#Trump demands gratitude in DC. So he put up banners thanking himself.

Signs appearing around the capital twist appreciation & patriotism into an authoritarian knot.

#SCOTUS kills #VotingRights

The Supreme Court’s decision to upend a key provision of the #VotingRightsAct [#VRA] has plunged the nation into a dizzying new era of partisan conflict, most likely ushering in a forever #redistricting war that could produce fewer competitive seats in #Congress & further #polarize #US politics.

OMG this muther effing craze-ballz narcissist…

Image of #Trump to be featured inside new #passports to [supposedly] mark the #US’ 250th

Trump’s likeness — along with the Declaration of Independence text [which teeny-weeny-peeny has never read] — & the flag of the United States of America will be on an inside page of new passports.


Kill me now

"Journalists – even lazy journalists – can’t miss this authoritarian rot.

It’s not cluelessness anymore. It’s cowardice and complicity. And it’s inexcusable. …

It’s obvious that Republicans are trying to end democracy and establish a dictatorship. News media that don’t tell you that are failing you."

~ Mark Jacob

"Muslims are not neutral subjects in the global order, and Islam is already positioned as suspect within it. The conversation about hijab does not happen in a vacuum. Take authoritarianism in Iran, for example.

Instead of seeing authoritarianism as inherently gendered and violent, as an inevitable feature of patriarchy, as a system that justifies itself by co-opting any moral framework, you view it as either “uniquely Islam”, an “Abrahamic religions issue”, or “proof that all religions are oppressive.” Why don’t you name a secular, non-authoritarian, non-misogynistic nation-state, then?"
