This is exactly why we need to stop glorifying cis white men in politics. We will never break out of this frustrating cycle—this endless inability to push the needle on progressive policies—if we keep entertaining this nonsense.

My point is that Steve Bannon is not interested in coming to a mutual agreement or finding solutions to common problems, he wants to impose his will onto others while generating as many clicks as possible. I mean, what are you even fucking doing, Gavin?

✖️ Actively calls for the dismantling of the administrative state
✖️ Works to spread far-right extremism across Europe and the U.S.

…And much more, of course.

✖️ Ran Breitbart, a white nationalist alt-right (his own words) “news” blog that helped set the misinformation hellfire of 2016 ablaze
✖️Went to prison for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas related to his role in the January 6th insurrection

Since Gavin clearly doesn’t understand who he’s dealing with, let me remind him. Beyond a long history of depraved and illegal behavior, Steve Bannon:

✖️ Was Trump’s chief strategist during the most vile parts of his 2016 campaign and a key mastermind behind the early days of his administration

This will amount to nothing more than Steve Bannon’s team curating propaganda to funnel more victims into his populism-to-extremism pipeline.

Newsom either sold out or is the most foolish man alive at this point. He is an egomaniac if he walks into this without expertise in fourth-generation warfare or a deep psychological understanding of how to deal with individuals who have treated politics as spiritual warfare for literal decades.

I hate that Brittany Pettersen has to fight this fight for families everywhere, but I can’t think of a better person to take this on. Just as she fights for my right to remain comfortably childfree, she will fight for families & mothers to have autonomy, empowerment, and liberty.

I’d ask how she was doing or if she would be ok with a picture or a video and I was always met with a smile and genuine engagement.

She was on that campaign trail explaining the stakes clearly to Coloradans and Americans alike. I kept being surprised at each campaign event when she would keep showing up day after day despite being more and more pregnant!

The point is that Representative Pettersen has always shown up despite the circumstances. During the election she was in a safe district. She could have probably gotten by with a few appearances, shook some hands, and went back home. That’s not what she did though.

Let me start by saying this full carousel could be packed with photos & videos I took of her on the campaign trail but I’d have to dig out my old phone and get the footage because I keep forgetting to transfer all those old files over lmao. And that’s not the point.

Tolerance must end where intolerance begins. If we fail to act, history has a way of repeating itself.

Do not comply. Do not look away. Demand better from our elected officials. 7/7

But democracy gives us the opportunity to make a different choice. This isn’t about silencing disagreement—it’s about recognizing that fascism doesn’t “listen to both sides” its way into power. It exploits the goodwill of democratic societies until it can dismantle them from within. 6/7

We see a bunch of 19-year-olds holding the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data. And yet, those responsible still have the audacity to demand tolerance and compliance from us. 5/7
