If you are going to threaten judges, maybe the United States of America is not a nation for you. I'm sure there are others where that is acceptable - perhaps those prone to violence should move there instead of sticking around here.

Every 10 minutes, partners and family members killed a woman intentionally in 2024 and that trend is growing, according to the UN. >>

Always the question to myself. Why didn’t they roll tanks up on the White House lawn, in front of Congress & Scotus WHILE #DEMS had the reigns of power? Until a full investigation was done? #NORMS We, the people, are being ruled by a nazi king and the Biden-Harris Admin was AFRAID OF NORMS. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Australia’s blokey culture and rigid gender roles

What it means to be a man in Australia:
"Young NSW men admit to sexually harassing women. More than a quarter of young New South Wales men who participated in a recent survey agreed that “men should use violence to get respect if necessary”, and over one-third admitted to sexually harassing a woman in the past month."

Ah, yes, the brave #warriors of the #rodeo, using lassos to wrangle #gender #norms while #CNN lassos your attention with their totally not-boring #feedback #survey. 🤠💪 Meanwhile, the #video #player takes so long to #load, it must be traveling on horseback from Mexico. 🐢🎥

RE

Right, takes a piece of the pie, even charges his #SecretService for HIS hotel rooms.

As President he breaks the norms. Too bad the previous administrations and Congress did not make the #norms into laws, with real consequences if broken.

Also, the name was not changed by Congress, so them blue shirts there are #graffitiartists

"I remember thinking when I saw the footage of the workers chiseling the name of the headquarters of USAID from its building that this was a terrible omen. It predicted something frightening: a Donald Trump unleashed from law and order and norms."

Being a #leftist should not be about following the #norms of your #society for the bounds of #acceptability for #radical beliefs. It should be about pushing #change in those norms.

We don't change the #Left to be within the #OvertonWindow. We change the Overton window to include the Left.

No subtle -isms

To each of us: speak up, believe and support #women who share their #stories even when it’s uncomfortable!!

This isn’t about #statistics. It’s about lives. It’s about #justice. It’s about reclaiming #safety and #dignity for every woman.

A quotation from Horace

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.
 
[Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1, l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

'Europe’s narrative is constructed on the exclusion of colonialism from its history, allowing the ideology of Europe’s racelessness. […] The disremembering of the colonial past shapes the contemporary perception of Europe as a progressive well-intentioned neutral mediator. Moreover, this colonial amnesia produces Europeans of color as outsiders and “aliens” threatening to the liberal continent’s identity.'

'Thus, racialized Europeans are forever “just arriving” and forgotten in the construction of a contemporary European identity. The book gives examples of continent’s Roma and Sinti populations who have resided in Europe for half a millennium and are constantly marginalized as foreigners.'
