Make no mistake:

Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’

As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

The Ecosystem of Refusal: Menopause and the Power of Maroon Space Charting Pathways from the Margins to the Menopausal Multiverse

The margins of menopause, once peripheral spaces of silence and invisibility, are being reclaimed and reimagined as intentional, intergenerational menopause maroon communities and a direct pathway to the Menopausal Multiverse.

I agree with Neil deGrasse Tyson who said, “If we have the technology to terraform Mars, then we should use it to fix Earth first.”

"Our goal is to ensure that nobody’s menopause experience is overlooked or left behind—and that requires us to break from the mainstream ‘landscape’ and forge an empowering community of our own," writes @omisadeburneyscott.bsky.social:

I said it then and I say it now with more evidence: electoral politics was a wrap when regular people started making social media announcements of their “endorsement”, as if everybody was now a celebrity CEO.

If you think that can't happen to you, then you've failed to recognize the danger and magnitude of this moment.

Who in the United States is safe?

None of us are safe unless all of us are safe. Because none of us are free unless all of us are free.

“The US is poised to use terror laws against students. This could be worse than McCarthyism.”

“Typically, sentencing guidelines call for 20 years to life in prison.”

Why We Must Divest The word divestment traces its roots to the Latin word vestire, “to clothe,” with the prefix di- or dis- signifying “removal.” In essence, to divest is to strip away what no longer serves us—to releas...

Our divestment is a call to reimagine the menopause landscape and open the space to hold bolder, broader narratives, cultures, and realities where all menopausal experiences are seen, centered, valued, honored, and protected.

The Menopausal Multiverse is here.

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation.

To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign.

And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.

But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.

We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.

Where do yall think Germany learned from?
