The #Modi is a curious animal. Changing its plumage everyday, it feeds on #anger and #hate and defecates on the legacy of the dead. It is in a symbiotic relationship with the Caged #Media, an animal which sustains itself on the excreta of the Modi, which it recycles into anger and hate that the Modi feeds on.

#Religious #freedom grants the right to observe one's #religion in full for oneself, it never means having the right to impose any aspect of one's religion upon others, in any way.

@DeanObeidallah I would like to think companies would look at what’s happening to companies like Disney and Target, realize they’ll be next if they step one toe out of line and make a business decision to stop donating to Republicans. Otherwise they’re not only complicit, but signing on for the same treatment. Not holding out any hope though, appeasement to bullies is easier short term. #Target #GOP #Hate

Something that's always bothered me, as I greatly dislike organized religion (since it's one of the main reasons the USA is so fucked, phony "morality" spewed by the right, the bigoted, dogmatic lies and fear they use to oppress the masses): the widespread usage of the the terms 'good' and 'evil' despite the fact that they are subjective terms.

Morality is made up human bullshit.

I like to use 'decent' instead of good, and 'shitty' or 'awful' instead of evil.

Australian First Nations site destroyed by vandals who carved religious statement into rock

A park ranger has called it a “deliberate and destructive” act with the vandals potentially facing penalties of more than $500,000.

We need to continue to hope that #Trump supporters realize what they've done so far and that they've got the courage to change their minds for the better.

In contrast to the role of the USA in WWII, #Europe isn't going to fix your fascism problem that might get out of hand. It'd probably be #China or #Russia. Imagine that. 😔

#America is in the grip of a new ‘#LavenderScare,’ spreading #fear of #LGBTQ+ people.

In the early 1950s, the Eisenhower administration fired or barred thousands of gay, lesbian, and transgender people from federal government jobs. This was called “The Lavender Scare.”

Quote: I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.

TERFS are not feminist, they are #farright #extremists appropriating #feminism in an attempt to radicalizing people on the left into #rightwing #hate.

“I want to first question whether trans-exclusionary feminists are really the same as mainstream feminists..."

“My wager is that most feminists support trans rights and oppose all forms of transphobia.

So I find it worrisome that suddenly the trans-exclusionary radical feminist position is understood as commonly accepted or even mainstream.

I think it is actually a fringe movement that is seeking to speak in the name of the mainstream, and that our responsibility is to refuse to let that happen.” — Judith Butler

"The Republican Jewish Coalition slammed Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) following a TPM report that detailed substantial evidence tying Gosar’s digital director, Wade Searle, to Neo-Nazi leader Nick Fuentes."

UPDATE: when I tweeted this around 30% of the replies celebrated, defended, or deflected from Henry #Ford 's promotion of antisemitism.

Digging into the reply accounts & the likes I found.

- Explicit pro-nazi content
- White supremacist accounts
- Plenty of antisemitism

A little galaxy of hate & nazi amplification.

Despite all the undeserved hero-worship of the ex #Twitter #TrustAndSafety folks, it can't be forgotten that they took the money and helped destroy democracies; spread #hate, and killed people during #Covid19 - They didn't turn #whistleblower until after they were fired.

I can't remember who mentioned #Nazi #uniforms a few days ago but it seems they are dressing like a dollar store #Kraftwerk tribute lineup in their little red sweatshirts with badly scribbled runes on the front, black pants and knitted balaclavas.

Balaclavad Nazis in Ohio, looking like a dollar-store Kraftwerk tribute act. Their bald leader has a handgun on his right hip and is waving a large black swastika flag.

As he says, many of us are exhausted by this. I'd add to the list of what exhausts us the constant pounding of lies, many of them disseminated on social media — the incessant drip of toxic disinformation, the baleful stupidity of the disinformers.

It becomes well-nigh impossible to combat. Coupled with the self-chosen ignorance is such astonishing belligerence and unmerited entitlement — often quite specifically unmerited male entitlement.

#LGBTQ #hate #Republicans

Thom Hartmann shares today a phone conversation he's just had with a mother of a gay daughter who tells him that her daughter and friends are terrified at how the Republican Party is scapegoating queer youth.

He asks how we can deal with the ratcheted-up fear and hate-mongering. He points to what we all have to learn from the Native American and African American communities, who have loing weathered such storms.

"The usual reaction by Abbott and other GOP officials to mass shootings is “thoughts and prayers,” but this time the governor did not even offer that gesture.

Instead, he disgustingly sought to dehumanize the victims with the label “illegal” — to devalue their lives and thus their deaths."

Hondurans who come to the United States are fleeing murderous street gangs in a country with one of the highest homicide rates in the world. It is tragic that Friday’s victims might have been safer if they had stayed there.

"This kind of conflict happens every day in every community in every nation in the world. Such differences are usually resolved amicably. But sometimes, neighbors exchange words.

Yet the United States has more guns than people"

Think about that. How many times have you been annoyed by noise coming from a neighbor’s house or apartment? Reverse the scenario: How many times might a neighbor have had reason to wish that you, for the love of God, would turn down the music or shut off the leaf blower?

This kind of conflict happens every day in every community in every nation in the world. Such differences are usually resolved amicably. But sometimes, neighbors exchange words. In extreme cases, they might exchange blows. What they do not do, in countries that have reasonable laws about firearms, is fire guns.

"For the record, it is apparently not true that all of those senselessly slain in Cleveland, an exurb of Houston, had no legal right to be in this country. It is true, however, that one of the victims was a 9-year-old boy. It is also true, according to authorities, that two of the women who were killed sacrificed themselves by throwing their bodies over children to protect them."

It is also true, according to authorities, that two of the women who were killed sacrificed themselves by throwing their bodies over children to protect them.

And it is true that the gunman used an AR-style rifle — a weapon of war that once was banned in the United States and must be outlawed again.

According to survivors, the carnage began as a garden-variety neighborhood dispute. The suspect — Francisco Oropesa, 38, originally from Mexico — was firing a rifle in his backyard. This apparently was not unusual behavior. But on Friday night, the people in the house next door had members of their extended family staying over. Someone went to Oropesa’s house to ask him to knock off the gunfire because they were trying to get a fussy baby to fall asleep.

"Coldly dismissing the Latino victims of Friday’s horrific mass shooting in Texas as five “illegal immigrants” was a new low for Gov. Greg Abbott, a gun-loving Republican.

The previous low was when he said he was “embarrassed” that his state ranked only second in new firearms purchases and implored Texans to “pick up the pace.”"
