republicans operate according to a moral economy where wealthy oligarchs and polluters deserve the collected prosperity of the nation because of their wealth. the job of the rest of us is to toil for their benefit.
Seriously: Who the fuck benefits from this, besides Joe Craft and his coal mining interests and a couple of big gas producers? Republicans are screwing over their constituents, American business interests, and our country's future in an epic way here.

The Trump administration is engaging in one of the broadest attacks on religious organizations in modern American history, and there is not a single peep from the right.
If the Biden administration had done this, it would be deemed proof of the Democrats' hostility to religion. But Trump is doing it, so his Christian allies turn against Christian ministries and gut their ability to serve the poorest of the poor. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Trump’s foreign aid demolition hits major Christian charities
In a closed-door meeting, U.S. officials touted their success in “zeroing out” foreign assistance, but the downsizing has clipped religious allies, too.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity.
All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

Yeah this wasn't on my radar until last summer's Paris Olympics and the meltdown on social media over the Algerian boxer. It made the connection for me how the trans women in sports freak out circles around to controlling all women. Absolutely morbid. And eye opening.
