The few democrats that exist in the Tennessee legislature were removed from their committees for protesting against the corruption, the hostile takeover, and obvious racism and transphobia by their colleagues. Tennessee is a Jim Crow state.

Tennessee just signed into law the TRANS DATA COLLECTION bill.

If you spend your money in Tennessee, you are funding the hate.

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”

Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

In this chapter, satire turns sharper as Babe sees how obedience is worn, enforced, and sold as virtue. Speech is twisted. People silenced, but money earned... for some. Beneath the polished language of order lies a system built on silence, fear, and spectacle.

"účelově  tato politička svojí celoživotní neoliberální politikou vytváří společenské podmínky k vytvoření stresu, prekarizace rodin, nedostupného bydlení, prostě prostředí, které je spouštěč ke všem závislostem, a potom si vybírá tyto strašlivé kauzy a vše svaluje na individuální chyby naprosto přetížených sociálních pracovníků"

"Teď se, vážené kolegyně a kolegové, opravdu hraje o budoucnost sociální práce v této zemi. Jde o to, zda se vrátíme k praxi sociálního útlaku”, na které se tak těší velká skupina tzv. MAGA OSPOD"
