It’s not “hypocrisy” for McConnell to rush through Trump’s nominee for SCOTUS with an election in 40 days. It’s proof of his power to dominate us all. Fascists prove their power by showing how the rules they enforce *don’t apply to them.* THIS IS HOW FASCISM WORKS. @resign_today
Arguments like "that's hypocrisy" are no longer relevant with the GOP. We're now dealing with a full blown fascist movement. Fascists love the show dominance by flip flopping, denying what they previously said, and laughing in our faces for assuming they could be held accountable
Dominance based expressions of power are valued for their own sake. Policy is no longer relevant. The performance of fascist dominance is all that the base wants. The base no longer cares about their own well being, the future of the country, the own families. Dominance is all.
If we are to effectively counter Trump and the GOP’s takeover of our Republic we must name Trump’s white nationalist fascism and act accordingly should we be fortunate enough to also take control of the Senate. The GOP is gone. We must unilaterally act to protect the vote...
...Add seats to SCOTUS and fill them, purge fascists from the Justice Department, prosecute every single criminal act, end Citizens United, tax the 1%, end the electoral college and more. This must be done unilaterally because the fascist GOP will never stop coming at us.
And statehood for Puerto Rico and D. C. If the Democratic Party shows even the slightest nostalgia for bipartisanship, the white nationalist GOP will sharpen their knives and come at us. We must make sure that our diverse American majority is never silenced again. We mustn't fail
This all assumes we'll even get the chance to try. Please, in the name of god, don't sit this one out. Vote for Biden and then let's hold their feet to the fire for substantive change. I think the Democratic Party knows their very survival depends on making real change.

Harris Broke Trump. Then Trump Broke His Campaign remakingmanhood.medium.com/harris-broke-t…Image
The MAGA Republican Party meltdown, floating island of garbage joke, beeper going off comment on CNN, “enemy within” declarations by Trump. All of it is a sign of MAGA rage and panic fueled by the power of Vice President Kamala Harris’s political campaign, and Harris herself.
Yes, we must be mindful of a coordinated MAGA plan to overthrow the 2024 election. Trump’s intentionally divisive demonization of Americans, Democrats, LGBTQ folks, immigrants, people of other faiths as targeted by Project 2025 are designed to motivate MAGA for another Jan 6.

Women outperform men because they are adopting traditional masculine strengths and adding them to their own faster than men are adopting traditional feminine strengths and adding them to theirs. We can all be fully empowered by claiming our full range of human capabilities. /1
Men hesitate to display universal human capacities like empathy, emotional expression, care giving and curiosity because in our generations old dominance-based Man Box culture of masculinity, we’ve been taught these capabilities are feminine and therefore weak. They’re neither /2
Millions of men are breaking out of Man Box culture and bringing our full range of human capacities to parenting, partnering, workplaces and communities. When we do, we discover that these so called feminine capacities are the key to ending our epidemic levels of loneliness. /3

Ya’ll see where this is going, yeah?—Republican Chair Says Only Christians Should Be Elected to Government - Newsweek newsweek.com/kandiss-taylor…
Getting the knack of spotting extremist MAGA language trial balloons. They’re testing the limits of what is acceptable; saying the quiet parts out loud out on the fringe. Next up, some GOP State Rep in Montana repeats it.
Then, of course, there’s the part where MAGA Christian nationalists take power and then start deciding who’s a legitimate Christian and who’s not. That’s a whole different kind of blood bath.

THE NEXT BIG CALL: WHITE DUDES FOR HARRIS. This group of men is stepping up. Inspired by, and following in the footsteps of Black women, it's time for white men to get 100% engaged and make sure Kamala Harris is elected as our next President. Join here: /1 bit.ly/whitedudesforh…

The reasons why white men like myself must show up in support of Kamala Harris for President were on full display at the Republican National Convention. Trump/Vance’s Project 2025 MAGA movement is a war on women, especially Black women. /2
For too long, Man Box culture has positioned white men at the top of a bullying and rigid dominance-based culture of masculinity which teaches us that the only power that matters is power we create over others. The result has been economic, political and environmental disaster /3

@Meta is now actively defending Project 2025 across all its platforms. Instagram/Facebook are tagging posts raising the alarm about Project 2025 with this statement. "Partly false information. The same information was reviewed by independent fact-checkers in another post.” /1

The "independent fact checkers" they are citing? The Dispatch.
Who is The Dispatch? The “neutral fact checker” that Meta is relying on? Of course The Dispatch is a self defined conservative source. Of, course it is. /2en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dispa…
From Wikipedia: "After The Weekly Standard ceased publication in December 2018, Hayes, Goldberg, and Stock were inspired to start a media company with the goal of 'producing serious, factually grounded journalism for a conservative audience.'" /3

The reason men in the manosphere are so angry at women? Because empowerment for women requires accountability from men. For men, being held accountable, and moreso, *holding ourselves accountable* in relationships where women have equal power requires self-reflection. /1
For men raised in our bullying dominance-based culture of masculinity, self reflection is forbidden, punished. Who we authentically are doesn’t matter in Man Box culture, We are trained instead to model our identity on a narrow set of rules for how to be a man. /2
“Don’t show your emotions. Be tough. Have control of women and girls. Be heterosexual. Never talk about anything deep. Be a breadwinner not a caregiver. Have lots of sex.” All these rules require we show dominance over those around us, including over the women in our lives. /3
