If the women’s march had done anything we wouldn’t have had to get to the point where four women are sacrificing their entire lives to stop a dude named Brett from fucking up civil rights for the next 40 years.

I need you all to understand this. If Kavanaugh’s confirmation is in jeopardy, and I’m not sure it is, it is so only because of the sacrifice of FOUR people.

The activism and stuff has been important and necessary but these are the same people stripping Healthcare and building baby jails and none of the activism has stopped that, and it won’t stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

People have to throw their entire goddamn bodies into the machinery to stop it. You can’t just gather around the machine and say “I don’t like you, machine!” all while maintaining it’s parts.

Replying to @EmilyGorcenski
We would need a radical movement that actually respects martyrdom before that happens. If anyone risked or sacrificed their lives in the current climate, they'd be completely forgotten or outright demonized and ridiculed.
