Today, I just keep thinking of all the times I was scolded & harassed by conservatives & liberals alike for being too unyielding in my criticism of Republicans as irredeemably hostile to agency and consent; to the times I was called hyperbolic for calling them a party of abusers.

I just keep thinking of all the times, over the last 14 years, that I have been told that I should be more tolerant, when I was arguing that to indulge abusers was to empower their abuse.

I have been writing about politics, and resisting Republicans, at Shakesville for 14 years today. And if I had a dime for every time a misogynistic slur was unleashed at me because I refused to extend Republicans good faith they never earned, I would be a very wealthy woman.

Wealthy enough to buy my own Supreme Court justice, perhaps. Cough.
