Say WHAT, Chuckie??? | Filosofa’s Word

…As I said, the bill passed in the House … 357 to 70 with 188 Democrats and 169 Republicans voting in favor and 23 Democrats and 47 Republicans opposed.  Next it moves to the Senate … where it should be a no-brainer, right?  Right???  And this is where Grassley’s perfidy comes in … straight from the horse’s mouth:

“Passing a tax bill that makes the president look good — mailing out checks before the election — means he could be re-elected, and then we won’t extend the 2017 tax cuts…”

Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Você erra, em toda escrita que deixa de praticar ( se você escreve como eu). Ainda que caminhe lentamente, continue. No final, ao olhar para trás, verás que extensos metros de terras, foram necessários para construir o teu caminho. Acredite: O importante é você caminhar e fazer a sua parte, porque em algum momento, vem a vida e te contempla com o bem que você faz a si e aos outros.

Violência Contra a Mulher – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Eu acho muito interessante as pessoas me dizerem que abracei uma ” causa perdida” que é a violência contra a mulher. É uma causa perdida para elas, perdida para quem pensa igual a sua forma de analisar a questão. Outras alegam ” O governo liga para isso “, omissão dele e de todos os outros que não acolheram até hoje, a questão como deve ser encarada. Todavia, vamos fazer jus ao governo atual que tem trabalhado muitas questões importantes relacionadas ao problema. Lutar contra a violência doméstica por exemplo, não é ” modinha” como muitos dizem. É por conta de pensamentos assim, que esta não deve silenciada ou tornar-se esquecida, para ganhar visibilidade só quando for interessante para algumas pessoas que estão no poder. É importante sempre ter vozes, indivíduos conscientes, lutando por essa causa. Nenhum ganho feminino veio de graça; pelo contrário, morre mulheres todos dias por motivo fútil, por justificativas como ” O homem não foi preparado para lidar com separação, por isso mata”. Inadmissível tal pensamento. Não se pratica a violência porque você é um ser irracional. Se assim fosse, não teríamos evoluído; nos diferenciariamos das outras espécies. Quem mata, pode usar de inúmeras justificativas, mas racional você é, todos nós somos e tem capacidade de fazer as nossas escolhas. E se você mata, responde por isso. Agora, a causa é nobre e é preciso se continuar lutando por ela.

Florida: State Attorney General Asks State Court to Strike Abortion Referendum Because Voters Won’t Understand It | Diane Ravitch’s blog

The Orlando Sentinel editorial board wrote:

Next week, Attorney General Ashley Moody will come before the state Supreme Court and argue that Floridians can’t be trusted to understand a ballot initiative that would protect abortion rights in Florida — and because of that, they should be stripped of the right to demand them.

Moody is asking the state’s high court to crush an abortion rights initiative that’s already supported by nearly 1 million Floridians (and counting). If it makes the ballot, it’s likely to pass: Most polls show that voters support abortion rights, regardless of party. Without this amendment, the Legislature has already shown it will do everything in its power to destroy those rights.

Voters in six states, including solidly conservative Kentucky and Kansas, have already voted to project abortion rights. At least a dozen other states could vote on abortion this year.

That’s why Florida voters deserve to have their say — and why Florida’s anti-reproductive-rights leaders are so desperate to make sure they don’t.

Here’s what voters will see on the ballot:

No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider. This amendment does not change the Legislature’s constitutional authority to require notification to a parent or guardian before a minor has an abortion.

The DeSantis administration insists that voters won’t understand this amendment so should not be allowed to vote on it.

One million Floridians have already signed a petition to put it on the ballot.

The DeSantis administration is afraid that voters will understand it and pass it.

Will the conservative state Supreme Court of Florida allow the people to decide?

बेदिल / Heartless – Kaushal Kishore

 

उसे बहुत ख़ुशी होती है 

जब लोग कोसते हैं उसे, यह कहते हुए 

कि उसके सीने में दिल नहीं है; 

वह आश्वस्त हो जाता है 

कि कम से कम दिल की 

कोई बीमारी उसे नहीं होगी…

💜💜💜💜💜💜

He feels very happy 

when people curse him, saying 

there’s no heart in his chest; 

he becomes assured 

that at least he won’t suffer 

from any heart disease…
