@chuckporter.bsky.social this seems like it would be interesting to you (I'm fascinated that London in 1300 was about the size of Roanoke!!!)
Roanoke, VA (for example) has a higher murder rate than 14th-century London!

Yeah but “boy mom” culture effectively deputized millions of white moms (but not just white ones) to politically align with this administration’s patriarchal vision. So it did what it was supposed to do.

Highly recommend the novel Hell Is A World Without You if you are a millennial and grew up enmeshed in evangelicalism.

Also recommend it if you don’t understand white Christian nationalism at all. Those of us raised in this culture saw this current political moment from a mile away. @jasonkirk.fyi

Let me be even more explicit.

Last March, I was part of a team of rangers who coordinated and executed the midnight helicopter rescue of a father and daughter stranded in six-foot snowdrifts 10,000 feet up Wheeler Peak.

Was that "efficient"? I don't know. But I know we saved two lives that night.

What Elon Musk did is ILLEGAL. He is a private citizen. They are refusing to arrest him simply because he is a rich white man. That’s it. He is not gonna destroy those records. He doesn’t care about the law. Hell, he’s a fucking foreigner. He doesn’t care about the laws of his HOME country or ours

The media is really under playing how violent the manifesto was. I was initially under the impression it was just a warning of collapse, not a violent call for the military to form death squads and kill Democrats. www.fox5vegas.com/2025/01/03/l...

Louisiana was the first state to introduce this legislation and national outrage is what saved Louisiana women from this fate when they introduced this bill (they had to voluntarily pull it it was so bad).

Fight back y’all
6 MAGA extremists have introduced a bill that would allow South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about SC H5357, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back: www.qasimrashid.com/p/s-carolina...
