Those of you who are out here fighting fascism. Don't allow them to repackage your your fight as "hate" - It's christian nationalism's top trick from their playbook.

Here's the truth behind that mindset and also the science.

When they say we’re hateful, what they really mean is we stopped fearing them. — By Dr. Leo Croft

For centuries, white America caged others to feel human. Now MAGA is trapped in its own rotting kennel. — By Dr. Leo Croft

Of then this ALL makes sense now but is not surprising given who employed her.

It seemed so staged. I felt like Jeffries started talking before he even stepped into the hall. It was legit like someone yelled "action"

Dr. Leo “Stix” Croft @drleocroft.bsky.social · 1d

Wait… please tell me you’re joking?! Did she really go to a fucking diploma mill? Please tell me this is true!

Pam Bondi, Esquire (adjacent…)

Hell yeah! This is it right here!! Love this!

Dr. Leo “Stix” Croft @drleocroft.bsky.social · 1d

Did anyone else watch Pam Bondi solidify her prison time in her Senate Committee Hearing?

What a shit show. There's no way in hell this woman passed the Bar Exam. DEI A.G. is exposed.

That's why I can't get behind all of this weak shit Schumer and Jeffries keep doing in Washington. That little "confrontation" Hakeem had in the hall the other day was meh and still long overdue.

Lets have more of this conversation shall we? It's time. "Why are they still so mad?" That's all Joy Reid wanted to know. MAGA "won" yet they're still running around literally mad at the world.

Weird...

Language always matters as well as the frames we place the chapters of our lives. All of my life, I've felt the narrative was that white supremacy was holding me "back." Now I realize that "back" isn't accurate, "held down" is.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims to Have a Change of Heart: What a Weird Way to Say That She’s Lost…

Dr. Leo “Stix” Croft @drleocroft.bsky.social · 2d

I’m with Sammie here! I thought Prtitzker was about that life? Seems like he’s all talk and performance.

Unlike the Mayor of Chicago actually standing on business.

🖤💋SammieSam💋🖤 @sammiestsam.sheshed.rocks · 2d

There are many things JB Pritzker should be doing. For example, he should have the state police protecting protestors.

Instead, we have this BS.

He could call on the Illinois NG. He could ask other blue states to help by sending their NG to Illinois. Why is he not doing this?

Only stupidity could have made MTG think anybody with a brain would fall for her "Change of Heart" bullshit.

Let me say this with my whole chest... Marjorie Taylor Greene can sit right TF down with this "seeing the light" bullshit she's trying to pull. NO THANKS lady!

Because of weak leadership scared to make the call and play the same game MAGA is playing.

Dr. Leo “Stix” Croft @drleocroft.bsky.social · 4d

We already know they’re going to block them. I know they have to show up still so that it’s documented, I just wish these officials could show up with their own state muscle.

We were never “held back.” We were held down. There’s a difference. “Held back” sounds like a race. “Held down” sounds like what it was — survival with somebody’s foot on your neck. And we still built everything they brag about.
