Republican State Legislators in Tennessee are passing a bill to make it LEGAL for an adult to marry a child.


Republican state legislators, and Republican congressional leaders in both the House and Senate are trying to pass the following laws in almost every state:

1. Legalization of racial segregation in schools and the workplace

2. Legalization of LGBTQ discrimination laws.

3. Legalization of voter suppression.

4. Anti-abortion laws.

5. Legalization of child marriages.

6. Legalization of gun ownership without a permit.

etc upon etc.

If you are 35 and under, and eligible to VOTE for Democrats in state legislative races and also in House and Senate races…please vote for those candidates.

Please vote. Do not sit out any election from this day forward. Be scared enough to vote and vote, accordingly; because many of you do not want to know what this world/ this country is going to be like if you allow Republicans to remain in power.

As for people wondering what Joe Biden has done in his time in office, the chart below will show you and the list is long:

Stretch it out so you all can read it.

And please understand what the stakes are.

Please vote. Vote for any Democrat on the ballot. Please save yourselves. Save your children’s future. And save this world. You don’t have the luxury to sit this one out.


Vote.

TODAY (April 7, 2022) Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed by the Senate as the 1st Black women on the U.S. Supreme Court


God almighty, it’s about time.

Days of action are planned for 10/5 & 10/6 for #BreshaMeadows a 15 year old girl being held in a detention center on suicide watch after shooting her abusive father in self defense. Much of the advocacy around freeing Meadows is rooted in efforts to end mass incarceration, especially of young black people, and in efforts to provide justice for victims of domestic abuse. Meadows is among the up to 10 million children in the United States who are exposed to domestic violence annually, and among the black children who are detained at a rate 4.5 times higher than white children.

“Criminalizing Bresha in this context sends a harmful message to survivors and their children — that even in the most desperate of situations, they will be punished instead of helped,” the OrganizeFor petition reads.

Experts say that children who experience domestic violence are more likely to have depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Meadows’ incarceration only adds to that emotional toll.

Prior to shooting her father, Meadows had run away from home at least twice, and even reported the domestic abuse to the police. She told authorities that her father, 41-year-old Jonathan Meadows, threatened to kill her family and constantly beat her mother, Brandi Meadows, who filed a protective order against him in 2011. She later withdrew the order, as is common with domestic violence cases.

“The United States incarcerates more children than any other country,” Nnennaya Amuchie, law fellow at Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity, wrote in an open letter to prosecutors Tuesday. “Is this what justice looks like? Bresha should not be punished for surviving abuse. Bresha should not be punished for protecting herself and her family.”

Meadows’ next hearing is scheduled for Thursday. #FreeBresha #BlackLivesMatter #BlackGirlsMatter #BlackWomenMatter #MisogynoirKills #DomesticViolence #EndTheCycle #TheWholeSystemIsGuilty

Last year, I wrote an article on the realities of navigating the vintage community as a black woman for @thevintagewomanmagazine . I think a lot of the things I discuss are very relevant to what is going on right now. It was scary to put my thoughts out there on such a wide platform I’m not the best writer so I wrote from my heart.. a lot of these things needed to come out from under the rug they are continually being swept under. I hope that you will read it and reflect. Thank you to The Vintage Woman Magazine for the opportunity to write this piece Thank you Ashleeta (I will be linking the article in my bio) #blacklivesmatter #blackwomenmatter #pocpinup #pinupofcolor #intersectionalfeminism #blackwriters #ashleeta #thevintagewomanmagazine #gatekeeping (at Black Lives Matter America)
