have a seat my son

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu. 

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu — the American political reality that proves REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!

Another version of this saying is “If you don’t have a seat at the table; then you are on the menu.” Meaning: there are a lot of people who are going to get rights, privileges, and tax cuts at the expense of front line workers and people living on the margins.

This is most easily seen in areas where both gerrymandering and redistricting are used to disenfranchise minority voters.

Another area where this is seen is in the backlash against a woman’s right to choose. As of September 9th 2023, the young women coming of age in my family have fewer reproductive and healthcare options than did the generation that crossed into womanhood ahead of them.

Representation Matters and if you don’t have a seat at the table you are on the menu; indeed, if you don’t have a seat at the table you ARE the menu!
Representation matters: If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu.

If you don't have a seat at the table; you are on the menu. 

If you don't have a seat at the table; you are on the menu. — A statement used in minority communities to reflect the reality that representation matters.
Vote for people who represent you and represent your interest because: If you don't have a seat at the table; you are on the menu.

Why don't you have a seat? 

The command used by Chris Hansen, of Dateline NBC, before publicly humiliating and destroying would be child molestors on national television. No matter how much the child molestor wants to run, for reasons unknown to man, he cannot leave and always takes a seat.
Chris Hansen: Why don't you have a seat?
Child Molestor: Oh shit! I swear I wasn't going to do anything with that 13 year old boy. I have to go now!
Chris Hansen: Why don't you have a seat right over there.
Child Molestor can't help himself, and has a seat.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
