Yes, the fascists have been fascist-ing since they took power 1/20/2025, a day that should live in infamy.

Mathing this out, the GOP super PACs were paying 3.8 times as much as the Talarico campaign. And the polls have actually gotten worse for Paxton since their spending spree began.

International Observers from OSCE have been invited to see our elections for more than 20 years -- and allowed us to demonstrate to the world our free and fair elections. Why does the Trump Administration not want the world to see how we vote in America? #holdfast #corruption

As we’ve found out viscerally in the past two years, state and local officials are the ones that can hold the line against an out of control fascist White House and captured Congress. Pay attention to your local elections!!!

We can counter the threats MAGA is lobbing at our elections, but this requires voters know about them and be equipped to respond accordingly. Latest from me and the fabulous @tarabuss.bsky.social anatosaurus.substack.com/p/sounding-t...

Sounding the Mobilizing Alarm on Election Sabotage
Voters are already hearing about Trump and MAGA Republicans’ attempts to sabotage our election. We need to help them turn awareness of danger into defiance – and prepare them to prevail.

The Republican party sowed the seeds of its own destruction and should be disbanded and/or ostracized for at least a full generation. It is proudly fascist and unless/until it becomes otherwise, it cannot be considered a legitimate political party in a functional democracy.

When things are interracial/inter-class, the baked in male supremacy is absolutely exponentially strengthened by class or race privilege (aka Epstein et al and their victims, almost all working class or facing serious economic hardship; the historic use of rape as terrorism against Black women, etc)

DC Cassandra @dccassandra.bsky.social · 18h
We have the racist history of white men claiming “protection of white women” as an excuse to murder Black men (while going home to rape their white wives b/c that was legal until 1980s). However, majority of rape is ppl of the same race, who know each other.

DC Cassandra @dccassandra.bsky.social · 18h
well….the truth is that rape is massively underreported, when reported, rarely prosecuted, and when prosecuted conviction rates are around 2%ish. Male supremacy/immunity vis-a-vis sexual violence is widespread - class/race def have an impact, but broadly speaking this crosses race/class lines.

I often think about how we talk about sexual violence as “my rape.” We never do this for any other crime - it’s not “my mugger” or “my drunk driver." Even our language seems to imply that women are somehow responsible or “own” the crime, instead of the men who committed it.

Exactly. It’s not just the rapists. It’s the entire world that enables them, from the group chat to the school administration to the “rape-prone culture” they grew up in that told them early and often that women and girls are not so much full human beings as much as collective male property.
