Ah yes

Patriotic assimilation like the Indigenous boarding schools of family lore

One of the best parts of having an Indigenous background is reading threads like this
That reminds me of a fun story

my mom’s family descends from Geronimo, who went to his grave refusing to recognize the federal government’s legitimacy

and in 2011 the government code named Bin Laden “Geronimo” because clearly history doesn’t still bother them
Reading this is like a squatter walking into your house and then calling his friends to argue over a guest list for the party they’re going to throw there

Meanwhile you’re still in the room like

I CAN HEAR YOU
I mean kindly go Manifest your Destiny on the porch or something I was trying to sleep Josiah goddamn

Don’t dismiss Jesse Watters’ call to “ambush” Fauci with a “kill shot.” That’s incitement, not ‘just words.’

Want to know how I know? Another Fox host, Bill O’Reilly, did the same thing to a relative of mine.

And George Tiller was assassinated during at church.
Fox’s Jesse Waters is following in the footsteps of Bill O’Reilly, throwing gasoline on the fire — and the audience listens.

I wrote about George Tiller’s assassination here, and what it tells us about the mechanics of American terrorism:

1. I listened.

2. Incitement to violence can use metaphorical language; this argument is an old one and, in fact, one that often cynically wields the First Amendment as a shield.

3. Bill O’Reilly’s viewers argued the same - then one assassinated my uncle.

4. I have a Ph.D.

The story of Jorts (and its update) is literally the best thing I’ve ever read.

Also be advised

“Pam is NOT allowed to apply margarine to coworkers” will henceforth and forever mean “outta pocket” in my idiomatic dictionary
Furthermore this gem located in the comments might as well be the unaltered, verbatim word of God as far as I’m concerned.

Because, well: 1) Qat Sr.; and 2) Baby Satan.

The state rests, Your Honor.

I hate to rain logic or history on this fun “COVID vaccine mandates are the Getsapo!” parade

but

Jews, Roma, and other “undesirables” in Nazi Germany didn’t exactly have a life-saving “prevent the contagious disease of your…* checks notes*… inborn identity at birth” option
I’m not primarily annoyed by the Gestapo/Nazi comparison because of my politics or even my expertise in, like… ACTUAL Nazis.

It’s the abysmal logic that irritates me.

What can I say; I’m a Vulcan. 🤷🏻‍♀️
lemme try this another way

COVID vaccine mandates: “we want to save your life and the lives of everyone around you so here is an option to make that happen”

Nazi Gestapo: “we want you to die and ain’t shit y’all can do about it”

Hey you know what’s really helpful men who don’t work on political violence or follow my account

Your thoughts on how I’m encouraging trolls to harass me
You know what I learned from other women who work on political violence (and trolls)

Blocking trolls enrages them; they respawn new accounts and more vicious harassment tactics across many platforms

Anyone who follows me knows how rarely I engage my constant swarm of trolls
The only reason I even know my @‘s are unbelievably bad is because I have followers who come here for entertainment to read and respond to the insane people I’ve muted

Cool! I figured, since you don’t follow - but thank you for your feedback.
I’m not a liberal so you’re also incorrect about that.
I’ve never dated anyone fash - unless “fash literally putting me on a kill list when I was 15 and assassinating my uncle” counts as a dating to you.

I’ve never even been to Portland. I’ve lived most my life in North Africa and Europe.

I’m also… not white.

You’re confused.

…do I need to say it? Fine.

Imagine the GOP uproar if @IlhanMN was on an elevator with @RepBoebert and made a joke about January 6 and domestic terrorists.

Lauren Bieber could have “reached out” and spoken “directly” with Ilhan Omar In. The. Damn. Elevator.
“Sorry Moozlimz if you were offended by my racism.”

Lauren Boebert is right about one thing: there are, in fact, plenty of policy decisions to focus on without this “unnecessary distraction.”

If by “unnecessary distraction” she means — Lahren Boebert.
