Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Anti-vaccine lies don’t kill children.
The parents that fall for them do.

Saying the F word isn’t “hatred.” Voting against the human rights of others while saying “Jesus loves you,” is. And not knowing the difference is a part of that “white privilege” you pretend isn’t real.

Evil has never been presented as evil. It always puts on the false cloak of goodness and morality, and does evil things

No-Fault Divorce wasn’t legal in every state until 2010.

Once passed, suicide rates among women dropped 20% (with no drop for men).

Christian Extremists and Republican politicians would literally rather women DIE than be able to escape their control.

We may not have a functioning democracy, but we do have spite.

put it in the chyron hall of fame

Racists used to call the “social gospel” a heresy and false doctrine.

Now they call it the “sin” of empathy.

Jesus just called it “loving your neighbor.”

No one cares WHY you’re a Nazi.

If they ACTUALLY realize the mistake they’ve made, they’ll understand why they were called names. Stop coddling them.

Missouri voters approved a constitutional amendment legalizing abortion but it is still inaccessible in Missouri.

Now Republican lawmakers are set to upend abortion rights altogether with HJR 54.

True then. True now. Thank you, Willem Arondeus.

In four years they’re going to look around and say, “See, everything was fine.”

Because they’re straight white Christians. They weren’t paying attention the first time. They’re not paying attention now. They won’t be paying attention then.

Only they’re more reprehensible and complicit each time.

My grandmother was a US nurse in WW2.
Her son became a fascist.

If your family has lost every last drop of your respect, find another role model.

Or just become one yourself.

“Refugees for thee not for me.”

Even pointing out their hypocrisy feels like legitimizing their lies, to play their game and pretend they ever cared.

They never did.

“I thought you wanted cheaper eggs?”
“I thought you wanted to protect women/children?”
“I thought you cared about law enforcement/veterans?”
“I thought you followed Jesus?”

It was NEVER about eggs, children, vets, or Jesus. It was about racism and power.

This is how images of antifascists posing with sheets of pasta came to depict resistance.

The problem is White Christian Nationalism. Not feminism, DEI, or spaghetti.

In fascist Italy, Mussolini banned pasta.

Hilariously bad idea, but he wanted to nationalize the economy- rely on Italy’s rice, not imported flour.

The propaganda, however, was a masculinity crisis. “Pasta was making men soft” and threatening the social order.

The govt issued macho cookbooks.

Hard no. Maybe he’ll say it was just a joke but you can’t put the FBI in the hands of someone who thinks this is funny.

Congrats. You played yourself.

The purge/replacement with Heritage Foundation cultists has begun/continues.

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court announced it will hear a case that will determine if an Oklahoma public charter school can operate as a religious school.

This case could have significant implications for the separation of church and state.

Stuff of literal nightmares. I grieve for the children of the next generation and all those trapped in the world I grew up in.

Jesus fuckedy fuck fuck Christ

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.
