Badly Licked Bear

I'm sure he never said anything this racist in the presence of the esteemed Justice. Sure....

Confused as to which paramilitary, white supremacist fascist is beating you or your neighbor, today? The NYT is here to help!

You always have tremendous pony posture.

If there's one thing I'm sure that lower income and working class Americans have right now, it's an extra $12000 dollars to buy an electric car from a techno-fascist.

There's a lot that's not in this piece. wrote it on the plane, to process, basically.

There's things left out, like how it feels to use the bathroom in an American airport, which always feels like it's only a matter of time before something incredibly loud and horrible happens.

Notes on Flying While Trans in MAGA America The decline of empires is a helluva drug, isn't it?

I'm trans. I fly. I fly a lot. It sucks. It's starting to suck a lot more.

This is what it's like to fly for one trans person, and what it's been like for me for a while. I wonder what it's like for you? I wonder when my next detainment will be. I wonder what surprises lie in store for you and me.

THIS.

Get your heads out of the sand, folks.

Magical.

I think you won, Beltalowda.

"I confess! It's me, I'm the girlfriend of Antifa."

Noem: "You wouldn't know her, she goes to a different school."

Republicans will always be united under one banner, their overwhelming public humiliation fetish.

Or the legions of cisgender men who are all on Testosterone Replacement Therapy, now, but who pretend that it's not Gender Affirming Care, because insecurity is a helluva drug.

If you're still not sure about what's going down, I'd, like, really appreciate it if you acknowledged that transgender Americans are in the process of witnessing our own genocide, and act accordingly, okay?

Post a cartoon character you most relate to.

Newsom has one job, being termed out of his office in California and positioning himself to be the next Republican President of the United States.

He's already made it clear that he's willing to sit down with and have a cordial conversation with a fucking fascist, what more do you need to know?

On the other hand, seeing who does and doesn't have a Ring let's me know who has already chosen the losing side and wants to take me down with them.

He's a 63 year-old man going on about how the virginity of actresses is one of his priorities.

Someone check his hard drive, immediately.

It doesn't matter what's said. It doesn't matter what the new policy is. That all could be a memo/email/Zoom. That's all secondary.

What matters is the demonstration of dominance and the power disparity between two incompetent jackasses and the nation's career military officers.

Okay, y'all....

This political theatre had two functions:

1. To demonstrate that when Hesgeth says "Jump," these folks jump.

2. To generate imagery of two losers in bad suits telling ALL of the career military officers "how it's gonna be."

Does no one understand dominance politics?

US culture doesn't reward people for 'having been right' about anything. In fact, this rarely matters. If you are powerful, it hardly matters whether you are wrong. Power rules everything around us.

Hey, hey, hey, don't forget the Dark Haired Girl(s)!

If the epistemology involved were colonial, yes, but it's an Indigenous epistemology, which doesn't treat even colonizers as "illegal," that is relevant, here.

Because there's no convincing some folks that ethics even exist, I just keep a long list of names of people I will never work with or hang out with again, you know?

Malort has entered the chat.

They can't take it with them....

Imagine putting on riot gear to go protect yourself from donuts on string.

Hugggs.

The most feared unit of the American military, the special house party operations group, Full Force.

They're sending Full Force to Portland?

BRB, gotta go transcribe the entire text of Susan Stryker's "Dungeon intimacies: The Poetics of Transsexual Sadomasochism" into a belt of 7.62mm NATO, in ink made with an Estradiol Valerate mixed with black lipstick.
