A badge of fascism is the unwillingness of the legislative branch to check and balance the executive branch. The rise of US fascism is much broader and more systemic than the election of Trump. The police state has been metastasizing for decades, and the US Congress has aided it.

If you’ve seen Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven you know he never had any regret in spite of what she said.

Sophie Cunningham is a beneficiary of Title IX. Her Indiana team would not exist without politicians like Indiana’s Birch Bayh who authored Title IX. Those liberals and their voters had daughters who wanted the same access to sports that boys had. She should be grateful for the impact of politics.

Her statement is disingenuous. @sophiecunningham63.bsky.social also plays for Big Pharma, which has its very own ring in the political circus.

If your takeaway from Trump refusing to allow soccer players, fans, and refs into the US is “sports should not be political,” then you don’t understand either sports or politics.

When you see trans women being banned from co-ed competitions like darts, billiard, and chess—where even if we did have more muscle in defiance of all natural laws—you start to realize that these bans aren't about "fairness." They're about never allowing undesirables to be celebrated.

“We project more frequent hail conditions in northern Europe, Canada and the northwestern US, southeastern Australia, and the South Island of New Zealand; and less frequent hail conditions in northern Australia, most of Africa, southern India and southeastern China.”

This guy is a fucking grifting asshole. “The very remote theoretical risk of illness from tested, retail, approved raw milk is far outweighed by the health and recovery from the illness that children that drink raw milk enjoy.”-McAfee

The Bartman effect? Maybe y’all should blow up the game ball, Chicago-style.

“BREAKING: Spain football star Yamal may not be at start of Spain’s World Cup match due to US Visa issues. Natanyahu has personally requested for Yamal not to be allowed into the US 🇺🇸 as he was seen holding Palestinian flag 🇵🇸 during a celebration.”

If Liberty was honest she would say: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses so that I can steal their labor, pilfer their leisure, and exploit both for myself.”

Trump continues to be a moneymaker the liberals like to shake. Eyes on advertising dollars.

On this day in 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested and beaten in Winona, Mississippi, while returning from a voter education workshop in South Carolina.

Oh, but for the existence of an opposition party that could mobilize the negative feedback into direct action instead of exploiting it for fundraising and remaining as unpopular as Trump is.

“And torn from Black Africa’s strand I came To build a 'homeland of the free.' The free? Who said the free? Not me? Surely not me? The millions on relief today? The millions shot down when we strike? The millions who have nothing for our pay?” — Langston Hughes

“In Upstate New York, there’s also the more in-your-face kind of racism too. Ku Klux Klan flyers have surfaced in recent years. The Proud Boys have also tried to recruit here. They deny they’re racist, but experts consider them a hate group.”

NBC’s Richard Engle reporting from Israel this morning on missile strikes exchanged between Iran and Israel. He said that NBC cannot confirm Iranian military’s claims on their missiles, but he reported as news the Israeli military’s claims on their missiles without any reference to NBC confirmation.

Data centers gonna turn everyone into Luddites.

Since I post frequently on rising fascism, I feel like I should skeet my definition of fascism periodically in order to avoid misunderstanding.

Why didn’t y’all tell me about Norah Jones and Charlie Hunter collaborating in 2001 on Roxy Music’s “More Than This”? I like it.
