Dear Americans

sabotabbyI am so fucking sorry about your country. Dear Americans with uteruses, I'm thinking of you and raging for you.
The social contract, such that it ever was anything more than a myth, is broken. The sooner ordinary people realize that their minority of shrivelled old masters have never considered themselves bound by it, the better. The sooner ordinary people realize that this means they are not bound to it either, the better.
These so-called justices should never get to know a moment of peace now. If they are going to invade your ovaries and your privacy, all freedom-loving people should ensure that they do not have a private life. They have addresses, which you can find circulating around Twitter. These places should be considered public campsites and gender neutral washrooms. They go to restaurants, but they have lost the privilege to dine in silence, and their meals should not be spit free. They should be harassed and harangued like a terrified teenager trying to get reproductive health care at a Planned Parenthood. They should not be able to sleep in their beds at night with the vuvuzelas and the sound systems and the screaming.
Dear Americans I do not recommend sending bodily fluids through the mail but a tampon dipped in food colouring will probably have the desired emotional impact. If you find a politician that is particularly interested in the contents of your reproductive organs, why not show them?
These wizened old men are cowards. Violence may not be required. They are scared if you yell at them in public. This is something Democrats are afraid to do. Democrats still think that civility exists. Dear Americans, it does not. The time for being civil is long passed, if it ever existed.
Dear Canadians, I see you looking smug. You can cut it out right now. Indigenous women are still routinely sterilized against their will and their babies abducted. Black people still face higher maternal mortality. Abortion is impossible in large parts of the Maritimes and the North, even though it's in theory legal. The Tories, should they come to power, will be emboldened by the atrocity to the south. Do not make the mistake of believing they're beholden to consensus reality. They are not. They are every bit as vicious as American Republicans and if we don't stop them at the ballot box, we will have to stop them in far less convenient ways.
We can fight these monsters and win but the gloves need to come off.
