So your response to a neocon christofascist plan is to retaliate with your own neoliberal fascist plan?

P24 was just a compendium of all plans stemming from the 1940s New Christian Right. It wasn't made up by Heritage Foundation in 2020.

You can't reform or vote away fascism. Abolition or nothing.

Gunn made jokes about babies in blenders. Do you have links for the pedo jokes? I never saw anything about that, but Dan Harmon made pedo jokes and was called out around that same time.

I find it interesting that we know the monetary value of museum artefacts when they are stolen but not when indigenous communities want their stuff back.

After a lifetime of rabid criticism, I have to admit The Beatles are actually the greatest rock group in history. Truly. Such an inspiration.

My excitement about the launch of my Substack is only surpassed by my adoration of publications, politicians, etc. that fail to provide alt text on their image posts! 😘

DESECRATION OF THE SACRED LIKE IT WASN'T BUILT ON STOLEN LAND AND BUILT USING SLAVE LABOR?

John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social · 2d

This renovation, like so much of this authoritarian regime’s work, is about the desecration of the sacred, about leveling the legacy of American Democracy and demoralizing those who’ve spent their lives contributing to it. It is intentional propaganda.

“America” as we knew it has outlasted its use. You know it. We all know it. Work on processing that. Quickly. Because time is of the essence.

Andrew Callaghan (Channel 5) is a racist.

C5 got increasingly conservative until it became a platform for pandering to AnCaps, Libertarians, & incels.

His recent comments on Portland protesting the "right" way & constant both sides bad rhetoric just embolden reactionaries.

Beware white moderates.

Cass @casslynch.bsky.social · 2d

No. Y'all lost those wars because y'all maintained systems of white settler supremacy & believed systemic "reform" would make fascism vanish.

Dixiecrats won the Civil War.
Nazis won WWII.
Necrocapitalism won the Cold War.

Abolish these systems. Abolish imperialism. Or we all perish.

Joshua Holland @joshuaholland.bsky.social · 3d

We are retroactively losing the Civil War, WWII and the Cold War thanks to white identity politics.

It is a useless Draconian skill.

Many organizers across the US at NK protests are asking CA voters to support the ballot measure, yes. And the events in CA feature Yes on Prop 50 tables.

Cass @casslynch.bsky.social · 7d

No Kings organizers are tabling for Prop 50. Y'all are marching for voter suppression.

We are going to make zero fucking progress re: resistance if y'all sensationalize & focus on every single little fascist action.

"Remigrate is Nazi rhetoric!" No shit. All of their rhetoric is & always has been b/c Nazis were inspired by US settler colonialism.

Stop wasting time clutching pearls.

In some instances, positions of power were already filled by Trump cronies or members of the christifascist core. Like PBS.

I really need folks to understand that mass layoffs and departmental shutdowns are happening because corporations refuse to fund themselves. They'd rather cave to the administration's demands than reach into their own pockets to fund what they're claiming are essential, necessary positions.

Used the term "fat" as a neutral descriptor in class this morning & I cannot describe the feeling of having discussions in which a character on-screen could be described by students as "fat" w/o squirming in seats or treating it like a slur.

Fat is not a bad word. 💜🖤 (purple & black heart emojis)

Re-districting to suppress votes is always fascist. It is antithetical to democracy and I'm seeing folks proudly post photos of their ballots which turns my stomach.

Clown 4-panel meme showing stages of applying clown make-up and a wig. P1 reads, "Vote Blue No Matter Who!" P2, "Gov. Newsom trolling Trump is progressive action!" P3, "Gerrymandering & voter suppression are democracy in action!" P4, "Vote Yes On Prop 50!"

Cool. Thanks for being extra precise while you waste water!

Horseshoe theory is fascist nonsense. Use of "extreme left" makes me think this is a shitlib.

Who is out here being soft on King Groyper?

David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 12d

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

White people on the left seriously act like people of color made up racism to sow division & if we can just get in line & absolve them of their privilege we can all get back to the class war.

History Channel doing an Ancient Aliens marathon today is all you need to see to know it's complete bullshit now.

I missed when it was 24/7 WWII documentaries.

Cass @casslynch.bsky.social · 12d

Note: I dont use the term "lynching" bc it decontextualizes & promotes a false narrative that white Southerners hanged the men. It was a large group of Creole, Cajun, Native, & white folks. Tensions were over Italians being the first adopted white race. (2/2)

New Orleans Apologizes for 1891 Lynching of Italian-Americans

Eleven people accused of killing the city’s police chief were murdered by a vigilante mob

Cass @casslynch.bsky.social · 12d

Columbus Day was created after the Italian mafia demanded a formal apology & amends for the hanging of Italian men in New Orleans (1891).

The US government was afraid of possible riots, boycotts, & economic loss, so they used W. Irving's poem to recreate C's image.

Been seeing criticism of WWII/antifa comparisons dismissed as disingenuous b/c vets supposedly didn't identify as antifa.

My WWII vet grandpa was anti-fascist & taught me to hate em just the same.

He was a recovery diver & every wreck intensified that hatred.

For Israel, too. (l/u: uss liberty)

Two photos of my grandpa during his career as a NAVY recovery diver. Left is his team pulling a wrecked plane from the ocean. Right is him suited-up before a dive, sitting surrounded by 2 of his team. I think these were both taken around 1963.

That's shitlib settler complacency talking.
