Make no mistake:
Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’
As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

The margins of menopause, once peripheral spaces of silence and invisibility, are being reclaimed and reimagined as intentional, intergenerational menopause maroon communities and a direct pathway to the Menopausal Multiverse.

I agree with Neil deGrasse Tyson who said, “If we have the technology to terraform Mars, then we should use it to fix Earth first.”

I said it then and I say it now with more evidence: electoral politics was a wrap when regular people started making social media announcements of their “endorsement”, as if everybody was now a celebrity CEO.

Our divestment is a call to reimagine the menopause landscape and open the space to hold bolder, broader narratives, cultures, and realities where all menopausal experiences are seen, centered, valued, honored, and protected.

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation.
To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign.
And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

Trump rode to political prominence on birtherism and spent the last month of his campaign claiming that Haitians were eating cats.
The rise of authoritarianism in America *must* be understood as a misinformation crisis.

There's also seemingly no acknowledgement of a massive right-wing propaganda machine stirring this sentiment up. Where it does exist it's largely a manufactured, tribal outrage, it's not actually regular people getting so offended they go fash over this stuff. That's important.

Ah, the 1930s Germany frame.
But in the post-reconstruction era, America had Jim Crow, the resegregation of the federal workforce, and deadly pogroms against black people in the South.
We’ve been here before. It’s just it didn’t happen to white people.
Where do yall think Germany learned from?

Interesting question: if you were living in Germany in the ‘30s in which year would you call it and emigrate?
