Super grateful for @DrJenGunter’s advocacy for + edu about ppl with vulvas 🙏🏽 As a teen, I def bought into predatory products like OMV — it physically sucked and was emotionally damaging. It’s so crucial to shift the narrative for young ppl that our parts are ALL NORMAL.
You are predatory. Teens do not need a special wash. Your product says it for the outside vagina!!?! I am THE EXPERT here and I SAY your product OMV! is unnecessary at best, but potentially harmful. Your marketing is misogyny. I’m not going away.
AOC just came out as a survivor of sexual assault and pushed through her tears to seamlessly draw comparison to the systematic abuse of the Right Wing. *That* is a warrior. Thank you, @AOC. 💔
AOC is showing us all, in an incredibly vulnerable and courageous way, what holding abusers accountable actually looks like. And if you think this is all “a little extra” then you need to examine your capacity for compassion, and heal yourself.
Thanks for making the space for me, and hope we can all make space for others to tell their stories in the weeks to come.
And to those who wish to paper over their misdeeds by rushing us to all “move on” - we can move on when the individuals responsible are held to account.
My story isn’t the only story, nor is it the central story of what happened on Jan 6th.
It is just one story of many of those whose lives were endangered at the Capitol by the lies, threats, and violence fanned by the cowardice of people who chose personal gain above democracy.
i really need an alternative for “thoughts and prayers” and “sending good vibes” for when people are going through something i can’t do anything about but i’m just hoping really hard it turns out well bc i can’t pull either of those phrases off
So many hands built this victory, but I must single out the indefatigable, ingenious team at @fairfightaction, led by the powerhouse that is @gwlauren. From mobilizing voters to defending the franchise to moving the needle on what’s possible - this team is mighty! Thank you all.
