White Men Have Controlled Women’s Reproductive Rights

Throughout US History. The Post-Dobbs Era Is No Different
This is not the first period in U.S. history when white men have exercised control over women’s right to bear – or not bear – children, including during slavery.

......the argument that not enough white people are being born has been a common historical thread in the American anti-abortion movement.

The Half-Truth of America’s Past Greatness

Many of us are familiar with “the talk.” I have in mind the African American version in which we outline for our kids how to engage with law enforcement. Black children receive tools to survive the moment.

But there is another talk that exists largely in the states of the former Confederacy.

I never heard of any official Green Book directing Black travelers to safe stops in the South.

Republicans are very angry that they are being judged by the content of their character not by the color of their skin.

I am done with the term "culture wars." Race, gender identity, and sexual orientation are not "culture," although they are related to culture. We are talking about the attempted erasure, including physical assaults and murder, of whole swaths of the population. And to call it a "war" is bothsides-ism at its worst. One side, the fascist, authoritarian right, has declared war on specific groups. They are using every 1/

@dan613 If #assholery exists on #mastodon, and I have experienced assholery, #racism exists as well.

Interpretation of deaths <60yo are now a Rorschach test for what a bought and sold Eugenics piece of shit someone is, based on their acknowledgment of contributing upstream determinants or dismissal of such.

White Men are by FAR the fucking worst anecdotally.

If the latest mindshare on Twitter and its logic is to be believed, I cause #ableism by fighting against it. Or Black people cause #racism by fighting against it.

"they know that we live in a kingdom of fingerless subjects, and they know who is taking the fingers, and they’d rather not make it stop, but they’d like it if it were understood to be somebody else’s fault—a fault of ineffective persuasion...

We must be persuasive about observable truths, with people who have already declared and demonstrated their unwillingness to observe them...

And if we fail, it will be our fault."

"“Wokeness” is a term that #Black people used to mean “growing awareness of structural #racism” and which conservatives and centrists stole and now use to mean “awareness of the perspectives of people whose existence offends us and make us uncomfortable.”

It is most often used as a slur, which is something you know if you are somebody who notices how #language is used. #Conservatives find “wokeness” an offense, because it offends them"

"As we mark the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington, it is clear that protest politics are alive and strong in the United States. As was the case 60 years ago, gaping racial inequalities and social unrest have motivated widespread participation in marches, which over the past decade have focused on police brutality and immigration. Americans have participated at high levels in protest activities..."
