My town has a celebration every year they call, Cultural Chaos.
This was scheduled before anyone thought to protect and before Donald Trump started trying to oppress anyone for protesting, using the armed forces.
I have never attended Cultural Chaos. The closest I have come to attending was once as they were wrapping up (packing things up). Usually, my schedule and their schedule conflict (I am off doing something else). Or some random thing comes up, and I end up broke, so I really cannot enjoy any food or drink, so I just avoid the whole thing.
This year is no different.

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota shot in their separate homes
Rachel Leingang (The Guardian)William Lindsey
in reply to William Lindsey • • •One of the two Minnesota legislators who was shot by a man pretending to be a policeman, Representative Melissa Hortman, was killed in the targeted shootings that have taken place there, as was her husband. The other legislator, Senator John Hoffman was shot multiple times as was his wife, and has had surgery. Both legislators were Democrats, and Governor Walz states that these shootings were "politically motivated."

The anti-abortion movement was built on the white supremacist premise that women, especially black women, cannot be permitted to have agency or autonomy.
The economy was to be built on voiceless & choiceless women
Impoverished women supposedly have a "biological destiny" to birth the next generation of low wage workers, in service to the rich
