My dad called periods disgusting.
My little brother shut him down in one sentence.
My brother asked me what periods were like because one of his friends had just gotten hers and he didn’t want to make it awkward for her.
So I explained it.
Cramps, hormones, chocolate, the basics.
From the other room, my dad yelled,
“Stop talking about that disgusting shit. Men don’t need to know women’s business.”
Before I could say anything, my little brother looked at him and said,
“No wonder mom left you.”
Silence.
My dad turned around and walked out like he’d just been unplugged.
Then my brother looked back at me and went,
So… chocolate, right?

James Baldwin said it in 1965 and it has not aged a single day:
The reason Americans cannot face their history is that the history indicts their identity.
And you cannot ask someone to accept the evidence that destroys who they think they are.
White Americans, he said, need the Black American to remain inferior, because their own superiority is the only thing that makes sense of a country built on those terms.
The same structure applies outward.
Americans need the rest of the world to remain in need of American guidance, American intervention, American rescue.
Because without that story, what exactly was all the violence for?
The empire doesn't just extract resources.
It extracts meaning.
And the people who built their inner lives on that meaning will fight as hard to keep it as any general ever fought to keep territory.
Harder, maybe.
You can negotiate territory.
You cannot negotiate with someone's need to believe they are one of the good ones.

Black people in America need to be registered to vote, all of us. Full Fk’n Stop.
In states like Georgia, Maryland, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, turning to vote can shift outcomes in House, Senate, and gubernatorial races.
Look at Georgia. About 3.5 million Black residents live here. Roughly 2.5 million of us are eligible to vote, yet only around 1.4 million of us actually do. That leaves between 900,000 and 1.1 million eligible Black voters not participating.
Now compare that to the margins of the last two Ga: governor’s races. In 2018, the race was decided by about 54,000 votes. In 2022, about 191,000 votes. The number of eligible Black voters not participating is between 7 and 10x larger than those margins.
This isn’t about theory, it’s about MATH. If we show up consistently, outcomes change. The shift starts with registration, and it is sustained by turnout.
Register and VOTE.

@BorderIrene Hoffman got 60 days for sodomizing a six year old boy for three years.
Irene, just sit back, relax and admit the truth. You're a party of rapists, pedophiles, criminals, and thieves. Trump already admitted it. You can too.
You're on the wrong side. Enjoy it while you can.

Codify Roe. v Wade.
When Democrats take back power, we need to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
