And now the government is working overtime to do its best to kill everyone the confederate tantrum avatar people hate.

The South has finally risen again.
Millions must die.

And now the confederate tantrum avatar people have once again gotten their tantrum avatar president, and now the entire country is being ruled like one big confederate state.

Which is why it’s all shitty and fascist and stupid and full of Nazis.

That’s why things were shitty even before things were shitty.

Because certain parts of the country sent politicians to Washington to govern.

And other parts of the country sent avatars of their tantrums to Washington to fuck things up.

Turns out letting half the country spend centuries stewing in resentment against the other half was a bad idea.

Oopsies.

“How did we get here”

We got here because we let the former confederate states have political autonomy that they have proven unable to use in a responsible manner.

Like, there’s a lot of reasons we’re here now, but half-assing Reconstruction was the biggest one.

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize

US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says * Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with winning the peace prize? With hours to go until the announcement of this year’s Nobel peace prize, Norwegian politicians were steeling themselves for potential repercussions to US-Norway relations if it is not awarded to Donald Trump. The Norwegian Nobel Committee pointedly said on Thursday that it had reached a decision about who would be named 2025 peace prize laureate on Monday, several days before Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire under the US president’s Gaza plan.

Can’t believe Pete Davidson winds up looking the best out of this lot by just openly admitting he did it for the money.

If you think that seems unfair, it’s not. It’s how literally every other demographic in this country is treated.

“Not all cis white men”

Not *all*, but way more than there should be, and definitely *enough* to necessitate *something* in response to it.

There needs to be some kind of consequence.

I hope the defeat of fascism in America comes with some sort of sweeping societal change and restructuring that specifically disempowers cis white men.
Like, something that removes them from the upper echelons of political power ‘cause this can’t continue if the rest of us are going to survive.

A White Christian nationalist pastor argued recently on a right-wing podcast that the Bible--specifically Deuteronomy 21, about how a father must bring his rebellious son to the town square to be stoned--justifies state violence against Black boys and young men.

If I’m being serious this culture of violent bigotry is why they’re producing mass shooters at an incredible clip. “Righteous” violence against the Other is a celebrated and encouraged through line.

Final lesson for today, kids.

Why would conservatives do this?

You should know by now.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.
