Jon Kabat-Zinn
“Ultimately, it is our mindlessness that imprisons us. We get better and better at being out of touch with the full range of our possibilities, and more and more stuck in our cultivated-over-a-lifetime habits of not-seeing, but only reacting and blaming.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are

Kate Manne
“Smile, sweetheart” is an ostensibly less offensive remark, but it is expressive of the same insidious demand that a woman’s face be emotionally legible.”
Kate Manne, Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny

Kate Manne
“propose taking sexism to be the branch of patriarchal ideology that justifies and rationalizes a patriarchal social order, and misogyny as the system that polices and enforces its governing norms and expectations. So sexism is scientific; misogyny is moralistic. And a patriarchal order has a hegemonic quality.”
Kate Manne, Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny

Stacey Abrams
“Full citizenship rights are the bare minimum one should expect from the government. Yet, for two-thirds of our history, full citizenship was denied to those who built this country from theory to life. African slaves and Chinese workers and Native American environmentalists and Latino gauchos and Irish farmers—and half the population: women. Over the course of our history, these men and women, these patriots and defenders of liberty, have been denied the most profound currency of citizenship: power. Because, let’s be honest, that is the core of this fight. The right to be seen, the right to be heard, the right to direct the course of history are markers of power. In the United States, democracy makes politics one of the key levers to exercising power. So, it should shock none of us that the struggle for dominion over our nation’s future and who will participate is simply a battle for American power.”
Stacey Abrams, Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America

Stacey Abrams
“Voter suppression works its might by first tripping and causing to stumble the unwanted voter, then by convincing those who see the obstacle”
Stacey Abrams, Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America
