See what happens when patriarchy tries to convince you that feminism is about supporting a woman simply because she’s a woman/preferably a mother. Utter fucking nonsense. This is nonsense 👇🏽
#AmyConeyBarrett is a mediocre judge who was elevated because she’s a white mother of school-aged children who will do white supremacist patriarchy’s bidding in a country that hates mothers and their school-aged children who are not white feministgiant.substack.com/p/essay-the-ju…
How hypocritical that in the middle of a pandemic, the administration that’s done so little for mothers of school-aged children, esp Black & women of colour, who are being pumelled by triple work loads, demands that we celebrate a privileged white mother of school-aged children.
How cruel - the ultimate adjective of the Trump era - that the administration that insists we celebrate that Barrett is a mother of school-aged children is the same admin that has ripped apart migrant mothers from their school-aged children in concentration camps at the border.
"A video posted from the northern #Polish city of Szczecinek showed young women surrounding a priest and yelling at him to “Go back to the church” and to “Fuck off.”"
“If I wanted politics in my vagina, I’d fuck a senator.”
Protestors against new abortion restrictions have been chanting “Fuck off” and telling the right-wing government to fuck off. And the signs are profane too #Poland
Protests against new abortion restrictions in #Poland are a reminder of the political importance of profanity.

I moved to the U.S. in 2000. I’ve learned that many white Americans have a delusional amount of confidence in govt & its institutions. They’re childishly naive in believing that institutions will save them from state power, which they think will work for rather than hurt them.
That stubborn belief in U.S. exceptionalism undergirds the refusal to see the fascism that Trump brought. Black, Indigenuous, and people of colour have no such delusions. They do not expect institutions to protect them because they are so often hurt by those institutions.
