelled #Tennessee lawmakers: ‘We all lost today’

The Tennessee Republican-controlled House voted Thursday on whether to expel a trio of Democratic lawmakers after they participated in a protest against gun violence on the House floor. The lawmakers voted to expel both state Rep. #JustinJones and state Rep. #JustinPearson from the House, but Rep. #GloriaJohnson survived her vote.

You're welcome. I am too.

I'm a regular #voter since I was 18 (over 50 now) but I don't have an unexpired #Ohio ID. Why, I am disabled, with #Parkinsons. I have my old #Ohio driver's license ID but little need for an unexpired one.

2/ You may say this shouldn't affect people. Who doesn't have a photo ID

I don't. I'm a regular voter since I was 18 but I don't have an unexpired ID. Why, I am disabled, with #Parkinsons. I've my old driver's license ID but little need for an unexpired one

Now, I have to get one to remain a voter. It will be a tedious process for me. Should I bother. yes. How many will just give up. Also, now my already stretched disability dollars will have to go farther

“The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.”

 Bryan Stevenson

#politics as usual… politicians making choices for the city without any consideration of the #citizens. In fact, can we even be considered citizens if we’ve been so #disenfranchised from the political process?

Depressing on so many levels.

The main reason I'll never forgive people who voted for this.

At least Spain has generously allowed us local voting rights, but despite running a profit making/taxed UK business we have lost our national voting rights in the UK. (Due to the business we can't easily change citizenship).
