New data: Women accounted for all the job losses in December, losing 156k jobs, while men gained 16k. Separate survey of households showed that among women, Blacks & Latinas lost jobs in December, while White women made significant gains cnn.com/2021/01/08/eco… h/t @MaazaMengiste
"Black and Latina women disproportionately work in some of the hardest-hit sectors in the pandemic, often in roles that lack paid sick leave and the ability to work from home. As schools and day cares closed, many were forced to make hard trade-offs between work and parenting."
"Those sectors are less likely to have flexibility, so when employers are inflexible or women can't come to work because of caregiving responsibilities — they have to exit the workforce," said C. Nicole Mason, president and CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research.

Woman trampled to death during a riot inside the U.S. Capitol carried a Gadsden "don't tread on me" flag at a protest before the violent siege. She was obsessed with the QAnon conspiracy theory, according to her friends and family. h/t @lesbrains google.com/amp/s/www.raws…
“It's my own personal belief that the president's words incited a riot that killed four of his biggest fans [Wednesday] night, and I believe that we should invoke the 25th Amendment at this time,” Justin Cave, brother-in-law of Rosanne Boyland
“I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking [on top of her],” Justin Winchell said. “There were people stacked 2-3 deep…people just crushed.” cbs46.com/news/friend-of…

Two days after the US Presidential Election, and before Biden was announced the winner, I wrote this:

White supremacist patriarchy is the real winner in America because even if Trump loses, we are still fucked.

Then I said: With Biden in the presidency, white liberals who spent the Trump era crying  “This isn’t my America” (sidenote: WHAT FUCKING AMERICA HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING IN?) will now celebrate “My America is back!” and go on amnesia overdrive.
And those same white liberals are now back to “This isn’t my America” and Biden himself is saying “We are better than this.”

Who is “my” and who is “we?”

When I say Footsoldier of White Supremacist Patriarchy, remember this: who is the first to be shot dead?
The white women who are willing Footsoldiers of White Supremacist Patriarchy: I wrote this in 2019 google.com/amp/s/www.nbcn…
“We the people are pissed off … We flew by a private jet, God wanted us here today. Trump is my president.”
“This is a prelude going to war.” And after: “We just stormed the capital. It was one of the best days of my life.” New York Post tweet: Texas woman flew on private jet to Wash

And of course fascism is virulently and violently patriarchal. It is vicious to anyone who is not a cisgendered, able-bodied, conservative man. feministgiant.com/p/essay-macho-…
