@sakasabelleira Sam Kerr is rightfully free, but the coercive processes upholding white supremacy are unchanged. And so we all receive the historic message loud and clear about who and what the police are willing to protect and how forcefully they will do it
English
@sakasabelleira And this is exactly how systemic racism and misogyny works: the state will use every process at its disposal to harm women of colour, and will never to protect them. The damage to Sam Kerr’s sense of safety and dignity is done, regardless of the verdict

sam kerr case going from “ha she called a cop a white bastard, surely the case will get tossed” to “sam & kristie were kidnapped & the cop was being racist but he got called white and that made him sad- take it to trial” is such an ugly stain on the justice system

The Sam Kerr case is a good example of how states don’t use racial vilification laws to obtain justice just to reinforce racial hierarchies and obscure relationships of power.

There is a very long history of denying womanhood to African women. It was a central justification of slavery

This is misogyny btw.

When you hear anyone in the news or social media say "during the pandemic" or "post-pandemic", this is what they are talking about:

Long Covid is a class issue, idk why it needs to be said explicitly. Who doesn’t have paid leave? Who doesn’t have savings to take months, years off? Who doesn’t have insurance? Who doesn’t have a household that can be down an income?
Working class ppl are losing jobs & housing

Cincinnati Enquirer: “A long haul with long COVID: Why poor and middle income Americans are hit hardest” “I can’t tell you how many people are couch surfing or living in cars,” said Delainne Bond, a Florida nurse… cincinnati.com/story/news/202…

The thing is, there’s a large feminist literature from decades ago and is wider than discussion of trans that problematises the concept of ‘woman’. Black, lesbian and working class feminists have long talked about ‘woman’ as exclusionary. The other thing is, GCs haven’t read it.

Endless circular reasoning. 'A woman is anyone who identifies as one', yet they can't define woman. To do so would be to admit that a woman is a woman by virtue of her sex class and nothing else - not dress, not behaviour, not life choices, not 'femininity' - simply her anatomy.

The bathroom ban in the US is the epitome of why cops never belong at pride.
It's simple. If basic aspects of our existence are against the law, who enforces those laws? Who arrests us for using bathrooms and taking our hormones?
They are the frontline of our criminalisation.

If you are insisting on your right to be in public w/out wearing respiratory protection, you are also saying that those more vulnerable than you (currently) must sacrifice any access at all to public life for your right to enjoy the privilege of doing so barefaced.

Dear 🇬🇧,
Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.
