As someone on the spectrum I am aghast at these fascists crediting my mom’s use of Tylenol rather than my own ingenuity and dedication.

“What happens in Lamar, will not stay in Lamar. The same people, organizations, & groups successfully lobbied the Texas legislature for laws they believe will make it easier to criminalize educators & librarians, & for them to remove books”

Sauron emerged from the primordial Middle Earth-devouring darkness of the venue’s green room with a deep sigh. After a rousing performance of his first song of the night, his eye filled with blood. You could hear a pin drop. Voice quaking, he said, “He died too young. This one’s for Charlie.”

At this point I can’t help but wonder if legacy media corporations are giving a glow-up to the fascist to win over the nebulous “middle” with a show of performative civility…or because they’re owned by frikkin billionaires who are in fact benefited by fascist policies. Never mind, it’s both.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Eliminating funding for the research of diseases such as Ebola seems to suggest that we're all very comfortable with people contracting, and spreading, Ebola without any access to treatment or cures.

A new report reveals the vast majority of those demanding book bans are organizations or officials — not individual parents. It’s NOT a parent’s rights movement at all. It’s an astroturf campaign that these orgs are using to gain power over Americans. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Report shows it’s largely officials and orgs demanding book bans - not parents

The constitution is deeply flawed, and ignoring its messiness gets us nowhere. Also, you’d be better off prepping for this scenario by getting your PR messaging sorted out rather than hoping the court will save us.

One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.

Two things: 1) We should not do war crimes. 2) When this administration breaks the law, we should use it against them, including their national security crimes while doing war crimes.

The greatest weakness of the American Public Library system is its fragmented nature. The people trying to destroy libraries have been refining an attack playbook and only have to get lucky once to topple a service but libraries have to be lucky every time.

It seems clear that ICE, Homeland Security, & all departments involved with immigration have been given quotas & guidelines on how to fill them in a way that targets those unlikely to be sympathetic to the current US regime. They are surely working with police in some areas as well.

I’m a man who experiences loneliness, and I am not an incel. I say this because it’s hard to say I experience loneliness, and I think that difficulty is worth my listening to. If we’re going to talk about toxic masculinity, let’s talk about how it’s actually toxic—not evil, but poisonous for men.

Don’t look to the stock market to rebuke fascism: Markets love fascism. Sure, they quake at short term instability, but over time they love capitalist authoritarianism—why wouldn’t they? Hey, maybe that’s a sign you shouldn’t hitch your politics and morality to markets.
