"If we take away guaranteed rights — even by a bit — we make the most vulnerable in our society more vulnerable."

Again and again, people act like this technology is inevitable somehow, but it spits out absolute bullshit, is ludicrously expensive to operate, contributes to misinformation, and to fully utilize we would have to remake our whole power grid.

I just posted a little update on my deep dive into American Moment — one of the groups pushing Project 2025, that was funded thanks to help from JD Vance — with a bonkers new quote.

One of their founders explains how their aim, as Christian nationalists, is to seize power "by any means necessary" from the non-believers and child-less. https://www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-american-moment

J.D. Vance's Ties to a Project 2025 Group

American Moment is a hard-right effort to seize maximum power in Washington. Uh oh.

Bug-eyed and Shameless

Here's the spoof ad.

“You’re letting us get away with it, you dumb bitches” he adds mockingly. “All of our tricks worked. The world is a burning, out-of-control charnel house. The last generation to die of old age has already been born, and you still let oil executives freely show their face in public.”

Wow, this new Exxon ad is surprisingly candid.

Breathless wall to wall coverage of transphobia from Sunak, Starmer, and Farage, but nothing at all on the trans kids protesting their exclusion from health care.

Everything about Christian fascists is about trapping someone in a situation they don't want.

Their whole vibe is predatory, abusive, oppressive, and anti-liberatory.

Don't wanna be pregnant -- for any reason? Too bad. We're forcing you to give birth.

Don't want to be married to your jerk of a spouse? Too bad, suck it up, bucko. You married her - she's yours .... FOREVER.

Don't want to live life as the wrong gender? LOL, jokes on you, there are only 2 genders and you already have one.

Ugh. These people.

The Christian Right is just full of effing horrible people who should never be allowed to have power over anyone. Period.
