"End times fascism … should be seen as a twisted and sadistic form of climate-change adaptation. Now that the reality of planetary heating has become undeniable, all that is left to deny is the humanity of our fellow humans." A sermon, that.

This may or may not be a helpful frame, but one can consider that the fascist paramilitaries are also ultimately climate activists, except they have a *very* different idea of how to respond to the climate crisis, and governments largely agree with their solution and not one where we halt emissions.

Redefining "woke" to make it carry the full weight of its purported anecdotal excesses, while emptying it of its substantive origins, meanings and critiques is not coincidental. It is loadbearing to the project of delegitimizing those critiques, and getting past the discomfort and threat they posed.

I'll pile on with my take on this grotesquerie, sure why not: "We don't have to listen to you anymore," with "you" defined in all the expected ways, was the promise of Trump's allegedly epochal "re"-election. They really did assume "you" would just reply "yes sir" and shut up forever.

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X:

“The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11

Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states

Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect"

Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason."

“Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30

Also has health care extenders

Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”
