As an #abusesurvivor I know a lot about exploitation. As an individual with different abilities, I know a lot about #discimination. As someone living in a core country, I have a responsibility and an opportunity to create a ripple #stophelpingtheelite I will stand for those who can't #BecausenowIcan

My humble opinion- the mess in this country is not a product of Trump- hear me out. Trump is actually a product of this country and capitalism. We live in a system that demands the hierarchy and glorifies greed and exploitation. A new president isn't enough. We need a new system #stophelpingtheelite

Everyone has abilities, yet not everyone is offered the opportunity to shine. Imagine how much brighter our world would be if everyone was offered an opportunity to shine.

My goal is to make a brighter world for those I serve and those I love, a better world for my children.

Shine bright πŸ•―οΈ

I remember learning about Bacon’s rebellion. Inequality was never a latent function of the system. It is a manifest function, working similar to a mote around an ivory tower. The division among the 99 keep people fighting each other and protecting the position of those in power #stophelpingtheelite

It's crazy how people like him act as if they aren't part of the problem. They don't care up in their ivory towers. They use people to maintain their position, and most people are too busy trying to survive- focused on self-preservation to admit that we do need new leadership #stophelpingtheelite

"Two groups" "with practically identical interests who hate and fear each other so deeply and persistently and who are kept so far apart that neither sees anything of common interest"

-W.E.B DuBois (1935)

The goal is to divide by gender, race, etc. division protects the elite #stophelpingtheelite

Breaking gender norms- gender norms confine us and divide us. They are a way to control the mass. They are used to create the culture wars that divide the 99, and they are bull shit

They create a systemic foundation for abuse for all

The ONLY thing I want to hear from this government right now is when they are going to start doing right things for the 99%, starting with feeding the most vulnerable. Their desire and actions that have created division have gotten old. #taxtherich& #feedthepoor

"who radicalized you"

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

I remember what it's like to be with someone who will terrorize to get and maintain control. It's very familiar, kinda like denying access to food for the disabled, elderly, children- those lower on the hierarchy to get or maintain control. Monsters do that and place the blame elsewhere-gaslighting

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Imagine living in a world that not only respected different gifts and opinions but actually celebrated them.

It’s time to create that kind of world

Hope is essential. It’s a necessity that often goes unacknowledged.

The things I planned aren’t going as planned. But I can’t let go of hope.

When one way isn’t working, we must find another way.

We can’t give up. As long as we hold onto hope, we have a chance.

Be the light

Spread light πŸ•―οΈ

I don’t tap out. It’s time to rise. I licked my wounds. I shed my tears. Now I push forward. I decide my life. I worked hard for my life and my freedom. I worked hard to light a path. No one is smothering this flame. I stand for me. I stand for you. We stand together πŸ•―οΈ

Darkness cannot exist within the light

I haven’t acknowledged the accomplishments I have made that are very worthy of celebration. It’s time. In December, I completed my degree of my first major. In January I got accepted as a transfer student for my second major, in my dream program. Inspiteofthem
