Not really news, this is a continuation of a trend that started in the 90s

Fascists aren't gay. Fascism frames sexuality as an exercise of power, not attraction. They don't care about gender; they hate queers because we engage in consensual activity among equals rather than engaging in predation and humiliation rituals. None of this is hard to understand if you try.
Wealth cannot “trickle down”, as wealth is only accumulated through extraction. The wealth of harvested lumber does not trickle down to the stump. The wealth of extracted labor value does not trickle down to the laborer.
Sovereign citizens are interesting in that they correctly identify that the government bossing people around is unjust, but have come to the conclusion this means it CAN’T boss people, and that all government agents are actually fae who can be tricked into leaving them alone with the right words.
You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Gavin Newsome. He has murdered homeless people with homeless sweeps, thrown trans people to the wolves (conservatives) and has buddied up with fascists like Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk.

Been getting some, uh… interesting ads on tumblr, recently.
A relationship (romantic and otherwise) is basically an agreement on expected behaviors for both parties. Not all agreements in all relationships are going to look the same, and that is good because everyone is different. If there is “compromise” instead of agreement, it is doomed to fail.
A lot of people want the Ku Klux Klan to be registered as a terrorist organization; instead they are registered as a tax exempt religious organization Meanwhile the ones who are called terrorists are anarchists handing out zines So what does the label “terrorist” even mean? Is it really negative?
George Washington got a salary of 25,000 dollars, equal to 2% of the entire government’s budget. His position allowed him to accumulate 52,194 acres of land, 315 slaves on his Mount Vernon property alone, and many profitable businesses by the time of his death. He set the precedent for corruption.

California Dreamin’… 😎@jerasikehorn.bsky.social · 2w agoThere's been more corruption under Donald Trump's administration than in the whole 250-year history of the United States… And that’s, JUST A FACT! 😎✨
“Trans people didn’t exist fifty years ago” Elagabalus (204-222 CE) was the ruler of the Roman Empire from 218 to 222 CE, who preferred to be called lady, woman, and Empress, and offered to pay a vast fortune to any doctor who could give “him” a vagina. Just normal cis dude stuff.
The purpose of language is to convey meaning, so if meaning is clear, it is proper. Trying to enforce rules on how people convey meaning is an attempt to control people’s ability to understand each other. It’s fascist; trying to make words define reality, rather than usage defining the words
“Of the people, for the people” is incompatible with representative government. “with liberty and justice for all” is incompatible with a carceral state “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is incompatible with a price tag on everything. Every American ideal is incompatible with American
“We should make people trying to ban books prove they actually read it” or instead of giving them the opportunity to do that we could just make it so books can’t be banned. Because so long as books can be banned fascists can and will do everything they can to ban books.
I don’t know, if millions of people are happy somebody died, maybe that says more about the way that person lived than it does about the people celebrating.
Always be suspicious of white people who despise Leftists and pretend they do not.
Less than ten percent of people murdered are murdered by strangers, and of that a third of them are killed by cops. Over half of kids trafficked were trafficked by family or friends. “stranger danger” is nothing but fearmongering that puts people at greater risk from the real dangers.
There is a race local to me between two Democrats, and I keep getting ads for both of them, and each one is just one of them making (well founded in both cases!) accusations that the other is a Trump lacky. First time I’ve ever felt I could believe what politicians are saying, lol
The Sex Pistols were industry plants formed to sell clothing, and the only reason Anarchy in the UK is called that is because John Loyd needed a rhyme for the first line “I am an Antichrist” and “I am an anar-chist” was the best he could come up with. Whew. Been wanting to get that off my chest.
I hate how “chud” went from meaning “right-wing loser” to “fat loser”. Fatphobia and fascism continue to march in lockstep
We are well past entertaining the myth of horseshoe theory, we know what the real political overlap is and what to do about it

Everything that sucks is because people were trying to make things worse for one group and it spilled over. No public pool? Thank anti-black racism Molested by the TSA? Thank Islamophobia Kid can’t play sports without genital inspection? Thank transphobia This is why intersectionality matters
Exactly. The Senate and House SHOULD be empty. Abolish that shit. The whole government is illegitimate.

The entire system is set up to make people conflate authoritarian control with order, and the absence of that control with chaos. This is a false dichotomy. The absence of laws does not necessarily mean the absence of order any more than the presence of laws necessarily means the presence of order
We all know there’s a multitude of reasons why public transport is demonized while the automobile is fetishized, but one reason I’ve never heard anyone talk about before is that a strike of public transportation would disrupt the entire economy, a hreat eliminate by making all eveyone drive cars
