When was the last time someone was dragged out of your house ?

Like before many of you talk this BS

But blunt as hell when was the last time someone was dragged out of your house?

And it's not even that they "expand" the definition. They just finally let you read the dictionary they've been using all along.

Any time you hear the word "degeneracy" as something to attack, you need to hear it in the mouth of the most hateful, bigoted person you can imagine

This order doesn't just ban trans people from the military. It states that this administration believes trans people lack "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" and that being trans "is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member."

People are responding to stress and trauma differently, with very real assessments of their limits .

Folks will be doing different things than you , because they live different lives to you.

Honestly one of most chilling parts of this fascist rise is watching journalism stumble around the point without ever finding it like Mr. Magoo dodging every calamity around a construction site.

The implications are entirely clear. They're burning the planet to line their own pockets.

President Trump is making energy a top priority on his first day in office, pledging to declare a national emergency – which no president has ever done before. The implications aren't clear.
Trump plans to declare a 'national energy emergency.' What does that mean?

Learning how to attend to your nervous system & recover from trauma responses is essential

Fascism loves to take advantage of our fear/trauma responses

Part of fighting fascism is fighting disconnection from self & communities

Let's be clear about what's happening.

Trump is freeing the violent paramilitary wing of his movement from prison in order to:

1) demonstrate that violence committed in service of his objectives will go unpunished, and

2) facilitate future acts of violence in service of his regime.

Now's as good a time as any to stop relying on mainstream media to confirm anything for you. That's how so many things get explained away, because the media didn't report on it. You know what you saw.
I am trying to find any news outlet covering an obvious nazi salute as what it was. NBC news has this as their entire coverage: "Musk then forcefully touched his heart, before raising his hand and saluting supporters." WHAT KIND OF SALUTE MOTHERFUCKERS

MAGA and Corporate Media: That wasn't a Nazi salute that was just a Roman salute. Also, that isn't goose-stepping, that's just a dance move. Oh, and that's not a swastika but just an old Indian symbol for good luck.

We're going to normalize Nazi rhetoric, symbols, slogans, conspiracies and eugenics within 2 weeks. I predicted this would happen by 2024 a few years ago, and I take no joy in being right about it.

Corporate media will sanewash it. You think I'm being hyperbolic but you're not paying attention.

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now.

Look for the helpers.

Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable.

Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement.

Join them, if you can.

bumping this from three weeks ago in light of Elon Musk busting out a LITERAL FUCKING NAZI SALUTE at inauguration
*Elon Musk goes out in public wearing a t shirt that says “I am non-ironically a Nazi”*

Mainstream media: what an inscrutable, mysterious man. Whatever could he mean by this
Elon Musk has changed his X profile.

His avatar is now Pepe the Frog, a mascot adopted by white supremacists.

His name is a Latinisation of “Kek”, a phrase used by neo-Nazis.

Musk has also backed AfD in Germany, the political home for racists.

The man is telling us explicitly what he’s about.
