* To donate to the Red Cross to help folks in the states hit by the tornadoes and storm, you can text Redcross to 90999, phone 1800-Red-Cross, or go to their website: https://american.redcross.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=ggl_main&gclid=CJ-O9pjJwKgCFRFOgwodN2MFrw

* I have no words for the devastation down there.

* Democrats in Massachusetts, seeing how wiildly unpopular union stripping bills are for the Republicans, have jumped on the anti-Union bandwagon. *facepalm* I can only ask, "Are they stupid or delusional?" It's passed the state House. Let's hope the senate has more sense.

* Indiana is completely defunding Planned Parenthood, at a cost to the state of 4 million. What does it matter if you are increasing the budget deficit if it's in the cause of making women in poverty die of cancer and spreading STIs! What would Jesus do? Kill women and spread disease, right?

* Katie miller has been denied readmission due to DADT. Sigh.

* Yes, I saw the footage of the racist and mysogynistic comments being made in the Oklahoma state Legislature by Sally Kern. I won't dignify them by linking or repeating them. Who would have though that this sort of thing is considered acceptable in the 21st century? I wish we were better than that as a country. I wish that openly espousing white supremacist opinions would be an automatic end to a career in any field. It's not, and that is a national shame.
