Nothing sums up America like a bunch of barely trained racist fuckboys given weapons and a mandate by a fascist kleptocracy, arresting a first nations woman by disregarding her ID on a day where the nation celebrates a 19th century nation-building myth about its first contact with indidgenous people

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

One homicidal white man has never been used as an excuse to criminalize all white men. We should not allow that to happen to immigrants in the aftermath of this DC shooting.

“Is anyone here carrying a gun?”
In @bmj.com I reflect on America’s relationship with guns, and why the leading cause of death for ages 1–17 is missing from MAHA’s child health plan. Whose freedom is being protected?

I do not want to hear a damn word about men being allies. As long as they stood there and did nothing, said nothing, they enable him and every woman knows they aren’t trustworthy either. Spare me the endless analyses about how hard men have it. They behave like this and get to be president.
“Quiet, Piggy”
Women heard him say it and saw him point that finger. Women who have been assaulted, cat called, insulted, demeaned, undermined, undervalued, and silenced by men weilding power like a sledgehammer.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
