I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

While it shouldn’t be necessary, this is awesome. The movie is awesome, in the most ridiculously hilarious and disgustingly fun way imaginable.

A #SCOTUS justice citing Frankel’s The Dual State in a foot note should frighten the ever living fuck out of every single one of us. Pay closer attention and read the shit we’re sharing. #news #Fascism #Trump #Nazis

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to warn us about something. Are we listening?

Jackson enters her fourth year on the supreme court on Monday. As its fiercest liberal voice wary of Trump’s growing power, she faces an intense battle ahead

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

This EO literally says, “We’re fascist and you’ll now be arrested for being anti-fascist.” This is literally saying the thing they don’t want us saying. You are watching democracy die in realtime. #Fascism #ExecutiveOrder #Trump #MAGA

I’m #autistic but born during the #Tylenol murders so most people weren’t taking it. I’m sure the #HHS peer reviewed study is forthcoming. If y’all buy this pseudoscientific, anti-intellectual bullshit—don’t talk to me again. Stupid might now be airborne. #science #medicine #Intellectualism #autism

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

FOR THE FOLKS WONDERING WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE:

There is a direct ideological throughline between the "anti-CRT" movement/attacks on Black studies and the firing of Stephen Colbert and suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Not posting this to say "I told you so" but bc you must understand the storyline.

Virtually all incitement to political violence comes from the right.

Virtually all political violence comes from the right.

The right made a felon and rapist POTUS.

Meanwhile, the left keeps nominating for POTUS lawyers who believe in rule of law.

Do *not* let this timeline gaslight you.

Ever.

I very much doubt that Americans will ever again believe that our country has a native governing class… That’s not a bad thing.
