the girlbossification of ruth bader ginsburg has to be one of the most just plain annoying aspects of white liberal feminism. like it's not as actively harmful as a lot of other shit obviously. but it is soooooo annoying. if I never see another notorious rbg tote bag as long as I live it will be too soon
#her opinions and amicus' in many cases were iconic! not denying that certainly. she is absolutely AMONG the better justices in us history#HOWEVER her record on policing/the carceral system is very bad! genuinely bad!#and she just would not hold the conservative justices accountable. her and kagan are way too placating#and then she refused to retire in 2009 when there was a sitting democratic president and a fucking DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITY#saying basically that no one else could do the job as well as her which is insane because sotomayor and KBJ literally are better :/#its also unbelievably conceited and just incredibly fucking selfish to knowingly doom the country because you think youre hot shit#started ranting abt this at work bc literally any talk even adjacent to the supreme court will set me off abt all of us court history#and my coworker was like 'well i dont think its very fair that she had to have that much riding on her decision to retire'#it literally is fair because that is the fucking job that she signed up for. this has literally always been how it fucking works#its a lifetime appointment. you either die unexpectedly or retire strategically#she accepted a position in which the entire country would depend on her but its not fair for the entire country to depend on her???#bullshit#im not fucking buying it. she did this knowing roe would likely be struck down as a result#she should absolutely be held accountable for that lmfao. you can know that she had a hand in a lot of great decisions for this country#while also knowing that she did a fucked up and extremely selfish thing

Harvey Weinstein’s case is being overturned because too many women were allowed to testify against him…he is being acquitted of his rape charges even though over 100 women have come forward. And then the Supreme Court is going to hear a case about whether pregnant women/people can be turned away in the emergency room if an abortion is needed. And there are men who want to claim we are equal?????????????? Disrespectfully, get the fuck out of my face with that bullshit.

straight men: i hate my wife! and I hate this ball and chain life
straight men: it is a DUTY to be married before you're 30. it's not an option
straight men: marriage is a sacred institution. (yes, my wife looks after the household chores, MY children, MY parents, what about it? it's her duty as a wife)
straight men: a marriage is like a workshop, a man works, the wife shops😂
straight men: talking to your wife is like reading the terms and conditions, you don't read anything and click agree😂
the same straight men while making laws: same sex marriage should be illegal because it destroys society and ruins the institution of marriage. (To the gays and lesbians) you're ugly, you disgust me, give me 2000

for my entire adult life people who went to college have been mocked as impoverished morons crippled by useless debt until the prospect of debt relief comes up and then they are fabulously wealthy elites punishing the hardworking common man
the thing the actual fabulously wealthy elites do

How long until the supreme court drops all pretenses and takes over the legislative branch?
"From now on, any and all bills passed by congress must be approved by the court before they can go the president's desk."
They already pick and choose which laws to strike down based on what their party wants, constitutionality is irrelevant, so how long until they give themselves a preemptive veto just to speed up the process?
They narrow the scope of amendments they don't like and broaden the ones they do. Some amendments are interpreted only as written, cold clinical dictionary definitions, no context, no intention, "if it's not excplicitly written down verbatim then it's not protected," while others are fast and loose, "obviously this is what the founders intended, they didn't need to say it, we just know and that makes it legal." The 14th doesn't protect you from discrimination, but the 1st protects your right to discriminate. The 1st means bribery and quid pro quo are legal, but protests are not. The 1st lets schools ban books, punish trans kids, and teach Bible Study as a required class. The 1st means whstever they want it to mean, no more, no less, no exceptions. If you use their own logic to find a loophole they didn't intend, they'll change their minds and strike it down and issue an even more airtight decision; everything is case-by-1case, no precedent, no unintended beneficiaries, "it's legal when we do it, but not legal when you do it."

Me on the verge of suicidal ideation telling my clinically anxious friend that Milei can't go full austerity the second he takes over because he doesn't have the majority in Congress like I believe that.

You want to tell me that the Supreme Court justices are lifelong appointees that their WHOLE entire job is this right here to make these decisions and we just let them fuck off for months at a time??
I'm sorry but if poor measly citizens performing the everyday jobs that keep this whole country running can't even get three days off in a row most the time dont get months then neither should they.
No I want them working every. Single. Day.
Oh you want to see your family??? Thats too damn bad Clarence you've got a billionaires dick to suck.
You want a lifelong position fine but you'd best devote your whole actual life to it.

I hope the justices that voted to overturn Roe V Wade never know another night of peace. I hope this comes back to bite them in the ass.

I am exhausted and heartbroken and continually ashamed to be an American. I’ve lost my faith in this “system.” I will never stop fighting, especially now, for my future children and their children. We cannot stop now. That is exactly what they want from us.
To my male followers — we NEED you. Always have, always will. Please think of the women in your life, those who gave you life, and speak out, show your support, give a voice to those with less of one than yours. This is literally life and death. We need all hands on deck. This cannot and should not fall solely on the shoulders of women. We are already burdened with too damn much.
And to those who have the audacity to make light of and joke about this situation in any way, regardless of intent, and ESPECIALLY if you are not a woman, please read the room and shut the fuck up. No one asked for your petty jokes, stupid comparisons, or selfish behavior. I promise you are only making it worse.
For those who say this is a strictly American issue, you are wrong. Respectfully. You don’t think the world is watching, plotting to make similar moves across the globe? OPEN YOUR EYES. I am begging you. If you care an ounce about humanity and the basic human right to choose, this directly impacts you.
From personal experience, I can attest that abortion is health care and a fundamental human right. My body, my choice. The fact it is even up for debate should make you sick. With so many other more important issues to address, the fact that women are being so blamed and heavily regulated for their personal choices says everything you need to know about the power imbalance in America.
If you consider yourself “pro life,” explain to me why you are: anti-vaccine and anti-mask, anti- LGBTQ+, vote against common sense gun safety measures, do nothing to help the poor and homeless, and continue to support processes that enable bias, racism, sexism, and classism. The math isn’t mathing. You clearly hate yourself and need to get some serious help.
I urge those who are able to show up for women and human beings everywhere in whatever way you can, now and forever. Use your social platforms (who cares about the size of your following). Donate if you can. Call your local and national reps. Protest. Call out hate when you see it. And never stop fighting. As I said, those who care for the greater good need to band together and do everything we can to defeat this evil.
I imagine this will lose me followers. So fucking be it. I don’t want and certainly don’t need you around if you disagree with anything I just said.
For those willing to join the fight for reproductive rights, below are some resources I’ve collected over the years. Please share far and wide. This fight will require all of us who are willing and able.
Lastly, I recognize my privilege as a white woman who lives in California. So before you use that against me, consider the fact that I am personally impacted by abortion access due to being sexually assaulted several times as a teenager. This is far bigger than me. And this is not to say you have to have had an abortion to care or want to join this battle. I’m shedding light on my journey, which I hope is met with respect and compassion, if nothing else.
I hope you all join me in some serious reflection and action. One love.
☮️ 💛🚺
