Sanctified emptiness. With a side of freedom fries. What can I say except, I told you?

The party of family values cares so little about babies that they're working to strip rights from newborns. Meanwhile their precious embryos, the ones they insist are full-on people just really small, don't even merit a discussion of documentation.

Even the "most pro-life President ever" doesn't care about the citizenship of the unborn. All this performative heroism about protecting innocent fetuses and not ONE person has ever suggested we change the Constitution to read "conceived or naturalized."

Nature gave individual women authority over their own pregnancies because that's the only arrangement which enables a civilization to survive. Every effort to usurp this inviolable charge is an attack on humanity itself.

The entire "pro-life" philosophy reveals itself in the ease with which they consign a "baby" to someone who never intended to make one. Babies need very specific, skilled care from responsible people. They are not a surprise to be left in someone's mailbox during the night.

We don’t need government to be run like a business. We need it to be run like a home.

I don't have the answers but I do have an ear. Please reach out if you need support right now. This is very bad. But we are up to it. Breathe. Hydrate. Regroup. And let's do this. 16/16

Because some of them will find the courage to leave. And they will leave with nothing. If they have any chance of staying out they will need support. Try to be someone capable of supporting them. 15/16

6. Protect your empathy. Lots of these people were born into this culture war. The rest were recruited by a system that seeks out the broken and gives them a place to belong. They are not evil. Do your best to remember that. 14/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

5. Protect your children. Teach them how to look squarely at what's happening. Teach them to find their own boundaries. Teach them how to fortify themselves. 13/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

3. Protect your connections. Show up for the people who show up for you. We need each other. 4. Protect your boundaries. Draw a hard line against the creep of fascism. Find your line and do not move it until you feel strong enough to claim even more space. 12/16

2. Protect your joy. This army consumes joy. Don't give up yours. Find a way to laugh every day. If that feels impossible, start with what feels doable. Joy is resistance but it doesn't grow wild in these times. Cultivate it. 11/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I don't claim to know what will help but here are some things that might: 1. Protect your peace. Do whatever you can to minimize and manage the stress caused by the evil being done in your name. 10/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Your anger is justified but venting it at the soldiers in the "Army of The Lord" won't help. They will just turn their rage on you. You will not shame them into self awareness. They have sacrificed their capacity for introspection on the altar of The Lord. 9/16

1101

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

They're an army. And the first thing you do to create a functional soldier is separate them from their humanity. That's what we're dealing with. 8/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

The sacrifices they have made for this bliss are incalculable. And they have no one to tell them it's ok to walk away. They have no support to abandon and rebuild a self. They do not have the resources to do the right thing. 7/16

1110

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

They do whatever they're told. They do it without question. But they are not evil. They're in a death cult. Tuesday, April 7, 2026 was a great day for them because they've been conditioned to welcome global violence as a sign of the coming bliss they've been so long promised. 6/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Because you don't survive in White American Evangelical communities with a working moral compass. They do as they're told. 5/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Do not expect them to see the light. Do not expect them to have a limit. They've suppressed every part of themselves that would recognize the wrong being done in their name. They've had to. 4/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

This is why they cling compulsively to their rage targets: Hillary. Masks. Trans women. Abortion. Wokeness. These issues are the steak thrown to a watchdog. They'll never let them go. 3/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

It won't be beaten with force because it thrives on force. Force is intoxicating. It provides an outlet for rage. And when angry people are given a target for their rage, they're occupied. Like toddlers. 2/16

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

I was raised in the eye of the storm that is American Evangelicalism. I have been threatened with The Second Coming, The Rapture, The End Times, The Last Days, and The Tribulation since I was a toddler. I know what we're dealing with. A thread: 1/16

If half the people who call themselves PRO-LIFE gave a shit about protecting babies, our entire society would be different. The American pro-life movement is really just a pro-force movement.

I propose a reality show called FAFO, in which fools who believe people cruise through life on "handouts" must navigate the world of means-tested social benefit programs. There'd be tears before the opening credits finished rolling. They have no idea.

If you think $5K would entice an American to have a baby, you have never taken a breath in the real world.

We're literally arguing over whether school lunches are a good investment of tax dollars. If we as a society choose to divorce ourselves from the realities of parenting, there's no obligation that individual citizens play ball. Parenting is brutal. And collectively, we don’t care.

000

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

We collectively ignore the visibly obvious struggle of young parents everywhere - and then yell at the person who points it out. We created this system. It's designed this way. If the only thing sustaining it is a tacit agreement to pretend it's working, Chappell Roan is a damn hero.

100

Crystal Keith @thenativeangel.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

The outrage at Chappell Roan is so predictably American. We talk about care as a noble calling while effectively treating it as worthless. We present a rosy image of family life but resent providing any kind of meaningful practical support to families. 1/3

However, that doesn't mean we have no choice but to lose our democracy. We are a very large country, and they are a small, heavily overextended group of people who aren't smart and don't have experience running a gigantic bureaucracy. The key is to keep them facing opposition on thousands of fronts

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?
