Where Our Money Goes

Observed. Archived. Avenged.

Follow the taxes. They tell the truth.

When women speak about patriarchy, we’re told it’s cultural. When we speak about violence, we’re told it’s private.

But when we follow the money, we find the real operating system.

Every tax dollar we pay — every paycheck deduction, every sales-tax cent — goes first to the illusion of protection.

Programs that exist to look like they defend women while, in practice, keeping us contained, erased, and dependent.

This isn’t accidental.

It’s deliberate design.
