Just shared this whole thread from @equalityAlec - please read, cannot emphasize this enough.
I’ve known & been victimized by bigoted, racist conservatives & neoliberals (esp wealthy ones) posing as progressives who seek to harm & disenfranchise vulnerable marginalized people.
THREAD. A pervasive tactic among right-wing, wealthy interests is posing as "progressive" in order to normalize what would otherwise be seen as ludicrous arguments.
If you struggled through an injustice and want others to struggle through that same injustice simply because you did and “turned out okay”…you did not, in fact, turn out okay.

every wheelchair user i know grew up in schools where when there were active shooter drills/situations we had to just sit in the corner w our backs turned and wait. the plans they have for able bodied people don’t work. there’s no plan for my people at all, just crossed fingers.
congratulations America, I didn’t think you could outdo yourself but “cops threatening to stun gun Latino parents as their little kids were murdered” is a new zenith in Bipartisan National Death Drive
Aurora is only 42lbs and scared in shelter. Her tail is tucked in, can you plz share her so someone will save her life. She needs out by Friday. At sorry SEACCA #socal. Hurry. #gsdlover#dogs#saveme
A huge misconception about cops in schools is that they keep kids safe. They don’t. They punish them. When schools in Illinois were forbidden from giving kids fines, cops started writing tickets. Now kids as young as 8 are in court fighting tickets when they should be at school.
CNN's Alisyn Camerota just asked a Texas state representative "why does your legislature work so quickly to protect embryos but not for living, breathing 10-year-olds?"

In the US, “child protection” means taking children away from struggling families, not ensuring housing, food & health care or safety from violence. It is state violence against children. We need to radically reimagine a society safe for children & how to collectively create it.
In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.
If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.
This is unbelievable. The judge denied MEDICAL RECORDS on grounds of hearsay. That's not FUCKING HEARSAY, that's EVIDENCE she isn't lying. #IStandWithAmberHeard

Self-defense isn’t #abuse. Having PTSD after being abused & snapping at your abuser isn’t abuse. When you’re a victim, even if you eventually initiate fights with your abuser because you’re so conditioned to the abuse dynamic, you’re still a victim.
#MeToo
It’s sad that Kylie Putnam has to be this brave standing almost alone because Amber Heard deserves public support.
The backlash against #MeToo is so bad, conservative news Daily Wire spent thousands pushing anti-Amber propaganda.

An #AmberHeard supporter from Minnesota shared her thoughts about the defamation trial with @LawCrimeNetwork's Angenette Levy. "People made it into a funny TikTok trend to dance and act out her sexual assault testimony...I mean it's just sick," Kylie Putnam said.
