This, every day.
Please take a moment this weekend to think about how the U.S. puts Black people in cages 6 times the rate of South Africa at height of Apartheid. Almost all people caged in the U.S. are poor. Think about how these horrors have been normalized and justified by the news you hear.

We r also a country where child marriage is legal in 44 states (only DE, MN, NJ, NY, PA, & RI set age 18 w/no exceptions) & 20 states do not require any minimum age for marriage w/parent or judicial waiver. So, in 20 states a 10yr-old can marry her rapist if parents say so. Cool.

Yup. My maternal grandmother was born in 1896. In her late 70s she told me she tried to leave my grandfather with her two little girls in 1940ish and it was so hard to survive that she went back to the marriage. He was emotionally cruel to her their entire 50yr marriage.

I love this woman and her brilliant Twitter threads on the most important topics. Here is the Abortion issue and the solution:
If the woman decides to have the baby, or put the baby up for adoption, the man may never know he caused an unwanted pregnancy with his irresponsible ejaculation, or that there’s now a child walking around with 50% of his DNA.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman elected to the US Congress. And it shows! It shows in the way she refuses to put up and shut up. It shows in the way she refuses to be grateful because the white boys let her in their club called Congress
