Let’s be clear: The country is the United States of America, and it is the twentieth century, any time before the 1960s rights revolution - that’s the vision.
Mercilessly restore and entrench traditional hierarchies of race, gender, religion, and wealth - that’s the project. 5/
One of the most obvious facts regarding the GOP is that they have forgotten how to do anything constructive, apparently on purpose.
Yes... seems their goal today is to pursue things that show they have no admirable traits, values or virtues....

So let me get this straight
Missouri Talibangelicals will let you bear all the firearms you want
But women lawmakers can no longer BARE their human arms?
Do I have this right?! 🤦🏻♀️

I keep seeing articles, about people trying to violently overturn election results, that use phrases like “motivated by election lies”.
They aren’t motivated by lies, they are motivated by not liking the result. Repeating the lies just makes them feel powerful because it makes them part of the grift. They think they’re fooling people.
Blaming the lies lulls us into thinking that this is an education/disinformation problem which, if addressed, will eliminate the violence.
These folks aren’t deluded. They’ve learned from their leaders that violence and lying are the route to power.
For most of my life I thought these problems could be solved by education. I no longer do. As far as I can tell, about 30% of the population believes that getting away with grifts and bullying people is proof of power and leadership that should be respected, worshiped, and emulated.
We can’t educate these folks. We can only build a society that ensures that they cannot gain control. Unfortunately, the entire human race has largely failed to do so, and we’re suffering the consequences on a planetary scale.
Every day we act as though they don’t *know* that the elections were valid, is a day we risk losing the fight for democracy, equality, and a stable environment.
26 years ago, my Dad took his life. You are not alone. You are never alone. Send a message or pick up the phone and call. You’re worth it.
