In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Unconstitutional 

If you get a chance, see Unconstitutional: The War on Our Civil Liberties. This documentary is a reminder of what lengths this administration has gone to suppress civil liberties. It is heartbreaking to listen to immigrants who were unjustly imprisoned for months after 9/11—immigrants who came here because it was supposed to be the "freedom country." And then there are the illegally imprisoned men at Guantanamo Bay. Would you have ever guessed our country would be like this?

At the end of the movie, someone recited Stephen Rodhe's piece "They came for the Muslims and I didn't speak up..." (A rewriting of the original "First They Came for the Jews," by Pastor Martin Niemöller.)
