The Trump campaign positioned itself as a champion of a hierarchical gender order, aiming to restore men to a place of wrongfully deprived supremacy over women. Many voters cast their lot in with Trump hoping that he would do just that #YourBodyMyChoice theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Today is Stepan Chubenko’s birthday. Native of Donbas, in 2014 he was arrested by russian occupiers for his pro-Ukraine position. Tortured for days. Executed mafia-style. Body found half a year later, with his hands bound behind his back. All his teeth were missing. He was a talented goalie, a poet and just a bright boy. Only 16 years old. His life was ahead of him. His dad was Ukrainian, his mom was russian - but the occupiers didn’t give a shit. They were burning out everything Ukrainian. As they still do. #RussianWarCrimes #StandWithUkraine

BREAKING: MAGA world erupts in rage as American hero Harriet Tubman is finally awarded the rank of One-Star Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard. And it gets so much better... "Today we celebrate one of the greatest authors of the American story," said Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore at a Veterans Day ceremony. Dozens of veterans and generals attended the event at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park. The historic bestowing of rank comes roughly 160 years after Harriet Tubman bravely led Union troops as they raided Combahee Ferry in South Carolina — resulting in the freeing of over 700 slaves. In addition to being an abolitionist, Tubman served in the Union Army as a nurse and later as a spy and scout. Not surprisingly, Trump supporters are flooding social media with their rage, insisting that Tubman doesn't deserve her new rank. As usual, the motivation is pure unadulterated racism. At a time when America's future seems uncertain and racist forces are once again ascendent in our political landscape, it's important that we remember heroes like Tubman. Her belief in a better future should inspire us to fight for the same. Please retweet and ❤️ if you fully support granting Harriet Tubman the rank of general — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
