I will say as I always do, we don't vote to elect saviors.We vote to elect targets, targets we can organize and win pressure campaigns against.(And to keep the fash away from levers of power.)Go vote in some targets today!

Most people radically underestimate the role that misogyny played and plays in online far right radicalization, and Gamergate was *the* critical turning point for the far right using online misogynist culture as an on-ramp into the far right.https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xgwmdz/paul-pelosi-attacker-gamergate

Bannon very deliberately recruited Milo Yiannopoulos to exploit Gamergate and use it to expand misogynists' open hatred of women into open hatred of oppressed people in general.It worked very, very well.

Once again: Moms for Liberty exists entirely so that white supremacists can violently follow them into community space, then pretend that their violence is "protection" of white women.This right here is about deceiving people into believing the threat is real, racialized, and comes from Black men.

He's just straight up announcing his plans to be a dictator, and the frog of democracy is so fully boiled at this point that most folks are just shrugging and tuning it out.It's a terrifying time to be alive in large part because not enough people are terrifiedhttps://www.salon.com/2023/12/06/is-hiding-his-fascist-plans-in-plain-sight/

I used to write about fascist creep & how the outright fascist rhetoric I'd see in monitored Nazi space was creeping into mainstream GOP/MAGA.People would call me paranoid, or shrug it off as coincidence.And now it's just their everyday speech. It's the norm.Which of course is how creep works.

An important one.This guy (Sean) represents a dangerous intersection of Nazi involvement in MAGA electoral politics and literal pro-terror fascist accelerationism.https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2023/12/15/were-not-scared-these-parasites-violent-white-nationalist-leader-menacing-tennessee

So, after an an uneventful and healthy pregnancy, I still almost bled out and died in labor with an undiagnosed placenta accreta.Eternal reminder that pregnancy and birth can be disabling and even deadly (in my case, even with the best care, it came very close).For all the rosy pictures our culture presents of pregnancy and birth as wholly safe and sweet, the risks are real.Forced birth can mean forced death, and we can never forget that.

Beyond thrilled to be due for a hospital birth during what's gearing up to be potentially the biggest COVID surge since OmicronAnd get warned, "we'll do whatever you want, but the nurses will probably give you some attitude" by my midwives when I say I want people attending to use n95s/kn94s/kn95s.

I'm boosted (september) and novavaxxed (as of last week), there's an air filter taking up half our hospital suitcase.The one Xmas present I've requested is an Aranet monitor, I've printed signs for the door asking for decent masking and we're bringing a big stack so they're available.

I'm probably going to be in a Flo mask for birth again, as will my support folks.Not sure what else we can do, really, but the idea that we're gonna have to beg and plead with *healthcare workers* to comply with the most basic protection standards is so dispiriting

The cops are threatening to arrest the journalism school deans for trying to assert student journalists' right to cover the protests.If the journalists about to be honored at Columbia's Pulitzers have any fucking spine, they will boycott and refuse the award this year

This May Day the cops are really working overtime to demonstrate why they should never be considered workers or part of the labor movement

Turned on the radio and the first thing I hear is the phrase "anti-sunblock influencers."This timeline is a parody of itself
