It is no coincidence that after a record breaking number of women won House seats & a presidential primary has seen the highest amount of women running that states are passing laws against reproductive justice. This isn't just about controlling our bodies- it's retaliation. 1/

So yes donate to health centers, volunteer to be an escort. But most importantly RUN FOR OFFICE. Run for the state legislature, run for Congress. Get your law degrees and work you way up through the courts. Or 👏ga👏nize! F*** the Handmaid's Tale memes. They will not help us. 2/

There is only one way out of this. And that is to unseat the masochists voting for these bills and having nothing less than EQUAL REPRESENTATION OF EVERY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT INCLUDING THE JUDICIAL BRANCH. Want to stop hearing stupid shit like "just move an ectopic pregnancy"? 3/

Then we cannot be meek. We cannot continue this farce that we have to change the system from the inside- we have to become the system. History has taught us this. There is no equity in the white, patriarchal world. There is only a boys' club with head and bum pats. 4/

I know this because my 6 year old lives historical trauma. It's in her bones. Once I told her we have to build power. Her response? "No because when the bad people take yours, you're in trouble." They are trying to take it & we cannot relent. Else we sign our daughters away. 5/

And before anyone hits me with the this is just Republicans. No. Nope. Uh huh. Dan Lipinski is just one openly anti choice Democrat. And let's not forget that @dccc is suppressing his primary opponent. So maybe donate to @Marie4Congress. I will be. AGAIN! 6/

I also just donated to @HometownAction. Please support their efforts in Alabama. They are a penomenal organization. Let's help them keep going!
