This moment from @KamalaHarris’ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh at his Senate hearing has never left me.
"Can you think of any laws that give the government the power to make decisions about the male body?"
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
