Most black folks in America consider Atlanta to be the place to be because of its level of hippness, culture, and educational and job opportunities. Most connected and upwardly mobile black folks would rather send their children to Spelman and Morehouse than to Harvard and Yale. Atlanta bills itself as "the city too busy to hate", and if you visit The A you will see why.
Atlanta has a problem, though, it is located in the state of Georgia. And while they might be too busy to hate in the city of Martin Luther King, their neighbors in the state of Georgia do not have the best record when it comes to tolerance and being progressive on issues.
The latest stain on the state's legacy comes courtesy of a bunch of old white men who want to create a type of Handmaid's Tale dystopian society. They have decided that a woman's body should be controlled by the state, and if she tries to take control of it, it's punishable by imprisonment.
Georgia's draconian anti-choice law punishes women for trying to take control of their bodies six weeks after their last menstrual period ("Before many women even realize that they are pregnant.") It also criminalizes doctors and other professionals who might help to induce abortions.
It gets worse. If the woman goes to another sate where these laws do not apply, it could apply to her because she is a resident of the state.
If some of these fanatics have their way we will soon find ourselves going back to the days of coat hangers and back room abortions. These right-wingnuts are emboldened because Mr. grab em by the pussy has stacked the courts with conservative Justices who have a very negative view of the female body.
Now, predictably, the backlash has begun And for that I am thankful. Movie production companies are threatening to pull out of the state.
"Georgia has been the location for the filming of multiple television shows and blockbuster films, including one of Such films and the production of wildly popular TV series including "The Walking Dead" and "Stranger Things" have resulted in an estimated $2.7 billion pouring into the Southern state from direct spending via 455 productions, the governor's office announced last year.
Filmmakers J.J. Abrams and Jordan Peele released a joint statement Friday stating they'd stand "shoulder to shoulder with the women of Georgia" as their new show "Lovecraft Country" begins shooting in the state. They promised to donate 100% of their episodic fees to the ACLU of Georgia and Fair Fight Georgia, an election reform organization.
"Governor Kemp's 'Fetal Heartbeat' Abortion Law is an unconstitutional effort to further restrict women and their health providers from making private medical decisions on their terms. Make no mistake, this is an attack aimed squarely and purposely at women," the joint statement read. "We encourage those who are able to funnel any and all resources to these organizations."
On Thursday, Vachon, whose company has been behind such films as "Carol" and "Vox Lux," made her stand known on Twitter.
'Killer Films will no longer consider Georgia as a viable shooting location until this ridiculous law is overturned,' she said. '''
Good for these companies. Maybe if Georgia feels the monetary pressure that comes with a boycott they will come to their senses.
Alyssa Milano called for a sex strike against men, but that might be a step too far. I mean why punish all of us men for the acts of a bunch of zealots? Plus, women like sex as well. This type of protest assumes that only men enjoy sex.
Still, I dig her passion. And this is the kind of passion that will be needed to vote out the people who are making these types of laws and taking our country back to some very dark days.

Which is why Chelsea Beller and Brittney Watts were shot to death there by black perps, and perp Nkosi Thandiwe paralyzed Lauren Garcia for life and shot Tiffany Ferenczy who he had never even met.
If it wasn't hate, what was it?

