They’re all misogynist shits: Police officer “noted in his report that he saw several bruises on Candice Parscale's arm. She said she suffered those ‘a few days ago during a physical altercation with Bradley, which she did not report,’” nbcnews.com/news/us-news/p…#BradPascale
At the beginning of the Trump years, I started a thread about the misogyny of Trump cabinet members and advisers etc - when they beat a woman, worked to repeal reproductive rights, etc.
It got too long and I stopped.
Those are exactly the people who would work with President Grab Them By the Pussy.
Also - it is not a dealbreaker for voters that a male politician is a misogynist shit because many male voters are often misogynist shits and the women are Footsoldiers of the Patriarchy.
Which is why Trump anointed #AmyConeyBarrett Five-Star General of the Footsoldiers of the Patriarchy. “Conservative Feminism” Queen is here to stick her middle finger up smug white feminism.
Remember: President Grab Them by the Pussy justified the Muslim Ban as a way to protect white women from Muslim men. Trump and the men who surround him are abusive misogynist shits. White women are *their* property. Only *they* can abuse white women google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

In 1977, two years before the Soviet invasion, revolutionary women’s rights activist Meena founded RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) to fight patriarchy at every level in her country. feministgiant.com/p/fist-in-the-…
Shaima, an early member of RAWA, has explained that women in Afghanistan had to be mushti dar dahan, a term in Dari that means "a fist in the mouth," towards the men in their families, and also to society and government–i.e. State, Street, and Home. feministgiant.com/p/fist-in-the-…

White & Christian are considered norm and not dangerous in the U.S. 👇🏽
"GOP Sen Anthony Kern & his prayer team of anti-abortion extremists praying in tongues (that’s not an audio issue) that an 1864 law banning nearly all abortion becomes law again."
It's easy to see the fascists and theocrats when they don't look like you. When they're white and Christian, their danger has not registered enough:
So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia:Iran, that so many white women didn’t pay enough attention to theocracy that white supremacy was building at home theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…
It was being built by white men who look like their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons, not the scary brown men with beards, right?
The same arrogance and naiveté that made so many white Americans think Trump would never become president is same arrogance & naiveté that made so many think "it would never happen here” whether it was destruction of abortion rights:anti-divorce laws feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-ha…
Two months into its genocide in Gaza, the more Israel displays its savagery against Palestinians, the more obvious its moral and philosophical defeat.
Militarily, Israel is armed to the teeth and propped up by the U.S., the world’s most powerful country.
And Israel is losing
The unconscionable vote against ceasefire at the UN yesterday by U.S. & abstention by the UK are reminders that while some western political powers might still be propping up Israel’s crimes,around the world more & more people vehemently oppose the genocide.
Israel is losing
Israel’s crimes are repeatedly being equated w/some of worst genocidal crimes: from ethnic cleansing and genocide in Srebrenica to the cultural genocide of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.
It has come at a staggeringly high Palestinian death toll—at least 20,000.
When the NYT is reporting it like this, something is changing
"People are being killed in Gaza more quickly, they say, than in even the deadliest moments of U.S.-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups."
"It is not just the scale of the strikes...Israel’s liberal use of very large weapons in dense urban areas, including U.S.-made 2,000-pound bombs that can flatten an apartment tower, is surprising, some experts say."
