I'm quitting (retiring they keep saying) from my job and they have a ceremony that I'm skipping. They give you a compass, apparently. We'll, fuck you, Evan says I already have one.
When I was put out to pasture, it was three months before they'd have been obligated to offer me a retirement trinket. It was the most anticlimactic non-event I ever participated in. Usually when an employee such as I got terminated, they were escorted off the premises by a state police officer. I was the only person in the office, and the state cop assigned to our area was a friend, so he declined the "honor", even though he'd have gotten 4 hours of overtime.
It always gets me how these Christofascist fuckfaces will harp on about the miniscule number of white women killed or harmed in some way by the immigrant community yet do nothing about the huge number of women of all races who are killed or harmed by their partners or family members.
And don't even get me started on the complete lack of concern for the huge number indigenous women who go missing and are never found or are murdered.
I think it is because they don't actually care about women dying, full stop. They just need a way to scapegoat immigrants, non-white people, etc. and the deaths of white women play into their existing biases and hatreds.
Despite their professed opposition to abortion (which is really about controlling women as above), they also don't give a single fuck when children are killed in school shootings or because their moron parent left a loaded unsecured gun in the house. They're deporting US citizen children with cancer for fucks sake.
They want us (i.e., everyone who is not them personally or their families) to die. We saw it during COVID, we see it in mass shootings, and we see it with women who die because they can't access abortion. It's a death cult.
Thank you, Evan. These columns are bracing for my courage, and I can tell you grew up in a Southern church because you know how to bring the righteous fire.
70 union members were arrested blocking the road in Philly yesterday to protest billionaires. That's the strength we need and remember folks you don't have to be the one who gets arrested if you can't do that for your health or safety. You can be the one to help throw bail or give them a ride home or just buy them a beer to say thanks.
I needed this today. Some days are darker than others and I get scared and want to lash out. This week was bad for that. Your reminder that I am still in the Army of Peace, Love and Understanding came just in time to keep me from becoming AWOL.
Hooray for Governor Pritzker! He gets it, but Governor Whitmer does not get it. And not just her, but too many Dems in leadership roles think that collaborating with the fascists is good. As SER has stated, "Vichy France isn't remembered fondly."
I'm an atheist, but I totally respect what Rev. Barber is doing. Christianity does not belong to these tyrants.
'a Capitol police spokesperson said Barber and two others were charged with “crowding, obstructing and incommoding,” explaining demonstrations in congressional buildings are “not allowed in any form"'
Unless you are a patriotic tourist, then you can crowd, obstruct, and incommode all you like, and TFG will pardon you.
Pam Bondi alternates her time between ranting against judges on Fox and fellating tRump, leaving her little time to run the DoJ, and I guess for that we should be thankful.

This administration and its enablers deserve no honor.
Quite the opposite in fact.
Ouch. Be nice, Ari

Congrats on your Quitirement!
Congrats!

They don't care about the women as women. They care about someone damaging their property. They're allowed to use their property as they see fit.

Thank you Mr. Hurst.

Every time I am forced to see Stephen Miller's face, a part of my soul dies.
And I'm reminded he probably has a victim in a torture chamber in his basement, like the nazi killer in "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

Big Gretch is whoring to the fascists, thinking about a Prez bid.
NEVER GONNA HAPPEN, Gretch. You're just destroying your brand permanently.
I'd add Newsom to the "does not get it" pile too.

Kudos on "Mr. Undead Buffy Villain Guy." I would point out, though, that unlike Gruppenführer Stevie, Buffy villains often had a personality.
And brains.
Ta, Evan. It's a cult.
