Urgent call to...troll Lauren Boebert

Coyotes are not universally admired. They more than wolves live on the fringes of heavily populated areas. Coyotes are viewed with hostility by sheep ranchers and city people with indoor out door cats. Pictures to present them as they are matter.


This photo comes from a gifted wildlife photographer who lives somewhere in #CO03, the district served by #LaurenBoebert, or as RantWoman sometimes refers to her #LandslideLauren or #NotoriousGED.


The former hashtag refers to Rep. Boebert's whisper thin re-election victory in the 2022 midterms. The latter is, RantWoman hopes, a kinder and slightly more respectful hashtag than others used to characterize Ms. Boebert's educational background and desperate need for a commitment to lifelong learning.


Every time Rep. Boebert goes one a particularly homophobic rants, this constituent posts to Twitter a list of topical resources and utters a prayer that if, heaven forbid, one of Rep. Boebert's sons turns out to be gay or learns that a good friend is gay, the resources are there.


Next, RantWoman offers the Text of Quaker Call asking Friends, as RantWoman understands it, how they are called to uphold our democracy


RantWoman's standard of trolling:


--There are some hashtags RantWoman will not touch even if she agrees with the rest of a tweet.


--RantWoman strives to be respectful about family and children who might or might not want to serve as posterkids for the gun rights lobby.


--RantWoman gets  REALLY tired both of classism and reflexive hostility to religion.


Will any of this  matter?
