Not acceptable, Gavin. It's easy to guess why he's doing this: billionaire funding is his easiest path to the White House (he thinks). Same reason he ignores science and compassion, to trash trans persons: he imagines it'll work for '28. But that era is over. www.commondreams.org/news/newsom-...

We should collectively plan to loudly and publicly celebrate our victory November 3rd. Let the confetti fly and the car horns blare. It's not just to bring us together and salve our wounds. It's to let the Fascist minority know THEY HAVE NO POWER OVER US.

In the main, 2 things led to the Trump excrescence: 1st, the parasite class has bloated to fantastic proportions. A handful of persons control the wealth of half the nation. 2nd: After generations of racism, imperialism, unregulated capitalism, & corporate propaganda, we are a morally weak people.

Abandoning the rights of the tiny, marginalized fraction of Americans who happen to be trans or gender nonconforming in an effort to sway bigoted voters is not a demonstration of political savvy. It’s a revelation of moral weakness. buff.ly/YC6N4tl #LGBTQ #USPolitics #Transgender #TransRights

And now we can see the answer: We are accustomed to submitting to the will of the oligarchy, as expressed via their propaganda machine. Yes, they cheated (they always do), but they did succeed in mind-controlling a plurality, & intimidating an equal amount into silence. And SCOTUS ignored A14 (3).

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

This emanates from the insidious, pervasive, toxic 'locker room talk,' in which the (morally degenerate) desire to sexually assault & conquer is portrayed as a legitimate need. In this frame, the boy-men are 'oppressed' by considerations of human rights, which do not apply to mere women.

If there is a silver lining to our monstrous stratonimbus of fascism, let it be (O Providence) that a swift awakening of powerful solidarity arises. Our society could be so bright, so dynamic. "Without a vision the people perish;" but with clarity and praxis, it could flourish.

In '07, as the post-9/11 Patriot Act weirdness dragged on, a Federal exercise called TOPOFF-4 was held in Portland, OR. It printed and distributed a map of an imaginary small nuclear device's effects, detonated near a rail bridge. There are people in the USG who contemplate this sort of thing.
