Remember that immigrant detention centers are FOR PROFIT prisons that need to be filled in order for the people who own them to make money.

That’s it.

That’s how crude & basic this cruelty is.

Undeterred & determined not to be excludedβ€”the suffragists rented a barge & plopped themselves in the water directly in front of the Statue of Liberty unveiling ceremony shouting β€œVOTES FOR WOMEN!” from bullhorns on the boat. πŸ—£

Fun fact:

In 1886 women were BANNED from stepping foot on Liberty Island for the Statue of Liberty unveiling ceremony bc the men in charge were afraid suffragists would protest/ point out women couldn’t vote in the U.S. (or in France where it came from).

As a result, there were zero women present.

So basically we have (A) a fascist party and (B) a party that doesn't want to make too much of a fuss about the fascist party.

If you're in need of a real reason to maintain hope remember that billionaire-backed propaganda campaigns and mass censorship across state and federal governments has only made the country even more queer

On Friday I was informed via Teams meeting that I was part a large layoff of over 10% of the workforce at the Center for American Progress.

This came with no prior warning.

If you see any good positions looking for a gender justice & policy expert β€” send them my wayπŸ™πŸΌ

DC, NY, remote. I’m flexible.

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954) said, "A white woman has only one handicap to overcome -that of sex. I have two - both sex and race. I belong to the only group in the country which has two such huge obstacles to surmount." Like her parents, Mary believed in quality education for Black children. In 1887 after receiving her bachelors and masters deoree before the age of twenty-five Mary moved to Washington.

@katekelly.bsky.social's book "Ordinary Equality" also writes of Mary Church Terrell who fought for racial equality and women's suffrage throughout her life, understanding the intersectionality of race and gender discrimination.

In honor of Black History Month, we want to recognize that we would never have made it this far without Black women. Our friend, @katekelly.bsky.social (whose book "Ordinary Equality" you should read) draws our attention to Phillis Wheatley, who was America’s first published Black female poet. 1/x

Today we celebrate the FIVE YEAR anniversary of the 28th Amendmentβ€”the Equal Rights Amendment.

On January 27th, 2020 Virginia became the 38th & final state needed to ratify the ERA.

It met all the constitutional requirements for ratification then.
