House passes late term abortion ban

It’s looking like this won’t pass but I’m disappointed in the lack of attention this is getting.

Socialism Art Nature: NOW and Then

socialismartnature:

In the 1970s, the National Organization for Women actually raised the slogan, “Out of the mainstream — and into the revolution.” The 1970s proved to be an incredibly productive decade in terms of winning real gains for women’s rights and equality in the legislative, economic and social arenas.

if you never had to actually have your rights voted on because you always had them by default i think it’s safe to say you can sit the fuck down

"While I was in the process of leaving my abusive ex-partner, I confided in my social worker (after asking at length about her confidentiality policy, which she assured me was full proof) that I had previously worked as a sex worker in a parlor. She agreed to leave this off my notes but informed that had I still been working at that time, she would have informed child protective services. When I asked why, since I was based away from my house and my children were looked after by family while I was at work, she said that “prostitution is usually indicative of other issues.” Later, speaking to a friend of mine at the brothel about this, she told me that her child had been removed from her care because her ex partner told child protective services about her job during a custody dispute. There did not need to be “other issues”; the assumption of other dysfunction and ignorance of the realities of sex work was enough that she lost her child to the state. Another friend of mine from the same parlor was threatened by her soon to be ex-husband with being outed if she obtained legal council during their separation. Rather than take the risk of losing her children and her family, she lost her house, financial stability, all her savings and everything she had worked for up to that point. Her ex-husband took everything."

holy shit every time i see this i go THAT HAPPENED TO ME oh wait.

Also what I wish I’d mentioned previously is that I DID have other factors that would be considered dysfunctional and often occurring along with sex work, namely mental health problems and drug addiction, and those WERE covered by their confidentiality policy. So like, things that COULD potentially cause harm to my kids were confidential but something that had no connection towards child abuse/neglect wasn’t. Just to add to the fuckedupness of that whole thing.

"I hate being the race card guy, but I’m not scared to be, either. As “New Slaves” makes the rounds, I just want the general population to exhibit the awareness of the song’s objective that comes to me and other blacks so naturally. I know about “broke nigga racism” because I’ve been in the Louis Vuitton store in Monaco where motherfuckers told me not to touch anything if I wasn’t going to buy it. I know that they’re “trying to lock niggas up” because when I got my driver’s license in high school, my mother was just as concerned about my ability to not get my ass beat should I get pulled over by cops as she was about me putting on my seatbelt."

On Listening to “New Slaves” with White People | NOISEY

gonna be a hot summer :)

“Let’s be clear: This record is explicitly racial. Also: You can’t fully comprehend its impact unless you’re black. There’s a certain unspoken acknowledgement that comes with being black and listening to “New Slaves” with another black person that speaks to this.”

this is the part white people are gonna get mad about doeeee
