Tomorrow Amy Coney Barrett will be confirmed.
I need you to hear this
I'm a gay, biracial 17yr old who believe in basic human rights, equality, dignity, and science. Barrett is an affront to all of that.

I need you to hear this
I'm a gay, biracial 17yr old who believe in basic human rights, equality, dignity, and science. Barrett is an affront to all of that.
Barrett does not believe I am a full person. Because I am gay I am less
than, not worthy of rights and subject to someone's bigoted empty religious views being used to twist a dagger into my heart, exclude me from society, and shame and take away my love. To her I am dust.
As a biracial man to an originalist I am 3/5 of a person. Anyone who cannot
As a biracial man to an originalist I am 3/5 of a person. Anyone who cannot
speak against the injustices of racism, of school segregation, is complicit in upholding its hate. They themselves are guilty.
As an inhabitant of planet Earth I am disgusted, affronted, ashamed, and damn mad Barrett thinks the survival and health of our one and only planet
As an inhabitant of planet Earth I am disgusted, affronted, ashamed, and damn mad Barrett thinks the survival and health of our one and only planet
is up for debate.
Amy Coney Barrett is not worthy of the bench. Of any bench.
The gutless, spineless, unpatriotic Senate Republicans who will confirm her are not worth their positions or their titles. They are not worthy.
I'm mad. I'm scared. But I'm also numb. Because the
Amy Coney Barrett is not worthy of the bench. Of any bench.
The gutless, spineless, unpatriotic Senate Republicans who will confirm her are not worth their positions or their titles. They are not worthy.
I'm mad. I'm scared. But I'm also numb. Because the
world has many Amy Coney Barretts. This is not the first I've seen nor the last I will. I've seen flashes of her in friends, those I truly love, acquaintances, and my town that supports her. I've heard this record before. Each time the words etched into it are empty.
Because
Because
Amy Coney Barrett cannot look me in the eye and tell me I'm less than. She cannot look me in the eye and say I'm 3/5 of a person, that climate change isn't real. She skirts around it. She doesn't believe in her empty, bullshit lies enough to say them to my face. And that hurts.
If you're going to desecrate me have the fucking moxie to say it to my face. Don't sit and hide behind "originalism," "sexual preference," and "debate." Say the fucking words. I'm strong. I can take it.
Say the fucking words Amy.
You can't though, can you? Why is that?
Say the fucking words Amy.
You can't though, can you? Why is that?
Your lies are empty. They are sin along with your actions. Your kids should be ashamed of your actions. God is. America is. And so are you. Because you won't even say what you believe out loud.
We know you're a science denier, a heterosexist, OK with upholding racism.
We know.
We know you're a science denier, a heterosexist, OK with upholding racism.
We know.
We have seen people like you before. You make life hell for people, put your knees on our necks. You murder us. And yet we still rise, we fucking get back up. Because we are true to who we are, we will not let your hate, your lies defeat us. We're brave enough to say what we
believe in and own who we are.
Amy Coney Barrett is trying to paint a picture of herself that isn't intimidating or beholden to racism. But she is. And she knows she's wrong. She herself said nobody in her positon should be confirmed.
Yet, her silence tells us she's a fraud.

And that's what bothers me the most. You get to be a fraud, to seem unassuming and falsely presume innocence behind your blanket of lies, religion, and privellege. Your targets don't get to hide. We're forced to fight.
We'll win. We always eventually do. We'd win a hell of a lot
We'll win. We always eventually do. We'd win a hell of a lot
faster though if the Amy Coney Barretts of the world exposed who they really are without hiding. Because even they can't truly stand who they are. They're too afraid to say it.
