   Three reminders:

   "Handmaid's Tale" has already been here the whole time, it was pointed at racialized women.

   #Racism is fascism that hasn't yet come for the white people.

   The #future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.

     What I want people to see is that these are three ways of saying the same thing.

     Fascism will always attack the most marginalized first, but it won't stop there.

     No one is safe in a fascist system. The only way for everyone to be safe, is whatever will safeguard the most #marginalized.

     Remember, every kind of marginalization is socially constructed, too.

     Vulnerability is not a natural artifact. Vulnerability comes from occupying a less-protected social status.

     If you're safe today, you might not be tomorrow. If anyone is unsafe, no one is safe.

     This is why it is in *your own self-interest* as a dominant-group member to intervene when someone from any marginalized group is targeted.
