reactionaries sell “housewife” as an aspirational lifestyle choice, but the people selling it, from TikTokers to senators, are by definition not housewives. that’s because what they’re really endorsing isn’t being a housewife per se, it’s the subjugation of women within the household

The results of my investigation are shocking. If data brokers can help extremists target misinformation to patients at Planned Parenthood, right-wing prosecutors in red states could use that same information to put women in jail.

If you want a good example of how "free speech" is often used as a banner for censoring speech, ask yourself how a corporation can give untold sums of money to super PACs because "money is speech" but you can't donate to a bail fund to to literally free protesters from jail
