   It’s a very American white cis feminist thing to say that the abortion pill ban is the only thing that matters right now.

   * Mass shootings are increasing
   * Black lawmakers are denied their place in government
   * Transgender people are denied their human rights

   And that’s just happened recently.

   Yeah, I tend to think there’s other concerns that matter—and you all should start hearing from people affected by them.

   Maybe you should also consider what’s happening in the rest of the world.

     If you want to know who I stand with, it’s with:

     1. The teenage girl who’s forced to carry her pregnancy to term
     2. The African-American man who got “randomly” stopped by police at an intersection
     3. The indigenous elder denied clean drinking water
     4. The transwoman scared to go to the bathroom
     5. The young man sent to war and had his limbs blown off
     6. The refugee denied asylum

     I’m on their side.

     Now that you know that, go follow and listen to people with those lived experiences.

     1. The teenage girl who’s autistically obsessed with recreating Tasha Tudor nationalism
     2. The African-American man who fucked off back to Africa
     3. The indigenous elder who arranged the killing of the shitlib Americorp kids who thought they could fuck with his patriarchal tribal values behind his back
     4. The guy in the commercial who blocked the tranny from the girl’s restroom
     5. The young man who played vidya instead of joining the American trannissaries
     6. The refugee who stabbed Bob Lee
     
     I’m on their side.

     I spend a good portion of my time talking about social media. There’s a reason for this.

     1. Surveillance capitalism is a greater threat than most people realize
     2. Fascists exploit Big Social to their benefit
     3. Social media is actively being used to censor activists

     I feel I have something to contribute to that conversation since I’ve worked in the social media industry for much of my adult life.

     For other topics, I’d rather pass the mic—not because I don’t care but because I do.

     Everything that’s happening in the world right now is interconnected.

     The same people who are banning abortion are the same who allow mass shootings to continue to happen.

     And it’s no accident that Elon Musk is throttling Substack right now.

     This is why one particular human rights violation doesn’t exist in a silo.

     You know why certain people don’t want kids to be taught “wokeism”?

     Because if kids find out what “woke” actually means, they’ll discover that they have more in common with people who exist in the margins than privileged billionaires.

     This is why the likes of Elon Musk want to “own” social media so badly.

     They believe if they own the means of communication, they own our thoughts too.

     Of course abortion rights matter. Yeah, we should all listen to people with a uterus, and hear about their lived experiences.

     But white feminists should stop being such Karens and consider that other people matter too.

     You’re not the only ones being deprived of your human rights.

     1. Just change states
     2. Wouldnt get profiled if it didnt work
     3. Odd to only whine about “natives” when drinking water is fucked across the country
     4. Dont wear a dress in the mens room its easy
     5. Agreed, lets stop funding so many wars, perhaps lets start with the war in Ukraine
     6. My heart goes out to displaced refugees, but why exactly do they need to cross halfway around the world to exclusively come to White countries.
