Feminist theory remains undefeated in explaining the weirdest parts of the Trump administration. I'm just going to keep posting this skeleton-key-to-MAGA passage, written over 40 years ago, until everyone gets it.

"To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
― Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

This can't be talked about enough. "President Donald Trump's move to cut most of the US funding towards foreign humanitarian aid could cause more than 14 million additional deaths by 2030, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal." www.bbc.com/news/article...

I've seen this observation a few times now, but they didn't have social media in 1972. If they had, people would have been arguing the fuck out of iced coffee then too. It's not really about the Washington Post. We've just become a civilisation that talks nonsense 24/7 because we can.

The RNLI has said the abuse of volunteers in Portsmouth has forced it to close the lifeboat station there and stop operating since September 10. Nearby stations have been providing cover to the area instead. One of the UK's largest coastal cities without a lifeboat because of the far-right.

Lowe going even lower. An official carrying out the policies of an elected government is threatened with imprisonment. What's going on here is deeply disturbing.

Rupert Lowe

A high-ranking official in the Home Office is today ordering where to send those invaders that arrived in Portsmouth last night.

Which is the next Piddington, or Epping, or Crowborough, or Thetford?

I want that man or woman to know that if they give the order to place hundreds of unvetted young men into a British community, then a Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute them.

This is retrospective.

If we win power, and we're already the fourth largest political party through membership, that official will be dragged through the courts.

With prison the ultimate aim.

Currently, we are fourth favourite with the bookmakers to win the most seats well ahead of the Lib Dems and the Greens. For a six month old party, that is impressive.

But we need more.

Lend us your support and give this threat real teeth.

That official needs to know that there will be consequences for their actions.

Not in 2029, but now. Today. 2026.

That is what Restore Britain is promising the British people.

Consequences.
