Don’t worry, that sounds like typical male thinking - Matriarchal societies are not as punitive and spend energies in growth and prosperity instead. The cradle of civilization in ancient Egypt was possible due to matriarchy. It’s still a good idea … www.catalystplanet.com/travel-and-s...

It's vital to remember (or understand) that this entire regime (uh, administration) does not have any strategic plans, except to make sure the aims of Project 2025 are completely enforced.

#MorningVibe dravonrangel.com teaches us the meaning of “woke”. They weaponized ‘woke’ because awake people ask questions, recognize patterns, remember history, and feel another’s pain. Get woke, stay woke. It’s go time.

The way a president speaks about women matters. Dismissing, mocking, or belittling women isn’t toughness, it’s disrespect. In the past, the highest offices in the country elevated public discourse. And now, it is being dragged into the gutter. Vote. Vote. Vote.

AOC RESPONDS TO TRUMP ATTACK: "Mr.
President, don't take your anger out on me - I'm just a silly girl. Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war. It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made. Also, I'm a Bronx girl. You should know that we can eat Queens boys for breakfast.
Respectfully!"
