Remember that immigrant detention centers are FOR PROFIT prisons that need to be filled in order for the people who own them to make money.
That’s it.
That’s how crude & basic this cruelty is.
It turns out it’s always veep and never house of cards
what if we kissed in the war crime bros signal chat?
we have to find a way to win this because I refuse to accept a world in which the biggest assholes alive get everything they want

Undeterred & determined not to be excluded—the suffragists rented a barge & plopped themselves in the water directly in front of the Statue of Liberty unveiling ceremony shouting “VOTES FOR WOMEN!” from bullhorns on the boat. 🗣
Fun fact:
In 1886 women were BANNED from stepping foot on Liberty Island for the Statue of Liberty unveiling ceremony bc the men in charge were afraid suffragists would protest/ point out women couldn’t vote in the U.S. (or in France where it came from).
As a result, there were zero women present.
Women use SO MUCH intelligence & energy just to survive men.
Enough.
So basically we have (A) a fascist party and (B) a party that doesn't want to make too much of a fuss about the fascist party.
Reminder that I am very professional, smart, damn good at what I do & currently looking for a job 🤓

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

On Friday I was informed via Teams meeting that I was part a large layoff of over 10% of the workforce at the Center for American Progress.
This came with no prior warning.

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) said, "A white woman has only one handicap to overcome -that of sex. I have two - both sex and race. I belong to the only group in the country which has two such huge obstacles to surmount." Like her parents, Mary believed in quality education for Black children. In 1887 after receiving her bachelors and masters deoree before the age of twenty-five Mary moved to Washington.
@katekelly.bsky.social's book "Ordinary Equality" also writes of Mary Church Terrell who fought for racial equality and women's suffrage throughout her life, understanding the intersectionality of race and gender discrimination.
