I am aware of the Supreme Court’s not always wonderful record.

But know this: the conservatives have worked since the early 1970s - for almost FIFTY YEARS - to get a majority on the Supreme Court.

They will seize this moment with power-hungry relish.

Everyone who is not a white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender, Christian, wealthy man is FUCKED!

Fight in all the ways you can.

I am an anarchist feminist and my approach to the state, the law, etc might not be yours.

But understand this: we all have to fight in all the ways we can. At every level that we can.

No one will save us. We must save ourselves. #RBG #SCOTUS

And when I say #SCOTUS has a not so wonderful record, you don’t need to go back decades. In 2018 I wrote this about the Supreme Court green lighting Trump’s Muslim van. We must save ourselves. So fight. At every level you can:

If you are a cis woman and are just now panicking about the Supreme Court: understand what a privilege that is.

There are Black women, women of colour and poor women for whom abortion has been outlawed and impossible for years already.
