I'm going to limit how much I spam about this... but! We just passed over 50%, at right around 8 hours into the campaign. That feels pretty cool 🖤

Thanks to everyone who's backed us so far, and welcome aboard to anybody seeing Malicent for the first time!

The most vulnerable people in our society are under attack right now because that’s where you start when EVERYONE is going to be under attack and when Newsom arranges photo ops throwing out the tents of homeless people and spreads transphobic talking points he is doing the fascists’ work for them.

Here's Fox News, the Usual Lunatics, suggesting that we should murder homeless folks.

But don't forget! Despite how it might look/sound/feel/definitely-fucking-be, WE'RE actually the Bad Guys. Not them.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Yes, this. You aren’t changing minds, you are merely participating in engagement farming which benefits them more than it does you.

It also sends an unfortunate message that their ideas are worth treating with *respect* and therefore socially *acceptable*. It suggests they offer a *legitimate* pov.

all i know is that normalizing debate with fascists has only facilitated the rise of fascism.
