    As always, perfectly said, cuts right through all the bullshit. 🖤🖤🖤

    I am ending the day with these two events from today my mind, connected and heavy: - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was brought to lie in state at the Supreme Court. Her casket was met by 120 people who clerked for her. Only one during her 27 years at SCOTUS was Black.

    This breaks down some of her record on race and criminal justice issues.

    For feminist analysis, for global feminist coverage, and for insisting that you recognize how patriarchy and its oppressions work.

    This is extremely disturbing to say the least. Again the anti-trans activists are attempting to compromising the rights of all women and girls in their crusade.

    Intersectional feminism is uncomfortable. If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not asking the right questions.

    This too is feminism. To ask those questions and to demand answers that insist that we see that a Supreme Court justice who is celebrated as a champion of gender equality was not one for racial equality. Answers that you recognize that Black women’s lives are not important.

    I felt extra conscious of multiple truths today. This thread gives you a poignant example. ⤵️

    “Accounting the hiring of all racial minorities since 2005 — including Asian Americans, Native Americans and Latinos — only 12% of Ginsburg clerks were nonwhite. That ranks her much closer to the conservative justices than the progressives...”

    From the highest court in the US to a court in Kentucky: who is justice for? Who determines what is just? What power does justice uphold? Who can stick a middle finger up to justice? Can justice survive the tentacles of the octopus I call patriarchy?

    These events say so much about whose lives are celebrated, whose lives matter, who is remembered, who is given an opportunity, whose oppressions are noted, whose success despite oppression is lauded, and who is considered important. America is fucked up in so many ways.

    Today, I gave a video and recorded statement to a police department. That statement was me finally bringing my rapist’s name to justice. Before this: I said I’m coming for him He will pay by the law or pay in the public spotlight. And that’s how

    The indictments were for shooting into white neighbor's apartments, but none for the shots into the black neighbor's apartment. It was a very deliberate statement that only white lives matter in Kentucky.

    - A grand jury in Kentucky did not charge any of the police officers who murdered Breonna Taylor. Instead, it indicted a single police officer for shooting into neighboring apartments, not for shooting at the Black woman who was sleeping in her bed in her home.

    How many rapists must we kill?

    How many rapists must we kill? Disturbing question? I stand in the disturbance and discomfort of my question because women, girls, nonbinary and queer people face more than disturbance and discomfort -- they are dying, and patriarchy shows little concern.

    tw: rape This thread - and whenever I read about rape globally - is why I ask “How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping us?” I don’t mean the death penalty - I mean what it will take until men are too sacred to rape. h/t

    On Sep 9, 2020 a woman, travelling on motorway, was robbed and raped in front of her two kids in Pakistan. It shook the whole nation. Protests were arranged and officials jumped in front of the cameras to make promises. Not again, they said.
