This article is interesting bcuz it points up the misconceptions about T. It also leaves me begging the question: When will we simply admit & come to grips with the dangers/off the evolutionary track of the world-wide religion of patriarchy? We need Mother Earth & the Green Man!

Trump and Hegseth want men to take risky testosterone boosters. It’s all based on shoddy science
Hoping to win back male voters, the Trump White House is pushing the regressive idea that one hormone could be a magic elixir of masculinity

So is the White House, the Kennedy Center, and for that matter the Supreme Court, Congress, the executive branch, the rule of law, the military, public health, and.... Let's hope for a midterm landslide and thereafter some memory in the electorate of who broke what.

I urge everyone who is reporting on or talking about or writing to folks about ICE prison camps & how they are run to start using the more accurate term of concentration camps when talking about where the thugs are holding people without due process & unable to challenge their seizing.

Important to remember the Kennedy Center is truly an international memorial to a POTUS who stated in his inauagural address, "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man [sic]."

Mike Johnson sending the House home to avoid a vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment is a cowardly disgrace…and another reminder why these anti-democratic, pro-war, pro-Trump, Epstein file coverup enablers and Republican failures need to be sent home permanently.

Just in case anyone forgot, Gloria Steinem died last week. As a 2nd wave feminist with a daughter & 2 granddaughters, my hope for the future rests, in part, on her legacy. In this brazen bro world, here's a reminder of how she touched/continues to touch women everywhere.

Happy Labor Day! Unions that fought for workers’ rights improved conditions for more than just their members. From weekends to the minimum wage, we enjoy our way of life today thanks to organized labor. We will honor them by fighting for future workers, including Gen Z.

Reminder on Labor Day: The average CEO now makes 400+ times what their median worker makes. Meanwhile, the workers who built that wealth can't afford rent, gas, or groceries. The economy is rigged FOR the people in charge and AGAINST the people who do the work.

So true. Thanks to 2nd wave feminists, for a short while in our long history as a misogynistic country, women did have some rights. What we've never had is an Equal Rights Amendment, so those rights have been chipped away. Unfortunately, the autocratic patriarchy remains intact.

I've always preferred jazz to rock, but found the between the lines reading of this opinion piece illuminating. Laura Snapes has much to say about the patriarchy (between the lines) & how it plays out in the autocracy (my word choice).

In this old woman's opinion, it seems the only way to start turning things around in this country is to start turning things around. Everyone simply needs to stop voting for any republicans, MAGAs or tRump-like candidates. Then the real work of building a safe place to live, work & play can begin.
