maybe now we can have a real conversation about how misogyny/patriarchy is:
1) Alive and well in progressive circles (see also Ezra Klein wanting to jettison abortion rts and trans folks)
2) A core feature of fascism aka this is carrying MAGA water for them.

1. Over Thanksgiving, texts from Dem. Sen Ruben Gallego leaked where he repeats far-right talking points on masculinity, lamenting that Democratic women "look like men."
Using far-right gender-panic rhetoric will not ingratiate the Democratic Party towards men.

Surrealism Against Fascism • EQUATOR
A century ago, artists who survived the trenches captured humanity’s capacity for destruction. What can they teach us about confronting the far-right in a new age of genocide?

Guys,
It looks like half of Texas is not seeking reelection. Troy's brother is going to run for his seat he is leaving. I think we can do better than that.

YES! Like the pictures of black lung and people dying of cancer on cigarette packs in Latin America.
Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.
Show what measles looks like.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history.