Atlanta has a problem: it's full of naggers. Naggers like the ones in the next state south:
https://www.wbrc.com/2019/05/12/man-gunned-down-outside-trump-resort-miami/
"May 12, 2019 at 5:35 PM CDT - Updated May 12 at 5:41 PM
(CNN) - A man died and a woman was injured in a shootout near a Trump resort in the Miami area Sunday.
According to witnesses, the shooting began when two groups of rival rappers started arguing outside the Trump International Beach Resort in Sunny Isles Beach.
Someone who knows the man who was killed said he was not involved in the shootout but got caught in the crossfire.
A 19-year-old woman was taken to a hospital in unknown condition.
According to witnesses, she is the girlfriend of rapper NBA YoungBoy."
It's possible (even likely) that the GF of NBA Youngboy was a coalburner rather than black herself, but what are the chances that the shooters were not black? Roughly zero. Who wants to place a bet on that?
Naggers need to stop hating and stop shooting, and STFU until they do.
Why are right wingers so afraid of women?
The first written mention of abortion is from 1550 BC, and almost no-one besides the Catholics, not even evangelical Christians, gave a rat's ass about it until the right turned it into a campaign "wedge issue" and started lying their asses off about it in order to scare idiots into voting for them.
If the goddamn Republicans don't want a massive backlash from women like the one that kicked their asses last year, maybe trying to turn the country into "The Handmaid's Tale" isn't the best way to avoid one.
There was a group of women who came together in Chicago before the Roe decision who called themselves the Jane collective and they developed resources for women who needed abortions, and upon the realization that the abortionists they were referring women to weren't licensed doctors, they demanded to be trained by them themselves so they could perform the procedure for women who needed it without charging them $500 to $1,000 for it. They set the price at $100 because they figured that if they averaged $50 they could break even and continue to provide the service to the women who needed it and treat them with the dignity and respect they almost never got from the male abortionists.
They disbanded after the Roe decision because of the legal jeopardy they were in from operating without medical licenses and the fact that safe, legal, abortions were available elsewhere then.
People who know about them, and a few of the participants are now looking to their story for ways to go forward in this newly insanely restrictive legal climate.
Abortions will never go away. All restrictions will ever do is make poor women miserable and fuck up their lives, all for a bullshit campaign issue.
And as always, the men who caused the unintended pregnancies face no consequences whatsoever. If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament, clinics would be as common as Starbucks, and abortion pills would come in 32 flavors from vending machines in supermarkets.

“Alyssa Milano called for a sex strike against men, but that might be a step too far. I mean why punish all of us men for the acts of a a bunch of zealots? Plus, women like sex as well. This type of protest assumes that only men enjoy sex.”
It also assumes that these anti-abortion laws are simply a misogynistic male assault on women. While that is the feminist narrative, the reality is more complicated.
In actual fact, female wingnut voters are significantly more likely to hold anti-abortion views than wingnut male voters. Understanding of this situation is clouded by the optics of male politicians being the ones who are seen to be passing these laws, because GOP politicians are very much NOT a diverse crowd — they’re overwhelmingly white and male.
However, the fact that the anti-abortion legislators are largely male doesn’t make this a male initiative, in my view. There is a large demand for these laws by Christian fundie women, who, insanely, seem desperate for the government to take their rights away.
The Religious Right in this country are a real trip.
Didn't a sex strike work before? I think there was a movie about that.
"...seem desperate for the government to take their rights away."
They're actually desperate to take the rights of poor, brown, sinful women away. The fact that they or their daughters might be harmed by these laws goes down the same memory hole as the fact that the food they eat depends on the brown people (who they believe themselves to have a special dispensation from Jesus to hate) for its production.
So now the right wing brain wizards who donated $22 million to privately fund the construction of a border wall are wondering when the groundbreaking ceremony will be, because "it's been five months already"...
-Doug in Oakland
“Didn't a sex strike work before? I think there was a movie about that.”
The Spike Lee movie? It’s loosely inspired by the ancient Greek comedic play Lysistrata. So another fictional sex strike.
Actual historical sex strikes don’t seem to have a great overall track record for success.
“So now the right wing brain wizards who donated $22 million to privately fund the construction of a border wall are wondering when the groundbreaking ceremony will be, because ‘it's been five months already’...”
Is the grifter who created the Wall GoFundMe in jail yet? Or is he on a beach in Rio enjoying the $22 million he hustled out of the rubes?
"Or is he on a beach in Rio enjoying the $22 million he hustled out of the rubes?"
Isn't Rio a little bit too brown for his tastes? Oh, wait, they just elected their own Fergus clone, he may be all over that shit.

“Isn't Rio a little bit too brown for his tastes? Oh, wait, they just elected their own Fergus clone, he may be all over that shit.”
Yeah, Bolsonaro is pretty fascistic. Nothing horrible he does would really surprise me. He thinks the era of Brazil’s military dictatorship, which disappeared and tortured dissidents, was the good old days.
He was elected to fix corruption in Brazil (or as Trump would say, to “drain the swamp). Instead, he will end up “fixing” people who are poor and brown. Some of whom voted for Bolsonaro — which makes about as much sense as America’s wingnut women voting to have their abortion rights taken away.

