really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful
To paraphrase Margaret Atwood…”men are afraid that women will laugh at them, women are afraid that men will kill them”

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
