Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Every day I’ve been getting angrier when I think about how maga, the so called alpha male bros, always punch down at people who are less fortunate or struggling.

This isn’t manliness. It’s cowardly, it’s shameful, and it makes you look like a tiny little douche face

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won her election two weeks ago. Republicans refuse to seat her in Congress.

Trump Pentagon pick had been flagged by fellow service member as possible 'Insider Threat' Pete Hegseth, the Army National Guard veteran and Fox News host nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Defense, was flagged as a possible “Insider Threat” by a fellow service member.

apnews.com/article/trum... Pentagon pick had been flagged by fellow service member as possible 'Insider Threat'

From his mad ravings to the generals meeting yesterday (transcribed in @hcrichardson.bsky.social's newsletter this morning). This kind of shit is what they're trying to hide:

Hegseth’s comments are part of a backlash against the #Me Too Movement. They are supremely stupid and will open an invitation for some to rape with impunity. This is part and parcel of the bad old days when victims had few options. And It undoes much of the hard work of the last decades. 7/

WE must acknowledge that rape exists in many forms (ex: not all perpetrators are male, not all victims are female), rape has many motives (ex: dominance/power, punishment, sexual desire), and rape (like sex) may be a complicated and confusing experience. It can be difficult to recognize. 6/

It is especially difficult for male rape victims to speak about their rape. Rape Myths include “real men can’t be raped” and “It’s just sex.” Many rapists will seek the opportunity for dominance and satiation wherever they can find it. The power structure of the military can encourage rape. 5/

Most rapists are men and most victims are women, but approximately ½ of the military rape victims experiencing PTSD are male (there are more men in the military). The vic is shocked & surprised, the perp uses his authority and power to intimidate the vic into “compliance” THERE IS NO CONSENT. 4/

Most rapes do not match the stereotype of a “Real Rape” script = A male, who is a stranger, suddenly and violently attacks a female who is alone (frequently outdoors at night). The victim fights back or freezes with fear. The vast majority of rapes are between people who know each other. 3/

(from ABC News) “As the uniformed officers sat stone-faced, Hegseth said too often military leaders were "walking on eggshells." …"No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations," he told the officers.” 2/

Hegseth’s invitation to rape: His recent speech to Military Officers opened the door to rape in the military (actually, re-opened the door). The power structure in the military makes it difficult for subordinates to question superiors & gives the rapist the opportunity & means to perpetrate rape. 1/

Well, if we’re going to prosecute people for lying to Congress…

tl;dr: Fascism, in a very literal sense, is for dead-end losers.

This is a clear effort to harass and intimidate a Democratic candidate before the election. 2026 will be even worse.
