Politics is about working together to create the best possible communities and opportunities for ALL of us. HARRIS/WALZ know that millionaires and billionaires are fine. Working families need support and that's where they have specific policy recommendations. Also, they oppose structural acts of racism and sexism. The opposition clearly support racist and sexist acts to further divide us. It's time to turn the page a chart a new way forward. Elect HARRIS/WALZ.

The Personal is Political: Stand Up Against Racism for Everyone’s Future The recent racist remarks surrounding the U.S. election remind us all that discrimination isn’t just a political issue it’s a deeply personal one. It targets our friends, our families, and ultimately, our values. If we only speak up when it affects us directly, we risk creating a fragmented movement, vulnerable to those who thrive on dividing us. Let’s break this pattern of silence and stand up for each other now. Racism, sexism, homophobia, and all forms of discrimination are woven from the same fabric of hatred, and if they can come for one of us, they can come for all of us. We must choose unity over division, solidarity over silence, and action over apathy. Our collective voice has power. Let’s amplify it, not just for those who look like us, love like us, or live like us, but for everyone facing oppression. Because when we demand justice for one, we pave the way for justice for all. #ThePersonalIsPolitical #StandUpTogether #UnityForJustice #EndRacism #SolidarityForAll #JusticeForEveryone #TogetherWeRise #EqualityNow

Perverse Justice” considers sexual relations of production as they contribute to the neoliberal order of things. Specifically, the essay explores the imbrications of heteronormativity, Protestantism, and secularized global capital. By taking sex seriously as part and parcel of the relations of production, rather than as a realm of reproduction analogous to or functional for production, it is possible to develop a new understanding of both economic value and the values of social change, including justice, peace, and freedom. Through analyses of policy from the administrations of Barack Obama and George W. Bush, as well as the World Bank, this essay explores whether and how perversity might be an effective agent of economic justice.

NEW VIDEO! The ugly rhetoric from the Democrats and the Cultural Marxists on the left that Republicans, conservatives, and Donald Trump constitute an evil, fascistic threat is slimy propaganda. The cult of identity politics is an evil ideology that divides us into check-box groups, making us fearful of others and pitting us against each other for status and power. The cult of radical transgender ideology led a former friend of mine to put a metaphorical knife in my metaphorical back…without ever TALKING to me to ask *why* I feel as I do. Here is the story of my fight with Body Integrity Identity Disorder, and how it has given me a unique perspective into the transgender issue because I, too, suffered a decades-long belief that my body needed to be mechanically altered to fit a mental image…I was just fortunate I never fell under the power of evil ideologues wishing to push me into mutilation in order to benefit their power and financial gain.

Expect to witness a surge in polarizing narratives as the election of Freedom vs Dictatorship approaches. In the remaining 97 days, brace for heightened rhetoric encompassing racism, sexism, and various controversial topics. The energy reminiscent of the Obama 2008 era is expected to emanate, reflecting a time of intense political fervor. Stay informed and engaged as the discourse unfolds. #Election2022 #Politics #FreedomVsDictatorship 🗳️

Excellent analysis! …We already understand many of the conditions that make a society vulnerable to violence. And we know that those conditions are present today, just as they were in the Gilded Age: highly visible wealth disparity, declining trust in democratic institutions, a heightened sense of victimhood, intense partisan estrangement based on identity, rapid demographic change, flourishing conspiracy theories, violent and dehumanizing rhetoric against the “other,” a sharply divided electorate, and a belief among those who flirt with violence that they can get away with it. These conditions run counter to spurts of civilizing, in which people’s worldviews generally become more neutral, more empirical, and less fearful or emotional.

I'm ecstatic to announce that my article, "Not All Men, but Enough Men," was recently published on the Northeastern University Political Review. Additionally, I am honored to be one of the ten best writers of the semester selected to be featured in the Political Review's printed newspaper. The increasing frequency and severity of gender-related crimes in our so-called “modern world” highlights the urgent need to hold not just individual perpetrators accountable, but to address the cultural, legal, and governmental structures that enable and perpetuate violence against women and girls worldwide. My article shares detailed insight into the current international epidemic of violent misogyny and examines the multitude of factors that are contributing to the rise in female suppression. If we continue to turn a blind eye to the systems of sexism that permeate throughout every single one of our civilizations, the issue is only going to get even worse with women bearing the brunt of the repercussions.

On March 21st, the world observes the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, commemorating the tragic Sharpeville event in 1960, where peaceful protesters were killed while resisting apartheid laws. Today serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle against racism and bigotry. Established by the United Nations, this day calls for solidarity and action to combat racial discrimination in all its forms. It's a time to reaffirm our commitment to equality, justice, and human dignity and to promote understanding, tolerance, and respect among people of diverse backgrounds. Let's work together to build a world free from prejudice and discrimination, where every individual can thrive regardless of race or ethnicity. #InternationalDayforEliminationOfRacialDiscrimination #EndRacism #EqualityForAll #DEI

Both power-control theory and feminist theories provide valuable insights into understanding domestic violence, albeit from different angles. Power-control theory emphasizes familial socialization and power dynamics, while feminist theories focus on systemic oppression and societal structures. A comprehensive understanding of domestic violence may benefit from integrating elements from both frameworks to address the complexities involved in abusive relationships effectively.

This case highlights a powerful stand against #sexualviolence and #systemicmisogyny. Gisele Pelicot’s testimony not only confronts her personal tragedy but also challenges deeply ingrained societal attitudes towards rape and consent in a “macho, patriarchal society.” Her courage in speaking out against her husband and others accused of such heinous crimes underlines the need for justice and cultural change. Cases like these emphasise the importance of addressing rape culture and supporting survivors in seeking accountability. Victim shaming and the systemic mishandling of rape and sexual violence investigations are deeply troubling issues that perpetuate injustice. These practices not only silence survivors but also enable perpetrators by creating an environment of impunity. Globally, we see a failure to prioritise survivors’ voices, often subjecting them to scrutiny and blame rather than addressing the root causes of violence. This reflects a societal failure that undermines progress, equality, and basic human dignity. A shift towards a trauma-informed, survivor-centred approach is essential to dismantle these harmful norms and achieve true justice. The courage this woman has shown in sharing her pain so openly and with such dignity is a profound example of humility at its finest, even in the darkest of times. #EndVictimShaming #JusticeForSurvivors #SocietalChange #Justice #GenderEquality #EndRapeCulture #VAWG #genderbasedviolence #survivorsupport
