Wrapping his wife in a blanket as she mourned the loss of her pregnancy at 11 weeks, Hope Ngumezi wondered why no obstetrician was coming to see her.
Over the course of six hours on June 11, 2023, Porsha Ngumezi had bled so much in the emergency department at Houston Methodist Sugar Land that she’...
yes and have
think any of those that came before just shied away when the jackboots were ordered to subjugate such as Malcom X or Martin Luther King Jr. or more recent the student protestors facing jail time over the genocide protests
and there are more than christofascists in Texas
US is called the melting pot it includes a variety of people at least for now
If true, you’re a rarity. And it’s mostly in vain. When was the last civil right won from jail time? All I can think of from the 90s on are brutal prison sentences for activists and worsening conditions for the rest of us, with a minor blip of better conditions for LGBTQ under 2nd term Obama.
Yeah the 60s brought great change from protest, but it’s been mostly downhill since. I think of the environmental and animal rights activists of the 90s/00s in particular (ELF/ALF), who ended up with long (life?) prison sentences and gestures broadly look at the world around us? We’re living through climate collapse. They did the best they could to fight the inevitable under capitalism and paid dearly for it, for what?
The state has brutally cracked down on the left since forever, and it’s only gotten worse with technology.
If these Texans (the non christofascist) want to fight they need to start organizing and fighting with their labor. Strike.
But even then the state will find a way to oppress. The smart ones with the resources to do so are all fleeing to safer blue states.
I live in one of those safer blue states that people are fleeing to. The right to abortion is codified in our constitution unlike the federal democrat cunts who cynically fundraised off it for 50 fucking years, but yeah we’ll push them left any day now. I wonder how the states rights crowd is gonna logic pretzel themselves to go after that…
