@vigneshr4m @punished_cait part of the problem is many anti-choice folks ARE that selfish. i look @ conservative porn in an academic way (bc someone has to i'm asexual so it's all bizarre to me). there is quite a lot of content written by women or men posing as women sexualizing late-term abortions

this isn't something i'm particularly jazzed to talk about but i think it is important. there is a serious problem with the fetishization of pure cruelty, a lot of which is obviously directed at women, but also children, infants, and fetuses.

there is more than one account making porn memes about repeatedly having late-term abortions on tumblr replacements like bdsmlr

what happened when tumblr destroyed itself is people got pushed onto even more poorly regulated replacements. MAGA csa content is everywhere on bdsmlr

“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

Lauren Boebert went full theocracy, and proclaimed, “The church is supposed to direct the government” per the founding fathers.

This is Christian nationalism.

So. Let's talk about Rick Perry calling Donald Trump "the chosen one" and discuss how American evangelicals became a white identity doomsday cult that threatens our safety and the very nature of reality. 1/

To begin, I have to give a bit of context. I grew up in the evangelical church. That means I was steeped in this stuff from my youngest years, even as I didn't understand it and was unable to imagine a reality outside of it. 2/

I had no idea that white evangelicals, in the 1960's, reacted to Civil Rights leaders like MLK using scripture to base their movement on Christianity by splitting the church and dismissing the ideas of Christianity in favor of a white identity gospel based on power and wealth 3/

People like Jerry Falwell, mostly southern televangelists, transformed Christianity from a religion of service and charity and inclusion to one of wealth and power, where God's will was shown via wealth and control over the world. 4/

We now know this as the Gospel of Wealth, but it started with the 1960's and that redirection from Civil Rights. Basically it was a doctrine that sought to base white power and domination under the dominion of an all-powerful God, thus making it right and defendable. 5/

Are you using the terms #MSM #media #news and #press incorrectly? If so you are hurting #journalism.

And America won’t survive without journalism. 📰 🗞

Thread 🧵:

-what is media? It’s really anything out there: TV, papers, mags, internet. This is an extremely general term. Do not use it, unless you specify which medium. Particularly if you are unhappy with this medium. When you use media in a derogatory manner, you hurt *all* media.

-what is MSM? Who the hell knows. Especially in today’s digital age. Propagandists love using and abusing this term. Be wary of it. See above. Skip usage.

-what is the Press? Someone who reports for a newspaper or magazine. This term gets used in a generalized way, and includes mediums which are NOT journalistic in nature. For example: Press pass. More than news orgs get these. Try to avoid using Press.

-what is news? News is journalism! Journalists, or the Press, have the highest standards of ethics. Freedom of the press is defined as a right guaranteed in the United States by the first amendment for journalists to print whatever they want without government control.

Not a single day should pass between now and November 8th without Republicans being asked why every single one of them in the House voted against an amendment to require all white supremacists, Nazi-sympathizers, and extremists to be removed from the U.S. military.

Trump supporters have gathered outside Mar-a-Lago to stand up for treason

No one agrees with the riot at the Capitol on Jan 6th, as a matter of fact, it upset and shocked me very much.

But the political persecution happening in our country upsets me even more.

I toured the DC Jail and will never forget the broken men singing the National Anthem as

their due process and human rights are violated by the very government in power.

Yes they did wrong, but no different than every single Antifa/BLM rioter that were bailed out by money raised from Democrat leaders like Kamala Harris & Ilhan Omar and

then had their charges dropped by liberal DA’s who probably cheer on the persecution of J6’ers.

The two tiered justice system needs to end.

Ashley Babbit’s mother & supporters are gathering nightly outside the DC Jail from 7-9:30 pm.

@tomiahonen This breaking story seems

Polices that could make us safer, that could prevent massacres of children and people in public places are incredibly popular.

The problem isn't a lack of support.

The problem is that our leaders have failed us by lacking courage and

I wish I could say what happened in Uvalde is an unfathomable tragedy.

But it's not. It's completely predictable.

This disgusting state of affairs and these senseless tragedies could be prevented if our leaders had courage and were concerned about more than the economy.

We absolutely have to address gun culture in the United States.

We need to admit our white supremacist foundations have led to a state of paranoia, of firearm fetishism.

That is a massive part of the problem and requires a sea change of cultural proportions.

3/

We must recognize that the GOP, with its radicalization, its dependency on fear, paranoia, and conspiracy theories has created an environment where guns and violence are a main part of their appeal.

This state we're living in isn't independent of that. At all.

4/

And any conversation about gun violence or mass shootings has to involve the NRA, an institution that has done more harm to Americans and created more tragedy than nearly anyone else.

It is an absolute blight on the American body and its influence cannot be downplayed.

The extent of the Democrats' 2010 wipeout in state legislatures never ceases to shock. Very good @kzernike piece tracing the collapse on abortion rights to that moment: https://t.co/y6u87yrfyU

And the Republican effort to win those legislatures--netting 680 seats in total--cost only $30 million, less than Democrats have spent on individual losing Senate races in recent years.

Many here are noting backlash to the first Black president as a major cause for the 2010 wipeout. Yes, definitely.
But also: anger over Wall Street bailouts/lack accountability after financial collapse.
And the success of McConnell's stonewalling: drag out ACA etc, sour voters.

NEVER FORGET: Florida U.S. Senator Rick Scott proposes raising taxes on 50% of Americans and wants to END Social Security & Medicare if GOP regain control of CONGRESS! "It's in the
