🚨 DAMN.
Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her:
“My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.”
She was SIX.
And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense.
Why the classrooms were empty.
Why adults were screaming.
Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school.
Not because of anything she did.
Just because of the color of her skin.
A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
Girls will survive abuse, heartbreak, grief, and unspeakable tragedies and still navigate through the world with kindness and compassion, but one minor inconvenience in a man's childhood and he spends the rest of his life terrorizing and poisoning everyone around him
Arkansas, where child rape victims are forced to remain pregnant. Incest, nope you remain pregnant in good ole Arkansas.
In 2019, 37.4% of adults in Arkansas were classified as obese, compared to the national average of 31.9%.
In 2022, Arkansas had the third-highest infant mortality rate in the nation, with 7.67 infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
The state has a high maternal mortality rate. Black women with at least a college degree face a pregnancy-related mortality ratio five times higher than that of white women with similar education levels.
Arkansas ranks 48th out of 50 in overall health and 49th in the health of women and children.
The state has higher unemployment rates compared to national averages.
Arkansas attacks Diversity and Inclusion and Black History.
But by all means let's bring in America’s fakest widow to indoctrinate children. #DemsUnited
My dad left my mom after 32 years because he wanted to “finally be happy.”
The woman he left her for was 27.
My mother didn’t scream. Didn’t beg. Didn’t even argue.
She just quietly said, “Okay.”
For the next year she learned how to use online banking, started traveling with friends, renovated the kitchen he never let her touch, and took dance classes.
Meanwhile....
My husband cheated on me ONCE. One time in seven years together, and suddenly I was expected to “hear him out” and “work through it” because “people make mistakes.” But when I packed my things and left, I became the villain for not forgiving him fast enough.
A year later, he still tells people I “threw away” our marriage over one mistake, like seven years of loyalty from me meant nothing the moment he decided to betray it.
Funny how betrayal is called a mistake when men do it, but a woman is branded a monster forever.

Any woman who is worthwhile isn't going to have sex with you on the first date.
This manosphere shit gets really fuckng exhausting because the opinions slingshot back and forth.
They'd argue if a woman sleeps with men easily she's not worthwhile because it implies she's used up and isn't worth it.
But because she won't sleep with you on the first date after you paid for a $45 meal, she's not worth it.
Meanwhile men in these circles argue for traditional roles where women handle the household and men take the lead everywhere else.
Pick a fucking lane. You're not making any sense.
Why do elections only get stolen when Dumbfuck J Trump is in office? We were fine for 240 years and then this whiny bitch shows up and everything is rigged? Get the fuck out of here.
Democrats: "If you redo the TX maps we're going to redo other states."
Republicans: "Suck it libtards. Cope."
Democrats: "Ok, so we're doing CA and VA."
Republicans: "Wait.. no. What? This is the end of America. Stop. You guys are mean."
So let me get this fucking straight…
MAGA wants Trump reading the Bible in the Oval Office and the Ten Commandments in public schools, but the Pope should stay out of politics? Be fucking serious
THIS VIRGINIA VOTER NAILS IT 💥
#VoteYesVirginiaToday
“Unfortunately, we’ve been pushed into the position where two wrongs will make a right, and as Democrats, we simply can’t come to a boxing match when the person brings a knife.
We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”
