Where to cop that sweater?

Had to have high high s for a living

Eh. I've spoken to a lot of women that don't feel safe here in Texas. They don't have the money to leave, and with the governor pardoning rapists and racist murderers, they are afraid of the future here. They are afraid of being raped and being forced to carry, which is absolutely what rightists want.

They have also asked me who I'm voting for. And if saying I'm voting for Dems makes those in my life and around me feel safer, then I will do that, and I won't lie to women and fem people. Telling them about socialism, revolutionary politics, imperialism will not help them feel safer or better. It's so shitty here in Texas, that basic survival instincts are what people worry about. Me and so many of my friends have been catcalled or threatened with sexual violence here.

Voting is the liberal bandaid, they think it will fix everything. It won't, voting will not stop imperialism, it won't stop genocide it won't even stop homelessness or inflation lol. But will it slow the progression of fascist policies and maybe give people the chance to learn about actual leftism? It might. And that's all a lot of people can hope for.

Vote against gross rightist policies, and in the meantime get organized, form a union, talk to your coworkers about how you need to be earning more, form community with people outside of the corpo entertainment sphere. There is so much work to do in the US for there to be an actual leftist movement, frankly we are so far behind and need to start doing shit now.

This should be spread far and wide to all libs everywhere.

As a 40 year old voter I can say things have changed. Gay people can get married. They couldn’t when I was younger. I was about to lose my healthcare at work during Bush but it hasn’t been a concern since.
