Good morning, first I gotta start with the news that hit last night. I’m talking about Cannon.

See the court order here:

Also…yesterday in Georgia:

To read Joyce Vance article click here.

I need some cartoons.

Via Cagle:

Now for a few observations:

Meh…about Kate. But something is very strange about all that.

That last picture was done by Dak…

One more thing:

Oh and this too:

So, that’s it for me, take care and watch out. This is an open thread.

Thursday: Cover Up

Good morning. This cartoon hit me hard. Because this is exactly how I am dealing with the tRump issue. I am literally staying in bed…or in a chair…with the covers…or a little blanket…over my head. And that anxiety in my writing there, is just part of the desperation oozing out. Even now as I write this, I am under my covers. It is like I am trying to self-soothe or bring myself to an animalistic den of sorts…a place of safety.

I am going farther…out there…by the day. And the fact that today is the fifth anniversary of my Ma’s death, doesn’t help.

So bear with me as I get this post out.

This triggered me yesterday:

I only bring it up because Joyce Vance wrote about it last night…and I always like her take on things:

Click on the picture above to read the article.

She also has some views on a new ruling out of Florida:

More on that in the article up top…

Now…the next several instagram stories are pretty tough. I’ve warned you:

Oof! We need a cleanse after that:

Just a few more:

That last one is amazing.

Be safe and take care. This is an open thread.

Good morning, I have so many great cartoons for you today…let’s just dive in!

Via Cagle.com:

Now from GoComics.com

I’ve got more, but here’s a few news items:

Yeah…it’s fucked up.

This is from a local paper in Charleston, West Virginia.

They are actually trying to pass a similar law here in Georgia.

And finally…national news has picked up on this story:

I honestly don’t know how the article treats the situation. I’m afraid to look. Yes, it has reached that point, where I can’t even bear to watch or read the news anymore…

Click on that letter above to read more about the statement from the Benedict family.

I know I have been posting a lot on this next topic, but I just want to make sure it hits home.

Y’all take care and be safe, this is an open thread.

Tuesday Something Different: Spiral into Control

Posted: February 20, 2024 | Author: | Filed under: abortion rights, birth control, Bodily Autonomy, court rulings, Donald Trump, morning reads, open thread, Political and Editorial Cartoons, Reproductive Health, Reproductive Justice, Reproductive Rights, the GOP | 14 Comments

Good morning, I am trying something different this time. I am not typing out my post but speaking into the phone and it is typing out what I’m saying. As many of you know, I have a dementia problem and it’s gotten to the point where I can’t even spell the word, and…or the…sometimes when I’m writing out a post, so that is why I have to do basically just cartoons on my days. I’m not sure how this is gonna come out but I’m gonna give it a try and I don’t even know if I can put in my personal favorite… Oh, look at that I can say the word… And they come out.

OK, so I have a picture to share with you it is something my daughter ordered from Amazon and is something that most of her friends are ordering now online …especially if they live in a state like Georgia who has a six week abortion ban.

As you can see in the picture below, it is a healthy stock of pregnancy tests.

Yes, if you look at that closely, it says 40 units in that package. Young women must now buy packs of pregnancy test in enormous quantities… So they can keep track in case their birth control doesn’t work. And that just pisses me off.

This is something my daughter told me about last night and to be honest it’s something that I didn’t even think about when all this shit was going down. That people would be buying packs of 40 50 70 pregnancy test because it’s a necessity now to keep track on if you get pregnant before you even know that you would normally know that you were pregnant. Does that make sense? Fucking hell, that is fucked up.

So let’s get to the cartoons from the Cagle.com website:

I’ve been following this for a few days now….and it looks like it is finally getting some attention:

And that is all for me today, take care and be safe…this is an open thread.
