comic strip where we see a vox pop mic with a voice off asking an elderly woman with a walking stick : "maam! what do you think is the cause of the trans epidemic of violence we're witnessing?" she replies : "what I'm witnessing is an epidemic of violence against the trans community. for a decade now, there has been a conscious effort by the far-right to rush and pin unrelated acts of violence on trans people in order to demonize them and weaken trans rights. The fact is that 98% of mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men, despite being less than half of the population. you don't see me advocating to round up and institutionalize cis men. A third of mass shootings on the planet take place in the U.S. while Americans only make up 5% of the world's population. The U.S. has a gun violence problem, not a trans one.

Four frame comic. In the first frame, a Viking with a ginger beard does a classic Trump pose. Text reads : when erik thorvaldsson, better
known as Erik the red for his
ginger beard, came back from
exile for murder, he purposefully
lied to everyone about the
island he ended up visiting.* Source says : as reported in the Greenlandic saga. Second frame shows a map of Greenland, covered in ice. Text reads : 
with the intent of misleading
people into following him into
his self-serving colonial
project, he named the island
Greenland, evoking fields,
pastures and bountiful harvest,
despite it being mostly covered
in ice year-long.
Third frame shows Trump doing the same pose as the Viking. Text reads : 
a thousand years later,
another criminal con artist,
also known for his orangeness,
is again lying to everyone
about this island.
Fourth frame shows a Greenlandic flag in the sunset. Text reads : 
when Trump repeats that owning
greenland/kalaallit nunaat is a
matter of national security despite
existing agreements that already
allow the u.s. to expand their
Military presence*, all I hear is
another mediocre man obsessed
with his legacy and lining his
own pockets.

If I had a dollar every time a mediocre man known for his orangeness lied about Greenland for his colonial project, I'd have two dollars

Sunday Nun-Day [Evening Mass]!

The Blood of Vol is known more as a 'cult' than a religion, at least by those outside of Karrnath.

Wynkashtai (Wynnie to her friends) is as devout as she is open minded now that she's out of the strict guidance of her superiors.

Cannabis works better than opioids for back pain, in two European studies Millions of Americans use weed to treat chronic pain, but there's little high quality research on whether it works. New findings suggest it can be effective for low back pain, on par with opioids.

In a pair of new studies, full spectrum cannabis containing 2.5 mg of THC with very small amounts of CBD and CBG (<0.1 mg), outperformed opioids in treating back pain. ๐Ÿงช

before being the obsession of
peter thiel and every favourite
podcaster of your incel cousin,
schmitt was the jurist who
came up with the theoretical
legal foundation for the
nazi party's power grab and
subsequent atrocities.
he wrote: "sovereign is he who
decides on the exception." he
believed that constitutional
democracies were facades for
the total power of the execu-
tive, since the legislative was
powerless during exceptional
times.
schmitt also wrote about
the friend-enemy distinction,
which he saw as the basis of
the politic. people are sorted
into groups, either with you or
against you, in a struggle for
survival. big incel vibes, I know.
in his view, liberalism
challenged that "natural order"
by restricting the power of
the executive and by easing
the distinctions with enemy
groups, which he thought led
to social paralysis and
racial decay.

Who is Carl Schmitt, the authoritarian political theorist that the New Right and the Neocons are obsessed with?

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out. (Picture: a chameleon)

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

Ways to resist fascism. Drawing of a megaphone : once you have properly identified fascist rhetoric, donโ€™t let it go unchallenged. Speak up when you witness attempts to normalize it. Picture of a book titled "resist". Knowledge is power. Learn, read, discuss about fascism and the ways fascist discourses can permeate culture and find its way in everuday conversations. Picture of someone doing a roman salute. Many hands are pointing at him. Laugh at fascists and their ideas. Take every opportunity to subject them to ridicule. The power people give them largely stems from sentimentaalinen of fear and inevitability, but they are all incompetent, insecure cowards. Picture of a button press. Most importantly, get involved in your community. Find roles for yourself and others. You might not topple a fascist government today, but you can find purpose and strength to live to fight another day.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

Itโ€™s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

Itโ€™s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israelโ€™s flagrant breaches of international law.

4 frame comic. someone off-frame with a mic is interviewing passersby. they ask a man in a suit and sunglasses : sir! do you think
the left's strategy
to call everyone
they disagree with
"nazis" is helpful
in any way?
well I
don't think
american
conservatism
or trumpism
are the same
as nazism.
they have similarities,
but I think maga has fresh
horrors in store that we
can't yet comprehend.
it's not nazism, but it's
their own brand of never-
seen-before, polyester-
clad, ai-generated slop
fascism.
I think the most similar
thing between "maga" and
"nazi" is that there will
come a day when they will
evoke an equal sentiment
of disgust in society.

title : This government shutdown didn't happen by accident. it happened by design.
4 frame comic. we see Russell Vought, Curtis Yarvin, Russell Vought again, and the White House. Text reads : 
russell vought is the director
of the u.s. office of management
and budget and the key architect
of project 2025. the nyt called
him "the man behind trump's push
for an all-powerful presidency."
project 2025 includes a roadmap
to achieve curtis yarvin's butter-
fly revolution, in which the
neo-reactionary leader advocates
for replacing non-partisan gov't
employees with loyalists, seizing
control of public assets and
centralizing power in a small
group of elites.
what vought aimed to do
was create the conditions
in which he could strip bare
what he calls the "unelected
fourth branch of government".
back in february, he instructed
agencies to prepare for mass
layoffs on sept. 30th.
this shutdown will give Trump
the power to bypass Congressional
oversight: Trump can just declare
which areas are considered
essential services, and ignore the
1974 law that prevents presidents
from withholding federal dollars.

this shutdown was the goal
all along.
