So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change:
– ignore warnings of experts
– buy into bullshit "alternative explanations"
- read "don't worry" media op-eds
– deny it will really be that bad
– start seeing major evidence
– hope somebody does something
– ignore warnings of experts
– buy into bullshit "alternative explanations"
- read "don't worry" media op-eds

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is an important observation. An authoritarian regime may be pushed from power, but the scars and stains it leaves behind last decades. Spain and Chile still live under the shadow of Franco and Pinochet and there are countless other examples.
🚨🚨"It is hard to predict how this will end, other than badly. It will take years to rebuild America’s constitutional checks and balances, institutions, and international standing, but possibly decades to restore political trust." Excellent by @alexhh.bsky.social on the #LA military deployment:

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Many men cling to the Bible, or the Quran, not from Faith, but because it flatters their illusion of male superiority and ‘justifies’ their control over women.
Sadly millions of women, inadvertently, perpetuate this farce by sticking to religion.
