“By giving voice to the cognitive dissonance required to be a woman under the patriarchy, you've robbed it of its power”. Barbie. The movie. Not the doll.

When they came to eat my coworkers face, I said nothing. When they came to eat my neighbors’ and friends’ face, I still said nothing. When they came to eat my family’s face, I wore a red hat to protect my face. Yet the leopard ate my face. So I said to MAGA- Who needs a face anyway.

It has to get insanely bad, then unimaginably worse before MAGA will get gone. JFK as secretary of Health is a good start.

Any American celebrating Gabbard’s DNI confirmation, is ok with it, defends it or is even simply ignorant of it knows not what they have done to America.

F u all calling for protests. Iranian women protested. Nothing changed. Only worse for them. Israels protested after Netanyahu over ruled the law; Nothing happened. Notice how there are no more Russian protests against the Ukraine invasion. When MAGA protests against Trump.Let.Me.Know.

It’s not that a woman can’t win a presidential election. It’s that a woman couldn’t win against Trump. You don’t fight racism and misogyny by giving racist, sexist people a target to direct their hate. You fight it by winning. Mark Kelly could have matched Trump’s energy and won.

Straight white dudes: “I just don’t feel valued, appreciated, seen, and respected. I don’t see a lot of opportunities. And I don’t get to say what I really want to say.” Women, people of color, LGBTQs: “Welcome to the party, bitches.”

Feel deep in my bones that the backlash to all of this is going to be enormous. Not sure how it will manifest and when it will explode into view, but confident it’s coming.

Here’s some hope friends. The backlash will be tsunami sized. Until then. Take care of yourself and your own. No one else will.

“The only way for evil to triumph is….” to ensure good men are taken care of. Every other group can be savaged, But as long as “good men” are taken care of; then even good men will do nothing. It’s only when good men figure out they are equally screwed that they “do something”.
