📌White, toxic masculinity is ruining America, and it’s about time white guys started speaking out about it.

📌This is a piece that has needed writing for years now, but I was finally spurred to action by a run-in with one of these dudes early this morning.

📌Man, I am sick and tired of these guys.

AMERICA'S PLAGUE: WHITE, TOXIC MASCULINITY

Since the rise of Trump, these grotesque, so-called 'men' are proliferating, and only they are better for it ...

📌Zip-tying children and separating them from their families is barbaric and subhuman.
Grotesque cruelty.
It is also Republicans’ most popular issue.
The rot is deep in America.

She’s been reading off a script her whole pathetic life.
Nothing real or important about her.

Does AG Pam Bondi think she’s auditioning for the VP slot in Trump’s unconstitutional third term?

Here’s the mashup from today’s shitshow you definitely didn’t ask for. But this important point: she’s reading off a script. Someone actually wrote this garbage and thought it was good to go.

Trump’s openly talking about invoking the Insurrection Act with zero insurrection in sight. He’s inventing chaos in Portland and Chicago, and even saying he’d use it if courts or local officials are ‘holding us up’.

Wild how he didn’t bother using it during the actual insurrection on January 6.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

📌I have HAD it with these damn farmers.
They proudly voted for a racist, con artist, who is now screwing them. They will do it again after he gives them welfare checks they claim to hate so much.
Biden and Democrats actually supported them, and now WE are paying for THEIR ignorance and racism.

Texas Republicans didn’t even give their citizens a say like Californians can.

Nobody wanted this, but these vile, butt-hurt, sore-loser, anti-American Republicans forced it.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

I reckon, he'll be martyred on Fox, and will get a lucrative gig hosting some primetime slot slinging lies and hate.
Yeah, I'm jaded ... I'm also probably right.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.
