Monday Ménage: Crafting The Legs. Participating. Realities of Democracy.

Sandra Sealy. Jessica Valenti. Elizabeth Warren.

Women have always had to be creative about making limited resources work to sustain themselves and their families. They understand what it means to make the hard decisions and to just get on with it.
That is why it is imperative for women not just to be the ones dusting off the table – but crafting its legs for our world to stand on. Sandra Sealy.

The important thing is that we are participating-whether it’s by running, voting, or supporting (financially or otherwise) candidates who make a difference to women. Don’t leave shit up to others, ’cause that’s how we get fucked over. Jessica Valenti.

In a democracy, hostage tactics are the last resort for those who can’t otherwise win their fights through elections, can’t win their fights in Congress, can’t win their fights for the presidency, and can’t win their fights in Courts. For this right-wing minority, hostage-taking is all they have left — a last gasp of those who cannot cope with the realities of our democracy. U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren.
