Sunday smackin’

I tried to make myself go with something light and funny and patriotic today, as tomorrow is Independence Day, but for many women, it doesn’t feel like that right now. The Dobbs decision felt like a new regime was coming in to play, disregarding that women are more than birthing vessels. Dobbs throwing abortion back to the states means that anyone with a uterus in red states will have much less freedom than before. Add the Kennedy decision, and you see an actual activist court basing decisions not on jurisprudence but ideology. If my mama were still alive, I’m sure she’d have more than a few things to say about it.

I don’t much feel like celebrating the Fourth this year, especially seeing some of the same idiots who applauded the events of Jan. 6, 2021, try to pretend they’re patriotic now that they got something they thought they wanted (being angry about bad decisions from a stacked Supreme Court is apparently much worse than trying to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election by staging an attempted coup).

The lesson for today? Don’t piss off women. We’ll fight back.

I predict this song will make a comeback this summer.

This is all we really want.
