A Progressive Warrior Queen-Isn't That an Oxymoron?
In case you don't know the story of Boadicea (Boudicca), in a nutshell it goes like this.
Boadicea's tribe, the Iceni, lived peacefully as a client tribe under Roman rule. After her husband's death corrupt Roman officials reneged on the agreement that left the Iceni in peace. When Boadicea, still the leader of her tribe, went to protest this, she was flogged and her daughters were raped before her eyes.
She returned to her tribe and raised a rebellion against the Romans that was short lived, brutal, and ended in her death.
Understand, I'm not looking to raze Colchester, or leave piles of bodies behind me. However, the Radical Right Religionists and the Corporate sponsors of the Chattel Society have declared war on us who are "others".
I say we fight back. Right now, I'm fighting back primarily at Texas Kaos. Please come join me.

The road that brought Nancy Pelosi to the Speaker's chair was paved brick by brick by women-famous and anonymous-throughout American history who would not settle for second class citizenship. I thank them.
TDP-When "Rebuild" Means "Undermine"

At a recent meeting the SDEC wrote off almost all the candidates running in Texas, calling this a "rebuilding year" (again). What exactly are they rebuilding? AG Candidate David Van Os has a few choice words for them. I have a few more questions.
