1/ On @MSNBC Michael Beschloss just told the story of Gandhi sending the Queen a wedding present—a piece of cloth that he spun himself. Gift was downplayed at the time. Beschloss said gift was sign of how Queen made everyone feel special. 😧 #Queen #funeral
2/ I usually love Michael B’s take on everything on @MSNBC. But this is a GROSS oversimplification of that moment. #QueenElizabethII
3/ When the British colonized India they outlawed the spinning of Indian tapestries. Britain’s Indian “subjects” (non-citizens) were only allowed to grow the raw cotton. Then it was exported to Europe, spun in similar style and sold back to Indians at a profit. #queensfuneral

I was invited to tonight’s @potus speech from Independence Hall. Couldn’t attend because I was traveling today. Watching now!

“The threat to American Democracy is real… That’s why tonight I’m calling all Americans to come together to save democracy!” President Joe Biden
“There is no place for political violence in America! None!” @potus
Legislative leaders are warning and calling for violence in the street. We, the people, must reject the politics of violence! - @potus (paraphrase)

1/ I’ve been thinking about the sudden and illogical attack on @BethMooreLPM. #bethmoore
2/ While I have reflected that my relationship with Jesus has moved from boyfriend-ish to brown liberator, Bob reminds where the whole evangelical lovey-dovey image of Jesus comes from. #churchasbrideofchrist #bethmoore
3/ So, why did White Evangelical’s pounce on a reference to crushing on Jesus that any one of us could find at ANY church Women’s conference? And why now? #bethmoore #loveydoveyjesus

For those who say they are tired of hearing about the link between the anti-Abortion movement and white male domination in the US…

For those who cheer the Supreme court ruling on Roe and still claim to be anti-racist and pro-women, the truth Is… 1/ lisasharonharper.substack.com/p/the-death-of…
There are many reasons people join movements. Your anti-Abortion stance may be grounded in your sense of morality.

But morality was not and IS NOT the driver of that movement. It has always been about regaining white male domination.

And here’s the thing… 2/ #RoeVWade
If the impact of well-intentioned people following white supremacists is racial and gender oppression, then those followers are guilty of racial and gender oppression.

Why? They did not require their party to find better way. 3/3

1/ I recently spoke on the intersections of race/gender oppression in US. The very first RACE Law in the nation’s foundational history was passed in VA 1662. It was also the very first GENDER-based law and the first CITIZENSHIP law passed on this soil.
2/ That 1662 law created race-based slavery, by locating citizenship in the womb of the mother. Citizens could not be enslaved. So, if your mother was enslaved, she wasn’t a citizen and you were not a citizen. So, you could be enslaved. Plus, they outlawed interracial marriage.
3/ The 1662 law was in full force for 200+ years until passage of 13th and 14th Amendments, which ended race-based citizenship and outlawed slavery. Interracial marriage wasn’t legalized until the Loving v. Virginia (1967) Supreme Court ruling 305 years after VA’s 1662 race law.
