In the South before the Civil War, white women couldn’t vote. They couldn’t hold office. When they married, their property technically belonged to their husbands.

But, there was one thing they could do. They could buy, sell, & own enslaved people. buff.ly/30mubFC
This is for others to understand when you use things like the handmaid tale and talk about Gilead something fictional that removes our existence in the story it's so offensive. Because y'all participated in forcing us to give birth as your exchange of currency.
participating in the control of the bodies of others but demanding to have rights like your husbands?!! Just think about that. That's why you can't just say all women. We are not all seen as fully human and have the right to even move freely across this country right now.
This includes not just all of those "Karen" videos you've seen but literally, sundown towns still exist. With signs, sirens, and "dinner bells" here's my thread on this.
Knowing that calling the police can re-enslave us or get us killed. And yet.
While Christian nationalists are screaming that this is about moral reasons that's what they said about slavery. They used the same bible to justify it. And they are willing to strip the rights of anyone that tries to protect our rights and not blink. Insert the WW at #j6 here.
And this is why that Disinfo campaign about “grooming” pointing at others as deviants while justifying the rape and impregnation of a 10 year old is a key to their intent of ownership by the state.
This story someone I would call a friend wrote in 2016.

"But given the significant number of white women who supported Trump, it is legitimate to at least question their motives—especially the thinking of those who are college-educated and middle-class."

So many of you are angry about the name "Karen" but we always had a name for you. It's centuries old and every once in a while we changed it up. You know, our AAVE style shifts throughout generations. These were the names we gave to indicate who could put us in danger.
it's the fact that we have one that bothers so many. You didn't know that we knew who you were and had a list? Cause the only danger we had to worry about were the men right?!! that our safety concerns didn't include you?! That's false!
We've treated you like loaded guns just like men. That's why "all" anything falls flat. You are loaded until you prove you aren't in this fight right now. So while you fight for your right for bodily autonomy we are watching if you are actually ONLY fighting for YOUR rights.
If you don't get the loaded gun analogy scroll up. Read and press play on the video.

I was at a retreat and someone asked me a random question: How can I do the work that I do and not just burn out? I couldn't answer it initially because I had to process what I actually do.

I run over 100 different scenarios in my mind during interactions and wait.
Depending on which way they respond...... Oh, that's scenario 121. Deploy response..... and go from there. So many of you want to claim to be individuals but most of you respond the exact same way when my body shows up. You have no idea how knee-jerk you are in your responses.
BTW that's both online and off. Y'all have no idea how many of you get away with so much unchecked. And shocked when it happens. BW they can't get away with anything, not a vape cartridge or any moment creating outside of the lines or "rules". Yet, we walk out that door anyway.
And some of you are angry about our joy, confidence, and the fact that we don't shrink.

That's when you try to find a way to crush it. Cause HOW DARE WE!!

Scenario 1,00,999.45

Going to say this until some of you get it. What America did after 1808 was homegrown. They were increasing their economic values by the increase of Black bodies. Forced births, rapes, and abortion laws. They stopped importing other countries continued. That's chattel slavery.
No from of indentured servitude compares. NONE, those are false equivalences. And from there other laws were written about where we could go, live, vote, and eventually how we got paid. Which lead to tip wage laws in existence RIGHT NOW. none of these laws were written for WP.
Again on the tip wages and why other countries think it's weird, we have it. That we can't seem to pay people a livable wage. That other Americans are chipping in on corporate profits. THINK!!! Why are these companies paying the least amount of taxes too? cbsnews.com/news/tipping-j…

Layme no disrespect but WW weren't enslaved on this land. The women that were are Black and had everything to do with their skin color. And it was in place by law and practice til this day written into the 13th amendment. The founding fathers named our value.
And in the Dobbs opinion only ONE set of fetuses are named. And they are Black. No other fetuses were named. Please don't whitewash this. It's offensive. Take a look at our infographic. We can work together as long as you are willing, to tell the truth.
You can find the details here on our site. stoponlinevaw.com/justice-alitos…

This why I’m annoyed with so many of you!! Your choices aren’t random!! Public degradation is the goal. That’s what it means!!
You know what else hasn't changed yet? BW being called unwell, mentally ill, need to see someone, & need help for being angry or defending themselves. Y'all ready to do that yet?!! Cause my mentions are also filled with those.
So many of you make demands you can't grant but literally overlook the exact same things used against others yet keep it pushing. How many of you weaponized BW's anger in this exact way?!! or weaponized your identity against BW as if we don't also belong to your group?!!!

I tried to explain this connection. Calling us drug dealers or smugglers is a go-to to cause us harm that others will sign off on and allow the harm. It happened domestically with Breanna and Internationally used as a pawn in a war internationally with Brittney.
Criminal, thief, druggies are used on BW just like BM. That part is consistent. What's inconsistent is the support BW get even from BM when.... I won't say it. Think about all the harmful stuff said about Sha'carri while the Olympics gave others a pass.
Some of you keep saying follow the rules but the rules & laws are applied differently. Even Serena was tested over & over unlike other athletes because they were looking for some way to take her out of the game. Novak told Naomi to follow the rules while he literally refused to.

ugh. Blackburn is closing. #ConfirmJudgeJackson
She went back to abortion. I have nothing else to say. #KetanjiBrownJackson #ConfirmJudgeJackson
and now back to trying to make a weird distinction between child assaulters vs those that view images. This falls under that umbrella "save the children" conspiracy theory. #KetanjiBrownJackson #ConfirmJudgeJackson

Cruz is trying to do a hypothetical about being an Asian man. It's so absurd. #KentanjiBrownJackson #ConfirmJudgeJackson
now we are back to child porn. #KentanjiBrownJackson, not sexual assault. Porn.
Cruz is making ish up again. He keeps saying she won't answer but he keeps her from answering outside of tell me why you disagree with the guidelines. The number of images is not an aggravating reason to apply a different enhancement. #KentanjiBrownJackson #ConfirmJudgeJackson
