patriarchy =/= masculinity

it weighs heavily on my soul that we’ve upheld a patriarchal culture where teenage boys (mostly white) become so angry that they go on violent, murderous rampages with guns, killing innocent adults and children to demonstrate their domination

@SarahBILibrary pretty lame that they just need a simple majority from those who are voting. thanks for clarifying for me

the @SenateGOP is hurting the people of DC. SJ res 102 is anti-democratic, anti-family, destabilizes our local finances and is plain WRONG. worry about your own states #handsoffdc #freedc

@BarredinDC curb taxi app if ridesharing. they don’t charge absurd fees like uber and lyft, and they are waaaaay more reliable

@cuneytdil Worth also including that a federal judge in December found that ICE's arrests in DC were conducted without warrants or probable cause — and blocked these indiscriminate arrests.

DC police cooperating with ICE provides a way around this injunction.

@KiuiAirica @AkilahObviously i meant national strike. organizing local and statewide strikes/walkouts is important. small, localized efforts have the ability to make a difference and build community care. my issue is with the call for a national strike. that’s not feasible for a lot of ppl rn

[Christian Smalls @Shut_downAmazon]

We can’t keep blockchain posting our way to a general strike using meta and Twitter definitely not TikTok. Half these people posting about a National Strike participate in ZERO protest lmao literally just posting to be posting. When are we going to be real serious and organize?

@mattyglesias @Janeese4DC woweee what a melodramatic statement. which ward do you live in, matt?

Interesting: Per a new report from the Congressional Budget Office, the deployment of the National Guard in D.C. (now up to 2,950 troops) cost $223 million from August-December, and will cost $55 million per month onwards. That means up to *$880 million* through the end of 2026.
