Protests with chanting and revolutionary speeches are necessary now to raise class consciousness and bring people toward organization.
Some think the people should escalate now, but the present state of disorganization would put them at risk. There are no shortcuts to revolution

it hurts no one to name both these truths — constraints on abortion overwhelmingly do, and are designed to, impact & endanger women; and also, that many other people & experiences rely on abortion access and thus are captured by the immeasurable harms that these policies create.

it feels absurd to me that we are stuck in this dead-end idiotic discourse about whether or not abortion is a “women’s issue” when the answer is simply “yes, but not exclusively”

ladies! men! theys! IT IS OKAY IF YOU NEED TO HAVE AN EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TO HAVE SEX. it is okay if you don't feel comfortable sexually until you trust someone. it is okay to abstain from having sex until you find someone you feel good with. you are valid.

Today marks the end of what is surely one of the worst terms in #SCOTUS history. Guns and prayer and abortion got most of the attention. But that's not all the Court did. Here are just some of the Court's bad decisions:

When the Supreme Court eviscerated abortion rights, people in cities across the U.S. mobilized rapid-response demonstrations to voice their outrage, and demand federal action to ensure abortion access in all 50 states.

Take note of who is spending their time, work, & using propaganda to win back/retain universal abortion access…and who is spending their time attacking social justice organizations, collectives, individuals. The latter are doing the work of the police, the right-wing, the state.

i’m so tired of abortion rights being framed around truly tragic circumstances like assault and incest. if you get pregnant & you don’t want to be pregnant, it is your right over your own body that is under siege. no one, including a fetus, can use your body against your consent.

In cities big and small, tens of thousands of people took to the streets immediately after the Supreme Court’s decision to take away the right to #abortion.
Nine unelected judges won’t decide our fate. Stay in the streets!

I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are - that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that.

Are you thinking of how many women you personally know whose lives have been saved by Roe v. Wade? I am one of them. I had to get an abortion at 6 months pregnant in 2014 to save my life.
See you on the streets.

Brett Kavanaugh literally raped a woman and now he has control over what every single cis woman in this country can do with their body.

Never forget that abortion rights were overturned during a democratic presidency, a democratic house and a democratic senate.

the only reason we won federal protections for abortion rights was because of the massive, militant feminist struggle that fought and won. we need to continue that legacy. we need a new system that won’t make our basic rights a political toy.

democrats are about to cry to all of us about how horrible this is & how we need to “vote” but don’t let them make u forget that they’ve had multiple administrations in power who could’ve codified abortion rights. theyll always have access to safe abortions - working people wont.

About a year & half ago I wrote a song about the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively & literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness & independence. Her curiosity & fear all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness & the world’s betrayal of it.
