On this day, 19 September 1893, following two decades of struggle, women in Aotearoa/New Zealand won the right to vote in parliamentary elections. Māori and working class women had played an important role in the women’s suffrage movement, and the right to vote was achieved by all, not just white women or property owners like in some countries.

Did Ruth Bader Ginsburg effectively use girl power when she let a gas pipeline through the Appalachian Trail.

Okay but six other people voted for it too. And yet you’re all shitting on the least problematic of the bunch and letting the other six off the hook… for what? Cuz she’s a woman and cuz everyone wants to think she’s perfect? Being a woman truly is exhausting

you’re an idiot. no one is “letting the other six off the hook”, the other six are mostly republicans who everyone already hates ANYWAY. the point of this post is to point out that we shouldn’t be idolizing RBG, because she is just as shitty as any other politician. no one is idolizing the other 6 judges, so the point doesn’t make sense to make for the rest.

turning “hey we shouldn’t be idolizing this centrist judge who voted for a gas pipeline to be built among MANY OTHER shitty decisions” into “guhhh you just hate her because she’s a WOMAN” is ridiculous. also note that of the 3 female supreme court judges, she was the only one to vote to approve this pipeline. why not support one of the other two instead of crying about people posting rightful criticism of RBG?

additionally, while we’re pointing out RBG’s demographics, we should note she’s not just a woman: she’s also white! this pipeline crosses through majority black, latine, and native communities. check out this article: 

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Battle Is About People, Not Precedent: The rural, Native, Black, and Latinx communities protesting the controversial pipeline deserve clean, safe places to call home.

ignoring the fact that she’s a white person approving pipelines through communities of color just because she’s a woman is so incredibly disingenuous

reblog if you remember when RBG said kaepernick taking a knee to protest police violence was “dumb and disrespectful”

or just sit there being salty about it for all i care

reblog if you remember when rbg voted to keep all detainees in guantanamo bay indefinitely without due process

Remember when she refused to accept Oneida sovereignty over their lands because it would be unfair to whites and that the character of the populace was “non-Indian”?

On the Notorious RBG and Sherrill

Many of my friends have a great deal of affection for United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  My own enthusiasm for the “N

On the steps of the Supreme Court Building, soft cries and the low murmur of chirping crickets filled the air as hundreds of people grieved the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Occasionally short bursts of clapping broke out before the crowd resumed its silence (at points they sang “Amazing Grace,” “America the Beautiful,” and “Imagine” by the Beatles).

Surrounded by family in her home in the District, Ginsburg died from complications related to pancreatic cancer on Friday at the age of 87. She was the second woman appointed to the Supreme Court and spent 27 years on the bench. She was a champion for gender equality and one of few remaining liberal voices on the court.

Shawn Boykins, 35, said a friend texted him about the news as soon as it happened. He was in the neighborhood and thought to visit the Supreme Court to pay his respects.

“I can’t help but think about the political implications, but I’m trying to set that aside,” Boykins said. “It just reinforces that a lot’s at stake in the election with so much happening, with the fires, climate change, and everything.”
