Dear white male politicians - from @realDonaldTrump to @JoeBiden - who dismiss or doubt women’s rage:
My rage is not tired. It is not “pent up.” It is out there in public, on full f*ing display - in the streets, on the ballot, banging on your door, ready to set shit on fire 1/

My rage is despair turned fire and brimstone; Game of Thrones-style wildfire, fueled by the caging of children and the abuse of our bodies and the theft of our fundamental rights
My rage is a predictable chemical reaction to the exploitation, abuse, and neglect that has left millions of women - espec. women of color - abandoned and incarcerated and suppressed and stripped and robbed of our humanity.
My rage is our needs, our wants, our rights, deferred.
My rage is our needs, our wants, our rights, deferred.
Women’s rage is both the calm before the storm and the eye of the hurricane.
If you cannot hear us screaming, it is because you have no ears for us.
If you cannot see our pain, and feel our tears, and taste our fear, it is because you have no senses for us.
If you cannot hear us screaming, it is because you have no ears for us.
If you cannot see our pain, and feel our tears, and taste our fear, it is because you have no senses for us.
My rage is my bleeding heart as it recalls the lessons I’ve been taught to love one another, and to fight for freedom, and truth, and justice, and equality wherever it has been stolen, or abandoned, or destroyed
My rage is my shattered dreams for the campaigns I’ve worked for, the candidates I’ve loved, and the brothers and sisters I’ve been proud to call my colleagues and friends and allies in the fight against the evil that stalks us.
My rage is my solidarity.
My rage is my solidarity.
My rage is my love - deep and fierce and loyal and bottomless - for the women who never tire, never give up, never go home, and never sit down. My rage is my “we are still here”; we will not go quiet while any one of us still rages
My rage is my money, my voice, my vote, my love, my fear, my anger, my courage, my commitment, my will, and my “we will win.” My rage is my shield - it is also my sword
Dear white male politicians who dismiss me, who doubt me:
My rage is real
My rage is wildfire
My rage is toxic
My rage is dragonglass
Stand down or stand back.
My rage will win.
My rage is real
My rage is wildfire
My rage is toxic
My rage is dragonglass
Stand down or stand back.
My rage will win.
