“we have to understand that the supreme court only has the authority over us that we give it.”
I had the profound honor of being the interviewer on the other side of this conversation with gloria steinem and I’ll never forget the wellspring of strength I felt in this moment. may we all have a fraction of the fortitude this divine woman, who is responsible for so many of the freedoms we still retain, has emanating from her being. we are gutted and enraged and terrified, but WE ARE NEVER POWERLESS.
if you know anyone who needs an abortion and lacks the resources, reach out to me. I will help. if you’re longing to cry, call me. I will help. if you want to drain a bottle of tequila and burn it all down, say the word. I’m there. I love you. five people, including a man so emotionally dysregulated he shouldn’t be trusted to drive an uber let alone sit on the supreme court, cannot be allowed to endanger the lives of women – especially and overwhelmingly women of color – and keep people trapped in cycles of poverty. children should be brought into this world out of love, not force. let’s be forces of love – love and righteous, fiery anger. to our emancipation. x
