A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

AI is a colonialist project, which is why many of its leaders are literally trying to colonize Earth & outer space. Hallmarks of colonialism: * getting rich via expropriation (theft as below) * exploitation (cf: participation in AI bros' simulated-rape galas as a condition of career advancement)

America is full of ppl who have to learn every damn thing the hard way: "Instead of learning from the 200+yr struggle to free women from male ownership, I'll try relinquishing my legal & economic autonomy--how bad can it be?" Reinventing feminism from 1st principles, one destroyed life at a time.

The broligarchs are predators & they compete for status with one another by being predatory. Same arrangement as in Epstein's circle, the Cornell rape frat & the Pelicot case. Raping women/girls is the "sacrament" of male supremacy & it bonds men across barriers of race, age, class, religion, etc.

Women ARE the working class & abortion IS a "working people" issue. The only folks who don't see that are men being waited upon by women whose labor (including reproductive labor!) is systematically exploited & devalued. Marx literally wrote about this, but you'd never know it from US leftbros.

Yes. It does not matter if you think the Kennedy Center is bougie: private individuals do not get to destroy public goods. If you budge one iota on this stance, then you lose the right to object when he demands bits of the national parks as a treat. You've already agreed with him on the principle.

In authoritarian states, “law” upholds lawlessness, and its first duty is to keep the leader safe from domestic or outside accountability processes. Judicial capture is the means, and the conversion of the law into what the leader and his enablers need it to be is the end.
