If you needed confirmation that white supremacy is integral to the American project, it's this--people of color, women, queer people and disabled folks had *some* rights for a hot minute, and and the patriarchy has decided it's better to fully cancel America than to do equality.
Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994.
We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

Don't forget to include disabled people in your resistance. The more revolutionary you become, the more likely you'll join the disability community. To fight back and get out alive is almost always to become disabled in some way. Disabled people know how to adapt and fight continuously. You need us.

Trump gave a press conference toggling seamlessly between "disabled people caused the plane crash" and "Black people caused the plane crash" and it's disconcerting how so many folks' take away is to try and parse out which comment is worse. It's eugenics and that's uniformly bad, guys!

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
