Republicans: Felons should NEVER regain the right to vote. Got a felony for pot possession when you were 21? Fuck off. If you can’t follow the law, you don’t get to vote on the law.
Also Republicans: I mean, even if Kavanaugh IS an attempted rapist who drank underage in high school, whatever. It’s not disqualifying even if its true. I still think he should serve a LIFETIME POSITION ON THE SUPREME COURT.
it’s #MeToo to include everyone…….not #SheToo lmao
yeah wtf? #metoo is for men as well. Men are also victims, men have been a vocal part of this movement too.
Terry Crews did not tell his story to be disrespected and erased like this.
[id: a tweet by jovan @ehjovan reads: “alexa… when did “me” become a gender”
the nested tweet is from The Telegraph and reads “Is it time for a #HeToo movement? Meet the US men fighting for male rights”. Included is this link to the article.]
Yall really be like “If hot women slept with incels they wont kill women!!1! “ and “If you stop punching nazis and dont turn down dates with them maybe they wont hate you so much!!” as if men having wives still dont kill and rape women and racist white men who have dated black women still dont go around abusing black people and calling cops on them when they breathe around them lol.
If having sex with one’s oppressor made the oppressor stop oppressing that group of people then slave owners in history would have freed their slaves ages ago and misogyny would not even exist lmao.
that post about who prisons should/shouldn’t be for is really surreal like I Do Not and Probably Will Never Have The Spoons To Get Into It as much as this topic deserves but. it’s wild how leftists on this site see very clearly how
police are corrupt, racist, ableist to their core, originally founded to capture escaped slaves and crush protests and riots
police only exist to protect capitalist interests and, i guess to give the illusion of safety to white upper and middle class people
criminalisation has always failed, always does more harm than good, and always targets marginalised groups. see the war on drugs, see how it hasn’t affected white people and our drug use in the slightest, see prohibition, see sex work
prisons are dehumanising by design and do not act as a deterrent to potential criminals
crime rates are a direct function of poverty and quality of life, and the presence of cops and Tough On Crime policies haven’t been proven to have any impact on crime at all
all judicial systems are imperfect, and risk people being imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit. this applies even in a perfect world to hypothetical courts free of all racism and biases, which we’re currently failing at
but we’re only up for prison abolition Until A Certain Point. i get why that is, the idea of rapists and unrepentent/unjustified/cold-blooded murderers On The Street where they’re ‘free to strike again’ is terrifying, on a close and personal level. but it’s amazing that i’m seeing people say they don’t trust cops, don’t trust prisons, don’t trust capitalist states to have our interests at heart, Except for when it scares us to go without those things. like if you’re for prison abolition at all, if you think in principle there’s nothing a human being could do to deserve their human rights being taken away by the government, then that needs to include the Scary Crimes done by Scary Bad People. because you’re falling for the illusion that the current system is protecting you from them already, and they’re not.
Excuse me? I don’t know what planet you live on but it’s been my experience that trans women are overwhelmingly supportive of abortion rights. Maybe the reason why you don’t see droves of trans women at your pro-choice rallies is because we’re a tiny, marginalized minority among women so maybe there just aren’t a lot of trans women to turn out in the first place.
Oh yeah… and the fact that for the last several decades people like you have been doing your damnedest to make mainstream feminist spaces–like your aforementioned pro-choice rallies–as hostile as possible towards trans women.
Talk about a goddamn catch-22, eh?
Oh yeah… and while I’m at it I should point out that aside from lack of abortion access–turns out we cant conceive boy howdy what a privilege!–every single feminist issue I can possibly think of from rape to domestic violence to sex trafficking hits trans women hard.
Wonder why trans women aren’t front-and-center at your local women’s shelter? Maybe it’s because we’re too busy scrambling to put together resources of our own that you would have taken for granted sixty years ago because someone went and decided to make the resources you seem to be asking us to help you run inaccessible to us when we need them.
