Abigail! In the name of whatever you call holy, do NOT stop writing. I am working on a piece about education, and how our system of education has let us way, WAY down for years. stay tuned. Your voice, along with everyone else's, is what is going to insure we CAN still vote. Even that is threatened unless we all turn to. Thank you for that gravelly, brave, no-holds-barred voice of yours. ❤️

And a righteous read, it was. Thanks for posting up what so many of us are thinking and feeling -- especially this: "But I can still fucking vote!" I'm with ya.

Thank you, Abby. Sometimes you need to hear a battle cry from another part of field to know you aren’t out in the wild alone. I’m howling back and also giving you a standing ovation. Rat bastards indeed. For some reason lately, I have hope. They will not win, Abby. I genuinely do not think they will. Hugs and love from Cali.

Liars and traitors and bloody bastards—Oh, my!!! In 1958, Buddy Holly nailed and hailed your rollicking ballad—Rave On!!! So glad you decided to let your angst and ire run strong and free. No rant should suffer the bitter, often bogus, bonds of restraint. As always, your voice is true and your song compelling. And your remedy the only peaceful one—Let us gather at the ballot box to rid ourselves of this troublesome political pox .

We must all rant. And rant some more. AND fucking vote.

Keep saying the quiet part out loud, Abby. Not so quiet anymore. I hear the screaming. Gotta go, Orange Boy. Your ranks are thinning.

A disciplined rant is not really a rant. A rant must be both boisterous and bodacious, bouncing off the walls.

Amen! says the non-believer.

I never thought to see this country sink so low; it truly feels like a kind of insanity, a brain-fever to put money above all else. It is literally killing thousands of people and causing millions to live in fear and dread and anger. I try my best to protest, to shake the rigid structure, but until we reverse the Citizens United court decision we're fighting uphill.

Unlucky, not the right word. Rant on, your wisdom is right on. White Republican men are fffing more than their white wives....

You are on a roll.

I do hope this crap tolls out of your head, so you can get the rest you deserve.

Everything is connected. "Juvenielle delinquent."

Big hug to you/ curse on...

How I share your outrage. Preach, sister! Preach! You can hear an “Amen,” coming from this corner.
