An unqualified former Fox host, accused in an affidavit of being "abusive" toward his second wife, of being perpetually drunk, and allegedly screaming "Kill all Muslims! Kill all Muslims!" just got confirmed as the US Defense Secretary (!) by a tie-break vote in the Senate.

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.

Usually teach Lord of the Flies at the end of the year but decided to move it up to February because, yeah, I dunno, felt like a good time to explore fascism and masculinity as brutality.

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states.

To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

Disgraceful that Hegseth will probably be confirmed. As usual, violence against women? Not a deal breaker. He doesn’t even respect or support women in combat roles even though they are proven to save lives. No surprise in this hell. Unqualified. Abusive. Loser.

Notice the only campaign promises Trump is following through on are the ones that hurt marginalized groups of people.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

I hate it here. Major ick. This whole thing reeks of a set up. Even if we get TikTok back, at what cost? The integrity of the community we’ve built is ruined by these oligarchs kissing up to whoever holds power. I’m disgusted.

How do people not see that defending Trump and his cabinet picks and the media groups who are bowing to him is synonymous with supporting the Death Eater take over of Hogwarts. It’s like we read the same books but with different reading comprehension ability…

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.

Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.

The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

Sorry? But if any other nation’s soon to be leader was serious touting the idea of taking over other sovereign nations it would be see as an act of war. What are we even talking about here!???
