Mother’s Day can be heavy for many. I always think of it as a call for peace. “The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession.” - Julia Ward Howe, Mother’s Day Proclamation
The original Mother's Day Proclamation was a feminist anti-war appeal by Julia Ward Howe for women to claim their place in public life.
"The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession."

I believe it to be unwise for the Left to disarm when the right wing does not have the inclination to disarm nor does the state have the ability to disarm them, either.
It is very easy for me to live here in the city without need for a gun. If I as still out in North Carolina I'd own a gun.

Happy Mother’s Day…
Mother's Day was originally started in Boston after the Civil War by writer Julia Ward Howe as a protest to the war on behalf of all the mothers who had lost their sons.
In other words, it is not actually one of the important exploitation days of capitalism…
Indeed. The key is balance.
Just enough reality and urgency to alarm but not to disarm (just like a smoke alarm which triggers a response but not zoning out).
Mother's Day originated as Mother's Work Day in 1858 as a protest by Ann Jarvis against against disease and poor sanitation in Appalachian communities and became a day of antiwar protest in 1872 at the initiative of pacifist and suffragist Julia Ward Howe.

how about instead of running from the 8 year old, you disarm them and convince them not to come back at 16 with a gun? why are you assuming the child is only capable of violence?

on Mother's Day, the U.S.' reactionary alternative to International Women's Day, I can't help but think of de Beauvoir on the "American Mom"
When the locus of your parody of a racist belief is not the racism but the silliness of the belief, you do nothing to disarm the bigotry inherent in it.
The only reason Atlantis exists as it does within pop culture is because of this white supremacist belief system.
It's absolutely good to lampoon those racist beliefs, but when you do so by incorporating them without criticizing the actual racism involved, you're just perpetuating the racism.
