John Fugelsang on Christo-Fascism, White Nationalism and Other Religious Bullshittery

🤷🏼

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Wow, would be crazy if Tylenol were a brand that has already once successfully clawed its reputation from the jaws of hell itself in order to survive.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Goebbles or Miller?

In the words of the ancients: my expectations were low but holy shit

Reminder that Mahmoud Khalil is still being deported for his 1A protected speech.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

He was betrayed by those he was close to. Persecuted for his beliefs. Publicly crucified to serve as a cautionary tale to his followers. Then, by divine grace, he was resurrected. The people rejoiced. Needless to say, I’m referring to Jimmy Kimmel.

Last week, Disney/ABC caved to Trump administration pressure. Millions of Americans helped them find their backbone. Whether you watch Jimmy Kimmel or not, today's decision is a victory for free speech. We've reached out to WABC to reschedule the town hall.

Yeah I think they're basically calling into question the base stability that lies at the heart of liberal democracy and I think we're all gonna regret, including them

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

I feel like “immigration is crime but bribes are not” is not a winning “law and order” message. This is my own bias but I think Dems need to make “the rule of law” one of their planks, and it will matter to a decent slice of electorate.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Every thing from this HHS is like RFK: TOO MUCH BLACK BILE IN THE SEMEN OF AMERICAN TEENAGERS RFK: ILL-HUMORS A NATIONAL CRISIS RFK: TREPANATION UNFAIRLY MALIGNED

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

The Venn diagram of people who believe Charlie Kirk was a messianic figure and that the Pope isn't a real Christian is a circle.

Conservatives are desperately trying to make Charlie Kirk their new Jesus because they don't like anything about the actual Jesus

I suspect a lot of the ceremony around Kirk is an attempt to leverage Christian nationalist symbology in order to convey the messianic fervor of MAGA from Trump to Vance.

Today is perhaps a good day to remind people that Jimmy Carter personally and publicly pled with Obama to recognize to the State of Palestine before his second term ended and Obama just ignored him lol

Martyrdom, spiritual warfare, Kirk as a 13th disciple - the sacralisation of Kirk is being pushed extremely hard. calls for TPUSA to exist for „eternity“ make this memorial into an eerie mix of a propaganda event, MAGA rally, religious revival and memorial. Now, Stephen Miller goes on stage.

Well, obviously Jimmy Kimmel was wrong to suggest that MAGA World was making a spectacle out of Charlie Kirk's death.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

And then there’s this fucking guy, bravely avoiding any conflict or sense of duty to the American public. YOU CAN’T HAVE BIPARTISANSHIP IF THE OTHER SIDE’S STATED GOAL IS TO ERADICATE YOU FROM SOCIETY YOU STUPID BINCH

You shouldn’t murder people like this. Nor should you honor them.

“How many other bribes has the trump administration taken?”

Just comparing estimated deaths in the Siege of Aleppo with Gaza. Gaza has resulted in nearly twice as many deaths in less than three years for a comparable population. The photo on the left is from Aleppo; that on the right is from Gaza.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

You know how badly you have to fuck up to get normal people to know the name of the head of the FCC?

The life and death of Charlie Kirk and the response to it is the fastest case study of the difference between history and memory that I have ever seen develop.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Stolen from a wholesome trek fb page

This is pure fascism.

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

Yo Trump! You need to have this read to you, since you're not a reader. #USDemocracy

i strongly encourage parents not to post photos of your children on the internet

There seems to be confusion about what I'm saying here, so I'll be even blunter: Charlie Kirk's main argument, which he built his empire on, is that young women should be punished for feminist wrongthink with public, sexualized humiliation. To honor him is to endorse sexualized abuse of girls.

The key task, as Vought sees it, is to take over government and turn it into a tool that serves only two purposes: To enact revenge against the “woke” Left – and impose White Christian patriarchal domination on the country.   And he knows how to wield the power of the state as his instrument.

It’s obvious that Trump‘s cognitive decline is roughly a hundred trillion times worse than if you took Biden on his worst day and then shot him full of Hunter’s most fucked up drugs, right? Surely even Jake Tapper can see this.
