What Ruth Bader Ginsburg means to me.
I’ve read pretty much all of the books written by her or about her.
She was a powerhouse.
When she heard “no” she persisted.
She was class and integrity. She was everything these sad little Republicans are not.
She didn’t whine and
complain. She battled through everything, even from her hospital bed. She wouldn’t have let a bone spur stop her.
To me she really epitomises what an American should be. She was able to disagree and then go to the opera and laugh with those with whom she disagreed.
We lost a truly great American. I hope she inspires many girls and boys to do what is right. To fight for what is right. To fight for what is just. To stand for ethics and dignity. And to be brave and strong in the face of adversity.
#RIPRBG. I will miss you so much.

There are people in this world willing to sacrifice themselves for their ideology. The far-right believe those not willing to do so are cowards. There are those that have been waiting desperately for a civil war. The last few years, there has been in increase in accelerationists
Those willing to do whatever they can to accelerate the country they believe it should be. The question here is quite easy to answer. Why would a gun toting registered Republican attempt to shoot Trump and not Biden? Because the shooter knew that the most likely of people to
go straight to violence would be Trump supporters. Accelerationism is a well know white supremacist movement. It is an ideology that has actually manifested in real-world violence. However, out of accelerationism sprung a new concept. That of “neoreaction.” This is the argument

In 2016 there were endless media reports about Hillary Clinton and her health. This gave Trump a narrative. Trump stated that she she "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on Isis [Islamic State] and all of the many adversaries we face". The media continued day after day
stating her health was declining. That she kept it quiet. That her health had been deteriorating and she never recovered after a a blood clot that she suffered in 2012, and is keeping her frailty secret.
Her doctors stated she was in excellent health. So how did we go
from "fit to serve" to "secret health crisis"? Here's how it happened:
Well they even had a hashtag #HillaryHealth
The website Infowars, run by conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, begins publishing stories about Mrs Clinton's supposed failing health. The articles uses

THE FAILURE OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY 🧵

Let’s be honest. It didn’t start out to well in America. From the slaughtering of native people. For the use of slavery and justifying it using the Bible. To Manifest Destiny.
However, it really took the drastic turn in the 1940’s. After
the crash in the 20’s and the following Depression, capitalism was a dirty word in America. The average American blamed the wealthy and their greed for the state of the country. FDR, with his New Deal used the social gospel to help the average American. Capitalists and corporate
America did not like it. They were convinced that the only way to change this paradigm was to change Christianity and they’d actually use money to do it. They went to James W. Fifield Jr. The pastor to the millionaires. A man who told his congregation that having money was a

Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married
heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.”
It’s a terrifying vision of what American life could look
like, but what’s most concerning about Project 2025 is its playbook for the first 180 days of a hypothetical second Trump term. “The time is short, and conservatives need a plan,” the playbook states. “The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180

Because of my distaste for American Christianity, people assume that I am not spiritual. This couldn’t be further from the truth. What I actually believe is that every single country in the world is soaked in the soul of ancestors and their beliefs. I truly think that if this is
altered in any way, it affects everything. We might dispel old faiths such as paganism but I think these beliefs are penetrated into a country. Into the rocks. Into the woods and trees. Into everything. Almost into a deeply rooted collective consciousness of the place. When it is
as it is supposed to be, it is in balance. Yet, most places are not in balance, they have been removed by most countries by force. Christianity for the most part. America is diseased, I believe, because it upset this balance on a massive scale. You go into to wilderness in
