Hey me too!
Just thinking back fondly to September 2 2005, the day I made Tom DeLay's eye twitch at the Astrodome by shouting at him that he wasn't telling the truth about Katrina
Maybe September 1, I should have fudged the date, I don't remember. But anyway fuck that guy

Thanks to the decades-long, well-funded, almost invisible tendrils of the #TantonNetwork in absolutely every aspect of American political power and influence, matched by similar efforts all over the world. A global, far right power grab.
If you're finding the scope and scale of this difficult to grasp, just consider how easy it is for just one person to spoil and undo decades of progress. Destruction is so much easier than creation or mitigation
And that's why it's all centered around borders, immigration, and birth rates. Because of these orgs, which were brought en masse into DHS and other government agencies by the Trump administration. splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

It's also a big part of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the weaponized antisemitic narrative used as the basis for QAnon

There are no new ideas in Conspiracylandia. That's one of the reasons all your dedicated debunkers are super cranky all the time

This is exactly why I have kept at pointing out the intersection of "immigration hawks" and those touting "passive eugenics" for so long, ever since the #TantonNetwork was brought into the federal government en masse by the Trump administration. This is what they are.
Don't get me wrong. They were already there. But they've metastasized now. Our border agencies are in very bad shape and should be matters of grave concern for anybody who cares about American security. They're a major threat to our national resilience.
And that "shadow Trump administration" is the #TantonNetwork. npr.org/2022/05/13/109…

They faked shortages.
They FAKED a shortage. As they were telling us that "meatpackers and regular Americans" had to make sacrifices. This is hideous. And it was guaranteed far more than a couple hundred people who died. Charge these meatpacking companies with crimes against humanity.

As I told you at the beginning of this hideous war, we're in the future now. This is what it looks like.
We can make it better. But first we have to recognize where we are.
