IFB cult & DV abuse survivor who left it all to survive and heal. Now I battle the patriarchy from a place of financial, emotional & spiritual independence. All while calling out the system that robs women of their rights and power.

Going into fundamentalism as an adult my natural stubbornness to reject unearned authority kept me in check. But then after a year or so it started submitting to the authority of my pastor and his wife, then the deacons, then the ladies Bible study teacher. 🧵
Do not obey in advance.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.

#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.

#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.

Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

Why are Dems obligating themselves to follow decorum when maga spent the last few years causing chaos?

Dem leadership must get comfortable with obstructing this dictatorship regime. This isn’t politics as usual and decorum isn’t obstruction it’s the hand basket to hell.

Good on Chicago! No idea why Jan 6 rioters would want a job in Chicago to begin with. Isn’t it too dangerous to visit the city, let alone go there every day for work?
Chicago is on to something.

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

This is the energy we need. Fuck decorum! Decorum is the rollercoaster straight to fascism.
BREAKING: AOC sends a message to Tom Homan at her town hall in Jackson Heights:

“Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I'm using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections. To that I say: Come for me. Do I look like I care?”

They’ll run off the cliff then scream, while falling to their death, that Biden didn’t put up guardrails after their clown king took them down, all to their thunderous applause.
When in doubt, just blame Biden.

He’s less a president and more a broadcast signal from a dying democracy - static, chaos, and the faint sound of sirens in the distance.

This is why make America great again is so duplicitous. They long for the timeline where white men could do the reprehensible - to anyone they choose. The mindset behind maga is a “your body my choice” lust for power that will never be satisfied, and the impetus of true evil.
My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country

After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree

THATS why I protect my peace

Every time I shine it’s for THEM

On International Worker's Day, a reminder that we are not $36T in debt because working people rely on welfare & pay too little in taxes, but because billionaires avoid paying taxes & rely on corporate welfare.

Tax billionaires. Protect working people. Save our economy. Save our democracy.
