This is an avenue. I’ve been thinking about a lot as of Weight and both actual Republicans who’ve been disaffected and Democrats who just want to yell at Republicans in a way that sounds plausible where we can overwhelm their ability to counter message this. Literally flood their zones.

So, USAID trying to stop Ebola outbreaks is an inexcusable waste of tax dollars; NSA employees bonding in forums made for employee bonding is a fireable lapse in judgement; and hey, let’s, as a party in power in all three branches of government, take a moment to Rick Roll the nation would be great.

Creating spaces for employees to bond and then using that bonding to punish them is absolutely deplorable.

The sociopaths at the GoP have chosen their target community. Once they disappear trans identity they will come for the LGB community. And they are already gunning for the next group to disenfranchise: women in general. The need for scapegoats transcends any sense of decency or humanity.

![We are a collective of Black feminists who have been meeting together since 1974. [1] During that time we have been involved in the process of defining and clarifying our politics, while at the same time doing political work within our own group and in coalition with other progressive organizations and movements. The most general statement of our politics at the present time would be that we are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression, and see as our particular task the development of integrated analysis and practice based upon the fact that the major systems of oppression are interlocking. The synthesis of these oppressions creates the conditions of our lives. As Black women we see Black feminism as the logical political movement to combat the manifold and simultaneous oppressions that all women of color face.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pum3nk6m6xqwqw5e7v5wcbgu/bafkreidzesq5olvkknh2m43tbqprwrzvyxsybel3e2ulgmzvrox2i3rwp4@jpeg)

Talia Lavin’s book “Culture Warlords” and Michael Kimmel’s book “Angry White Men” are both excellent backdrop to where we are now.
There is no meaning to that salute beyond "I want to murder millions of people." I see it as a direct threat and an unforgivable depravity. No scrim of purported irony is gonna lessen that. It is a gesture solely for sick, murderous fucks
i keep seeing the right argue that the nazi salutes are "trolling." i think there's some truth to that, but know what exactly is being mocked. they aren't mocking the idea that they could be nazis, they're mocking the idea that they should care one way or the other.
