I would say the same of US "Politician Worship".

With extreme severity.

Is this how Mormons will "keep the peace" with Christian Nationalists who don't consider Mormons to be Christians?
Death Camps of Latter Day Taints?
Tell your little "elders" to stay away from me with their missionizing bullshit.

MAGA = VERMIN.

#OtD 24 Oct 1975 90% of women in Iceland went on general strike for equality with men. Working women stayed home, and house workers refused to cook, clean and look after children. Today Iceland has the lowest gender inequality in the world stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9692...

The audacity of people who pretend that everything that's going on now came down to a vote is astonishing. It ignores the culpability of BOTH parties in setting the precedents currently being weaponized by fascism. It's like nothing ever happened, and all was well with the world before 2025.

Definitely, it was.

Antonio Gramsci was right then, and his words are true now.

"Patriot" is a tainted word to me.

In calling out Cuomo for only visiting a mosque AFTER he lost to a Muslim candidate, Mamdani perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with Centrist Dems. They are:
•Elitist
•Reactionary
•Out of touch
•Transactional
•Consultant driven
•Offended when shown how to do better
They’ve learned Nothing since 2016

Everything is terrorism in Trump’s America But don’t call that fascism. That would be bad.

"Trump’s anti-anti-fascism orders distort not just words like terrorism, violence, and fascism, but also the law, how the federal government is organized, and what the Constitution establishes as the foundational principles of this country."

it feels really shitty to see all the things we warned of coming true so swiftly. let me be honest and say that I feel no I-told-you-so smugness because I knew how shitty it could get and I didn’t want this for us and I just feel so sad and scared.

It's happening again.

They would have to arrest themselves, then.
The miscreants.

Live in denial of reality if you prefer, but not only you will pay the bill.
Your children will.
Your present obtuse stance either won't buy them a single worthwhile minute - or it will buy them Hell on Earth.
Remember these words if you roll over like a wet dog in the cold.

“Even When They Gas Us": Hundreds Brave Tear Gas, Pepper Balls to Protest ICE Investigative reporting about corporate malfeasance and government wrongdoing, analysis of national and world affairs, and cultural criticism that matters.

Today, 100s peacefully gathered outside the ICE detention facility in Broadview, IL—only to be met with violence. At one point, agents shot tear gas into the crowd, with young children visible and present.

Power is ours if we insist upon that when we're on the back foot.

Know if you don't already know, that however terrible you may feel now, that for most, these emotions swirling about you tend to move in cycles.
And if not, of course what I just said isn't necessarily universal, if you feel like the odd one out.
I know how that can be too.
Strength. 🖤
