This should be a salient reminder of the "back" to which we refuse to go now with Harris-Walz on the ticket:

It's 2024, and there are STILL many women in the US terrified that their husband may know they voted for Harris. Though votes are secret, the fact that many women fear their Trump-voting husbands may discover they voted for Harris tells us a lot about our culture and what lots of men want to bring it back to.

Mega Zoom calls have been a major driver of support and fundraising for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, starting with a group of 44,000 Black women who raised $1.6 million, just a few hours after Harris launched her bid for the White House. @19thnews spoke to some of the organizers and participants of calls for South Asian women, Latinas and white women. Next up: White Dudes for Harris, and the cross-coalition Women for Harris, both of which calls take place today (Monday).

"You are going to see your candidate subjected to the most blistering, vile & specious personal attacks based on her #race & #gender. The effort, to be sure, is aimed at villainizing her with those who are undecided. But it’s also intended to tear her down in your eyes; to distract & demoralize you; to dampen the high spirits that are driving you toward the one goal that is above all this presidential #election year — winning — which depends on #voting"

"To call a #Black woman a “Jezebel” hearkens back to America’s #racist & #misogynistic #history of casting Black women as insatiably sexual, which served to justify slaveholding men’s systematic sexual #assault of enslaved #women. But for right-wing white #Christians... to say a woman has a “Jezebel spirit” is also to say she is a danger to them, a barely human being hell-bent on seducing men to their destruction"