-------------------------------
One of the additional motives behind this crusade is is related to the fact that the white birthrate has dropped slightly below the replacement rate. The trend has been going this direction for quite some time and the good old boys who control much of the south as well as other areas in the country have begun to panic. If they are not stopped now, look for the campaign against birth control to escalate dramatically. Some right-wing evangelicals have already called for revoking the 19th Amendment which guarantees women's right to vote.
“Some right-wing evangelicals have already called for revoking the 19th Amendment which guarantees women's right to vote.”
Various wingnuts have also explicitly called for repeal of Amendments 14, 16, and 17. I only wish I were making this up.
"If they are not stopped now, look for the campaign against birth control to escalate dramatically."
The proposed law in Alabama makes several commonly used forms of birth control a crime.
I know a woman who lives in Huntsville, and she says that if the law passes, she'll leave the state before it goes into effect.

No. This is heteronormative slacktivist garbage borne of patriarchy and it literally does nothing to help pregnant people in Georgia.

All these new anti abortion assaults on the constitution are done knowing there is likely a dependable ideological Spotus waiting ion the wings to overturn Roe, which would be the death knell for stoopid fucking wingnuts as a party of animals.

At six weeks a fetus has a pulse but looks like quarter-inch-high entrails. The law wouldn't pass the Constitutionality test so amounts to no more than political grandstanding for the Bible-thumpers. And may ruin a few women's lives before it's squashed.

Nope, it's the REACTIONS to these heinous crimes that has the lamestream media up in arms furiously repeating White Man Bad.
It isn't working very well now. Shortly it won't work at all.
In 2013, then-Vice President Biden and his son Hunter flew together to China on Air Force Two - and two weeks later, Hunter's firm inked a private equity deal for $1 billion with a subsidiary of the Chinese government's Bank of China, which expanded to $1.5 billion.
"If it sounds shocking that a vice president would shape US-China policy as his son — who has scant experience in private equity — clinched a coveted billion-dollar deal with an arm of the Chinese government, that’s because it is" -Peter Schweizer
Perhaps this is why Joe Biden - now on the 2020 campaign trail - said last week that China wasn't a threat.

Authored by Sinclair (((Lewis))). Every. Single. Time.
Ten years after an America that was fed up with the misbehavior of immigrants essentially cut off immigration until 1965, Lewis had no sympathy or gratitude to the Americans who made a nice country to live in, and graciously allowed him to live in it. He repaid them with hate, contempt and subversion.

@anon9:04
Charming. Joseph Goebbels would be so proud. Maybe you should also follow in his footsteps and eat some cyanide.
Not that it matters, but I don’t think Sinclair Lewis was Jewish.
Joseph Goebbels use of the "Big Lie" expression is often (((falsely))) quoted as advocating propaganda, when in fact it was describing the use of propaganda among Germany's enemies:
"“The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous”
This was an expansion on Hitler's first elucidation of the concept that the "big lie" was a propaganda technique typically used by Jewish Marxists:
But it remained for the Jews, with their unqualified capacity for falsehood, and their fighting comrades, the Marxists, to impute responsibility for the downfall precisely to the man who alone had shown a superhuman will and energy in his effort to prevent the catastrophe which he had foreseen and to save the nation from that hour of complete overthrow and shame. By placing responsibility for the loss of the world war on the shoulders of Ludendorff they took away the weapon of moral right from the only adversary dangerous enough to be likely to succeed in bringing the betrayers of the Fatherland to Justice.
All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.

"The blurb from the 1930s dystopian novel It Can’t Happen Here, about a fictional American dictator who manipulates his way into power, reads like it was meant to describe T-Rump, his dopey followers, and a complacent mainstream media in 2016."
Wow this is just like a fictional account about the rise of fascism in America from 80 years ago he said to no one in particular about the rude, ineffective guy overseeing a society full of child transsexuality, demographic collapse and rule by oligarchical corporate interests.
Also charming.
I bet you sleep with Mein Kampf under your pillow and masturbate to it when no one’s looking.
Your buddy Trump is, likewise, a Hitler fan. But hey, nobody should call him a fascist. That’s mean.
