Don't get complacent because this doesn't affect you yet. Fascism depends on us believing things won't get worse, because the alternative is terrifying.

Fight that fear with solidarity. Follow the lead of communities who've been fighting oppression this entire time.

If you want a fully immersive "postmodern design hellscape" themed dining experience I highly recommend dinner at The Cheesecake Factory

from a design perspective that place is fuckin wild and I'll talk a little bit about why

[Women Posting W's @womenpostingws]

Gisele Pelicot, whose husband drugged her and allowed different men to rape her over the course of 10 years, is holding a public trial and allowing her name to be published, even though she didn't have to.

Her husband wished for a private trial, which would have allowed their names to remain anonymous, but she wanted to shame the men who have raped her and hold them responsible publicly for what they've done.

She told the court that she hopes her testimony might help spare other women from similar ordeals. She said she pushed for the trial in open court in solidarity with other women who go unrecognized as victims of sexual crimes.

Her strength is so unbelievable.

[lewys piper 🇵🇸 @generalquixote]

Tremendous respect for Gisèle Pelicot, but I do think it ought to be remembered that she was not her husband’s only victim. He also took secret naked photos of his daughter and his daughters-in-law. His daughter believes she was drugged and abused like her mother.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Of the 80+ men who assaulted Gisele Pelicot - there were countless others who were propositioned by her husband & declined.

Why didn’t they go to the police? Why did no one help her?

Misogyny runs deep. these men patted themselves on the back for not raping her - and moved on

🇫🇷🔴 French judges sentenced Dominique #Pelicot to a maximum 20 years of imprisonment for drugging and raping his ex-wife #GisèlePelicot and allowing other men to rape her while she was unconscious.

At the end of the trial, Gisèle Pelicot took the floor ⤵️

This morning, Mum suddenly grabbed my hand as we watched the news on #GiselePelicot & said:

"We teach you girls to be so vigilant, to always stay alert, every minute of the day. But now what? How are we supposed to protect you while you're sleeping too?"

And it has broken me.

NEVER again can #women be told our fear of male violence is "irrational".

In Matthew 25, Jesus describes true converts as being marked by a peculiar empathy toward the poor, marginalized, and incarcerated.

But he describes false coverts as being outwardly religious but marked by a peculiar callousness toward the poor, marginalized, & incarcerated.

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

The phrase "unskilled labor" is used to distract you from the fact that the work they are doing is necessary for society to function. Just because some necessary jobs require less training time than others doesn't mean those people deserve to live in poverty.

[JodiJacobson 🇺🇦 🩸🦷 @jljacobson]

.@RepAdamSchiff Every day I am getting emails like this one below. I urge you strongly to vote against #HR9495. It is an awful bill and will further undermine our democracy. And I also have a direct stake in this as the founder and ED of a non-profit. Vote NO.

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

🚨 On 11/20, Congress will vote on H.R. 9495.

#HR9495 would give Trump and his admin of loyalists unprecedented power to silence & shut down nonprofits they personally dislike.

📩 Tell your reps to oppose this dangerous, anti-democratic bill now: https://t.co/XvwzIVls5D

[IFCO/PastorsforPeace @ifcop4p]

This is our last chance.

H.R. 9495 threatens IFCO Pastors for Peace and non profits, religious and advocacy groups across the country.

TAKE ACTION

CALL 1-855-637-2383 to be connected with your Representative by phone.

[Fight for the Future @fightfortheftr]

BREAKING: ACTIVISM IS WORKING. DO NOT LET UP!!

Reps that voted for #HR9495 are getting so many calls they're publicly withdrawing their support of the nonprofit-killer bill.

Don't let Dems pre-comply with fascism. Keep calling until the vote on 11/21: https://t.co/6PyRRvXhCi

[KerisLove @kerislovemusic]

So our CURRENT Congress under this current admin introduced a bill that would harm non profits & allow a President to shut them down if they determine it helps “terrorist” 50 Dems have shown support. Seems like everyone is helping the fascism we were suppose 2 be afraid of HR9495

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

For vulnerable patients - going to the hospital feels like the hunger games. May the odds be ever in your favour.

It doesn’t have to be this way. We KNOW how to make hospital settings safer and reduce hospital acquired COVID.

My plea to maskless HCWs:

I'm halfway through #WomanOfTheHour and I already know there's no good guys coming to save anyone in this movie. Every male character besides Rodney Alcala is also a part of the problem.

Ok, here we go: Much of my work concerns the history and return of scientific racism. I’ve written extensively about attempts to resurrect the shuffling corpse of
race science and eugenics for many years. Bigotry dressed up as biology. 1/n
