Editor's Tidbits

In the last issue I mentioned the bus ad that announced “Mental Illness Runs in All Families.” I was freaked out by the success of the creepy, pervasive drug industry/APS campaigns. A woman called to tell me she personally placed that ad. She truly believes that ALL families have a member with mental illness. And she was messed up several years before she got diagnosed. She just wants people to get help.

Lots of news lately on women’s struggles for reproductive health and safety. Too many guys running countries want to force us to give birth every time we get pregnant. And most of those same guys make raising up life a nightmare. They claim we are “non-productive” leeches when we reproduce and raise up life. And they deny our living children income security, safe or affordable housing, a healthy environment, well-paid caregivers, time with a parent. A women in Birmingham suggests we call our living children pre-dead to garner support from the compulsory pregnancy people.

The US is systematically endangering women’s reproductive health. And Nicaragua has thrown women back into the dark ages. They won’t even let a women get rid of a fetus growing in her tubes! Her life is just not as important. Meanwhile, both Mexico City and Portugal have legalized abortion.

Perhaps women need an army of terrorists shooting and burning the guys endangering our reproductive health. That constant violence seems to be advancing the anti-woman crusaders’ cause in the US. And our government overlooks their terrorism, letting us know just how important fertile women are to our rulers.

I joined the May 1 immigration reform march with 80,000 Mexicanos here in Milwaukee! We walked and walked miles to and from our beautiful lake. There were children as young as 2 years old walking those 5 miles! It’s such a grant experience to march with thousands of mothers and children.

Some good news. A mom here in Milwaukee has sued UMOS a W2 welfare agency for violating her civil rights. Rumor has it she has already won a settlement. But we will know for sure next issue. This is every moms dream…suing welfare…and she represented herself!

Sad news too. One of our former dedicated Warriors, and my partner for 8 years, died in March.
