'Difficult' women

"Grace Tame reacts to PM's comment labelling her 'difficult'."

Tame: "'Difficult' is the misogynist's code for a woman who won't comply. History tends to call her 'courageous'.''

'The accumulation of capital required the devaluation of care.'

I've reviewed Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch for the Library. It's a brutal, necessary audit of how the transition to capitalism required a war on women. If we want a new economy, we can't just seize the factories. We have to liberate the home.

OK, so a convicted #felon who had #childAbuser bro #epstein at #maralago, likes #witchhunts and works hard on #destruction of his home country and international relations and #trade using #tarifs is now sending 2 #nuclear armed #submarines against #Russia, because he feels personally insulted ... 🕊️

When will the #majority of citizens understand what roughly #onethird did to them and act?

[Editorial] Dr. Leo Igwe powerfully distinguishes between myth and modernity, affirming that today’s witches are nature-based spiritual practitioners—not agents of harm—and calls for an end to superstition-fueled violence across African communities.

No #DEI outside #USA ?
Did I read, the #US #administration is going to restore #freedom of #speech and stop #deportations of people to El Salvador without #trials?

Are they bringing back #unlawfully deported people?

Did I read, they stop #political #witchhunts and #abductions in general?

Are they are going to stop actions violating their own #laws ?

Even then: "We want you to not treat others with #respect and #dignity." is nothing #decent people would do!

It's a #disgrace 😤

Does anyone know a good book about the #WitchHunts in Europe? Something from a #feminist angle.

And ideally nothing too heavyweight.

When the real #WitchHunts begin, remember... Anyone the #ChristianRight doesn't like is considered a witch! Just like in the 1600s! Piss off the proctor? You're a witch! Have more land than Goodie Smith? You're a witch! Are you a man with a husband? You're a witch!

Concerns Over Targeting of Pagan Community in #Pickens, #SouthCarolina

By Manny Moreno | February 25, 2025

Excerpt: "On February 18, a YouTube video titled 'Witches Be Crazy with Pastor Barry Vaughn' was released by Kevin Harden of Gaining Ground Ministries. The video opens with Harden quoting Deuteronomy 18:9-12, which warns against practices like divination, sorcery, and necromancy.

"Pastor Barry Vaughn and Harden discuss a recent witchcraft festival in Pickens and their efforts to evangelize at the event. Vaughn confirms his presence and states that he and others initially protested outside the venue, later entering the facility before being told to leave.

"Following the backlash, Stillwater Christian Fellowship escalated its response through sermons, podcasts, and videos. Members called on pastors to 'chase the wolves out', a phrase that critics argue refers to witches, #LGBTQIA+ individuals, and #AbortionRights supporters.

"Vaughn later clarified in a video that he does not promote violence but supports the enforcement of what he calls 'God’s law.'" [What about eating shellfish? Or mixing threads together? HYPOCRITES!]

"These #partisan #witchhunts and #firings need to stop. Congress creates independent agencies and insulates #civilservants from partisan firings for a reason.

If this week’s actions become the new normal—and #partisanship becomes the only criteria for holding a position in a #federalagency—then our financial markets will be more volatile, our consumer products more hazardous, our skies more dangerous, and our civil liberties and constitutional rights less secure."
