Elon Musk came from a family that owned an emerald mine in Apartheid South Africa. Bill Gates’ mom helped Microsoft get a deal with IBM. Jeff Bezos’ garage-based start was funded by a quarter-million dollar investment from his parents. “Self-made billionaires” are a myth.

Solidarity with the courageous women and allies in Iran protesting for their freedom. Mahsa Amini was senselessly murdered by the same patriarchal and autocratic forces repressing women the world over. The right to choose belongs to us all, from hijabs to reproductive care.

Every single Republican in Congress voted against the Inflation Reduction Act. When it came time to actually do something about inflation, Republicans said no.

Greg Abbott has been Governor of Texas for eight years. With Republican majorities in the House and Senate. Anything he’s saying he’s going to do is something he could have done, but didn’t.

It's normal to have anger towards an abuser whose life appears to have gone on without interruption while you pay a price. Their lives are never what they seem. Release yourself from carrying any part of their inauthenticity, including their lack of ownership over what they did.

“Elina’s story is the tip of the iceberg in a national (global) reckoning with how #familycourts regard #domesticviolence & child abuse when it comes to determining custody.” — Connecticut Protective Moms Connecticut Protective Moms | Hannah Dreyfus ProPublica propublica.org/article/parent…

Coercive control and other types of domestic abuse do not stop at the point of separation. Post separation abuse is real.

34 years later, Julia Sugarbaker is still right. ✌🏼

Today, I was banned from phone communication with my children by Hudson County Superior Court. And I am about to give up on this legal fight for my kids. My story proves America's Family court system is broken. A thread.

The belief system of 'parental alienation', where a child's dislike of a parent is attributed to the 'brainwashing' of the other parent, is deeply problematic. One way it is super problematic is that it is adult-centred, & ignores children's own views. Long🧵

'PA treatments' generally focus on overriding the wishes of children, convincing them their concerns aren't real or valid, forcing them to spend time away from their preferred parent, & threatening them into submission. Not likely to result in a healthy outcome for the child!

This is a gendered issue: when a mother says a father is abusive & the father says he's alienated, the father is pretty likely to get custody When a father says a mother is abusive & she says she's alienated, the mother is far less likely to get custody: scholarship.law.gwu.edu/cgi/viewconten…

Imagine the WTF reaction…. as you’re in court starting to realize your lawyer, your kids’ lawyer… all a part of the #familycourtcircus.

this! this! this!
