I haven’t encountered anyone saying it yet, but this Kirkism—with its loyalty statements, doxxing (naming), purges, and fanaticism—smacks of a new and improved McCarthyism.

Weird bathroom selfie, whatever 😄
I can barely be bothered with hair anymore and short short feels so good, so freeing. I’m greedy for less,ha.
The amazing human being who cuts my hair and I talk about a lot of meaningful things. The territory we cover during an appointment would shock you 😅

I just watched that clip of the Fox “News” host saying homeless people should be given involuntary lethal injections. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.
Let’s be crystal fucking clear. That’s calling for genocide.
Not hyperbole. Fact.

Liberals were telling me that I was making stuff up and "the reason we lose elections" because of this kind of stuff as recently as two days ago
But I was told by the New York Times that marriage equality was a stunning success that succeeded because of its modest political goals.
Almost like the last two decades of progress were hollow assimilationism into a collapsing neoliberal order rather than actual liberation.

RIGHT NOW is likely a pivotal moment in US history. Dictators almost always take over capital cities, usually by force, to assert power and control.

Earlier today Donald Trump announced that he is requesting MPD to redirect resources, and plans to deploy the National Guard to DC.
This is a dangerous escalation for our communities. Here's what how everyone in DC can help our communities weather what's ahead. 🧵

We are in fascism.
All of this is happening right now.
We cannot fight as we would in a democracy. We must fight as if we are in a fascist regime because we are in one right now.
Everything we've got beloveds.
For each other, with each other.

When mayors tell their cities to stay inside, schools go to online classes, work places are empty because workers can't risk showing up, neighbors have to hide each other, and agents abduct people who make sustenance possible, it should be absolutely clear that fascism is right now, right here.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement to reclaim democracy — not through polite appeals to corrupted power, but through truth-telling, direct action, and organized resistance.
History shows it takes just 3.5% engaging in sustained, nonviolent resistance to spark real change.
And it’s already begun.

As always and especially now, our words matter. Don’t adopt the cult’s language.
Time to fight with everything we’ve got.
And those concentration camps like Alligator Auschwitz? It’s a rescue mission not an ask nicely to monitor the atrocity situation.

Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate.
Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies.
Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.

Currently rereading As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto.
During McCarthyism. Helps reading something from a time similar in many ways.
Julia railing: “It is horrible how people will use anything as a political monkey wrench and to hell with the country.”
