@randahl It's not really, though. It's a pretty white woman who will get released PDQ.

It's a pretty picture but it doesn't show the cruelty inherent in the system.

We shouldn't be distracted by this.

@muddle @randahl

White women are being repressed under the capitalist patriarchy too, albeit in different ways.

Comparing suffering does not help anyone.

Lady Libery's smile may well be a fawning reaction, which is a defense mechanism.

Those apparently complying w the mythical norm - white, male, young, slim, successful - like policeman in pic - suffer in this culture, too, cf Audre Lorde.

We the People, need to unite worldwide, against all oppression, including the current extreme forms we see in the US.

Let's go!

@muddle @spellfinder @randahl Imagine the reaction if she was anyone else. In FL the very first thing that would happen is the sheriff's dept would ask ICE if they want to kidnap the person they are holding.

Here, every cop is effectively an ICE agent. We need to kill 287(g) with fire and bury the ashes in a toxic waste dump!

I am not free while any woman is unfree
Even if her shackles are very different from my own.

@muddle Holy hell, you're insufferable.

Go look up 'sea-lioning'. It's about you.
