Florida residents will get the chance to vote on a ballot measure to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, the Florida state supreme court ruled on Monday, teeing up a dramatic electoral showdown over abortion access in a state that has become a haven for women fleeing southern abortion bans.

The decision is a victory for abortion rights activists – but one that was significantly tempered by a second decision also issued on Monday, in which the state supreme court ruled to uphold Florida’s 15-week abortion ban. That decision paves the way for a separate six-week abortion ban – passed in 2023 but on hold pending the outcome of the case over the 15-week ban – to take effect.

The six-week ban will take effect in 30 days.

Dos bilhetes – 1 – O Outro Lado

– lunna guedes –

Escrevo-te nessa hora última. Explodiu um trovão ao longe e eu sorri para todos os ontens que trago na memória.
as nuvens foram se avolumando. O dia acabou pouco antes das três. A chuva caiu sonora, lavando o asfalto da Alameda, quando eu ainda estava a escolher uma lembrança para degustar – como num jogo onde se move uma peça.

Escutei dentro…o badalar do sino da Catedral – um eco dos dias vividos em pequenas aldeias.
As mulheres rezavam as seis em ponto… e as contas do rosário passeavam entre os dedos enrugados das mãos.

eu silenciava a minha voz e pensava na jogada seguinte, qual peça moveria: o bispo ou apenas um dos peões.

Por dentro, repetia versos malditos riscados na parede do meu corpo e me sentia feliz por pensar no inferno de Dante.

Inteligência feminina – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

A fala de uma mulher só é ouvida e aceita por um homem, se estiver acompanhada de algum detalhe em seu corpo que denote ” sensualidade” . Pois,  do contrário, a regra é clara ou seja, a mulher é invisível dentro de sua própria condição. É como se nós, não fôssemos inteligentes e não tivéssemos capacidade para criar algo/alguma coisa. Muitas mudanças acontecem cultural e socialmente falando. Porém, a mulher ainda é vista por essa via de enxergá- lá pelo nu.

Viralizar – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Nem tudo na vida se trata de ” viralizar”. Se você faz um trabalho sério contra a violência, e a sua maior prioridade é alcançar números, é isso? Penso que você deveria abraçar qualquer outra coisa para trabalhar. Afinal, quantos profissionais não deixaram um belo legado, sem ter viralizado? Muitos, e nas mais diversas áreas. O problema é fazer algo que prenda a atenção das pessoas? Ok! Mas o que pode ser mais impactante que a dor do outro? Não tem como colocar ” adereços ”  em cima de ” sofrimento e mortes”. Quer algo impactante, participe de uma palestra, conheça os números da violência e o que ela causa nas famílias, assim como, queira saber também como fica o emocional de seus órfãos. Torno a repetir: nem tudo se trata de ” viralizar”  nas redes sociais ou ” agradar ” o gosto eclético de milhões de pessoas. Mas, deixar lembranças de um trabalho sério em prol de uma causa tão sensível como é a violência contra a mulher, e fazer disso, sim ” uma bela lembrança as muitas gerações.

Enough Already!!! | Filosofa’s Word

What I want to share with you today is a post by Joyce Vance from Saturday.  I’ve had a welcome break for a day or two from writing about Donald Trump, but we all knew it couldn’t last forever.  So what’s the latest?  Threats, thinly-veiled threats against a judge, the judge’s daughter, and against the President of the United States.  And what are the courts doing to harness the person behind the threats?  So far, not much.  Neither is the media.  It’s time to put a stop to the madness before someone is killed. Remember January 6th 2021?  Read on to see what Ms. Vance says …


WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS

By Joyce Vance

30 March 2024

Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior. It’s not just a shrug of the shoulders and a resigned sigh of, “What are you going to do?” Far too often, people resignedly accept Trump’s behavior because they believe there’s no alternative. The zeitgeist is: We can’t make him stop, can we?

Here’s Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s a video, and although I hate to send you to Truth Social, you can watch the whole thing here. Or read on for my description. What you need to know is that this is unprecedented and out of bounds. If you or I did this, the Secret Service would be on our doorstep within hours.

Donald Trump, by the way, is out on bond ahead of trial in four separate criminal cases. Today, he threatened the President of the United States. It’s time for the people with authority to do so to deal with him. Sure, he’s the Republican Party’s presidential candidate, but they won’t reign him in. And someone is going to get hurt if he isn’t.

What is this? It’s a video that Trump posted on his Truth Social account today, around 12:38 p.m. The subject of the clip is two trucks in full “Trump 2024” regalia, driving down the highway. The second one has a full-size, full-color image across the back gate of Joe Biden, unconscious, arms and legs bound as though he’s been kidnapped and left in the back of the pickup truck. As the truck drives off the camera zooms in on the image, just to make sure there’s no missing it.

Trump supporters have claimed on social media that this was part of Trump’s drive to the wake for a slain police officer on Long Island today and that he probably didn’t even notice the photo of Joe Biden. They’re out on social media saying it’s not a threat. I won’t dignify any of that with a response.

I know from experience as a prosecutor how seriously the Secret Service takes every single threat, or anything close to a threat, made against the President of the United States. They take it seriously even when it looks like the person making it lacks any capacity to carry it out. They always check. They always have the talk.

Donald Trump is different from the person who makes a bad joke or an evil suggestion they don’t have the power to follow through on. We know, and more importantly, he knows, how his followers react when he suggests violence. It’s unthinkable, unconscionable for a former president to even intimate that violence against the current president is acceptable. I cannot imagine George W. Bush even joking about something like this when Barack Obama was in the White House, or Obama suggesting Trump should be kidnapped and trussed up in the back of a truck.

जिंदगी / Life  – Kaushal Kishore

 

जिंदगी बहुत खूबसूरत है, 

इसे सोचा नहीं, जिया जाता है…

जो जीता है इसे जिंदगी की तरह, 

वही इसकी खूबसूरती को समझ पाता है…

🧬 🧬 🧬 🧬 🧬 🧬

Life’s a canvas, beautiful and bright,

Not to ponder, but to live in its light…

Only those who embrace its every hue,

Can truly grasp its beauty, pure and true…
