Translation: please don’t separate us from the only security blanket we’ve ever known. Please don’t disempower us by making us relinquish our exclusive right to terrorize everyone else into submission, subjugation & learned helplessness. White supremacy will NOT disarm itself. 🌳 ImageImage
Despite infinite school shootings and the GOP’s persistence in pretending they give a fuck about the sanctity of life and children, Republicans nationwide plow ahead with catalyzing more school shootings/mass murders in the public square. #ProLifeIsALie #GOPDeathPanels🩸 Image
Oh lord, look at Dan Patrick whining and unsuccessfully trying to muster alligator tears to deflect away from the ENTIRE @TexasGOP’s WILLFUL negligence, malfeasance and overall SOCIOPATHY. Vote them ALL the FUCK OUT in November. 🔥💣🌊 ImageImageImageImage
Fuck all of these fake ass tears. Texas Republicans don’t give a FUCK and won’t lift a finger to stop these senseless massacres from happening over and over again. Fuck all of these insulting & idiotic deflections to mental health from Republicans who’ve defunded MH since Reagan.
These massacres are on @GregAbbott_TX, the RNC, NRA, @TexasGOP, Russia, the ENTIRE US Congressional GOP and SCOTUS. Electing @BetoORourke the next Governor of Texas and putting an end to this senseless carnage IS. ON. US. #ExpectUs #BetoBelieveIt #BetoDaysAreComing 🔥💣🌊🆘
Actually, that’s not entirely true. We most definitely ARE coming for their ARs and AKs. Just like Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party did in 1994 with the *Assault Weapons Ban* that the GOP maliciously allowed to expire in 2004. #ExpectUs to save lives.
How’s this for CRT?! ☕️ No matter how hard the revisionists contort themselves and American history for financial gain and CYA, once upon a time Congress WAS capable of *taking action* to prevent domestic terrorism, gun proliferation, and violence against women/children. Image
Let’s go over this one more time now that folk finally give a shit. 👩🏾‍🏫 The #1 reason gun control and a laundry list of other issues are such a heavy lift for stellar Democratic White allies in the South and all over America is b/c the White voting majority will NOT disarm itself. ImageImage
Oh and you Beto believe it’s a double-edged sword b/c the predominantly White far left refuses to apply nuance to police/criminal justice reform conversations, thereby making it damn near impossible to find common ground re: law & order. They prioritize purity over public safety. ImageImageImageImage
From the article👆🏾: “Many Black leaders saw the notoriously harsh law as an imperfect solution to unbearable levels of urban crime.” Now juxtapose that with White GOP, ConservaDem (Manchin) & alt left leaders like Bernie & Fetterman, who share the same rural White gun addiction.
IOW, the rubber meets the road on gun control because predominantly White men across the political spectrum won’t literally disarm themselves or figuratively disarm the hegemony that’s historically kept them atop the food chain in American society. Their privilege is VIOLENCE.🩸 Image
As I told Joe Walsh (who clearly wants to fashion himself as a reformed, reasonable & respectable conservative), this is the selfishness & endless empathic failure of White American manhood, as it was prototyped in the rugged individualist image of John Wayne. Baked-in toxicity. Image
Bottom line is Beto isn’t just squaring up w/a local #PodiumOfBastards (h/t @Marmel) exclusive to TX. He’s David vs. a GOP Goliath of institutionalized oppression for personal gain, privilege & White POWER. They’re infuriated that he doesn’t need/want their plantation fantasies. ImageImageImageImage
Indeed we do need way more White men like Beto willing to risk it all, @smoran26 and that’s precisely how/why Joe Biden won the D primary and the presidency. He rose above a field full of opponents who walked & talked too softly around White supremacy for fear of losing votes. ImageImageImageImage
And in case it isn’t already exceedingly clear, acquiescing to daily/weekly massacres & yearly escalations in gun-related fatalities IS walking & talking too softly around White supremacy. Reliable allyship in this atrocious climate means seeking sobriety from White gun culture. ImageImageImageImage
Sure, let’s go down that road because it’s 100% illustrative of my point. For both me & Walsh to be 100% right on both the motives AND the politics, the issue is STILL that we’re only tolerating these massacres because that’s what a preponderance of White sociopaths want. 💯%.
I sincerely hope y’all are paying close attention because what they’re saying is prepare to “maybe” get background checks *only* because asking White men/boys to surrender their killing machines in light of all these kids being disintegrated at school is a bridge too fucking far.

What if instead of vilifying Democrats as feckless & ignoring the unprecedented Constitutional crisis standing in their way, folk who actually didn’t want fascism dared the American electorate to give Ds a veto-proof Congressional majority/all 3 branches of government FOR ONCE?
Ever notice how you never see them advocating for that but you always see them poisoning the well sufficiently enough to suppress D turnout and catalyze absolute GOP power? 🧐 They perpetuate razor thin margins that render Rs unstoppable and Ds unelectable.
Swap out Manchin for Fetterman (or any other ConservaDem you so choose) and the point still stands. We wouldn’t be living & dying by the White whims of ConservaDems or Rs if they didn’t share a constituency that refuses to elect Ds who are either POC or *reliable White allies*. Image

Trump/DOGE/the GOP are destroying *community resources for education, recreation, employment & healthcare* bc they want MORE social dysfunction & economic chaos. They’re catalyzing a Putinesque oligarchy built on a reinforced American caste system, it ain’t a mystery or surprise. Image
I don’t wanna hear shit else about “Ds not meeting the moment.” Literally the only reason America even has/had all the public services Rs are gleefully destroying is Ds. Y’all insisted on letting perfect be the enemy of good & look at us now, contending with evil every damn day.
Also just b/c you didn’t join the fight until some Bros occupied Wall Street in 2011 doesn’t mean the Black base of the Democratic Party hasn’t been fighting the battle for civil rights AND socioeconomic justice in America since 1619. You didn’t help but now you want moments met.

A lot of folk seem to think that repeating “I support Trump/DOGE/the GOP’s funding cuts b/c there’s too much fraud, waste & abuse in government” makes them sound reasonable and fiscally responsible when really all they’re doing is parroting Southern Strategy dog whistles. 🙃
For context, watch this👇🏾clip. It’s the most commonly executed mental gymnastics routine in these interviews of FAFO MAGAts who still don’t wanna admit they’ve been brainwashed by the GOP (and Fox) into supporting the dismantling of their entire government-dependent livelihood.🤸 Image
Not only is there a shit ton of fraud/waste/abuse in the private sector that they hypocritically pretend is infallible & superior to the public services they divest from (b/c they think it hurts ‘those’ people), *they* end up reliant on those same underfunded public resources.

“New polls show a majority of Americans say he has overstepped his presidential authority — and hasn’t done enough to address high prices.” | via @politico #InstabilityInChief #BuyersRemorse #GOPOverreach politico.com/news/2025/02/2…Image

Much of the reason White “moderates” are so shellshocked about having no quick reprieve from Project 2025 is they’ve historically been able to evade the worst of GOP policy by “swing” voting for divided govt that allows Ds to rescue them from the R trifectas they keep unleashing.
IOW, they create economic chaos by voting GOP in presidential years (to assert their Whiteness) then crawling back to Ds with their tails between their legs at the midterms b/c they desperately need a bailout from GOP austerity/overreach and want their SS, Medicaid & Medicare. 🙃

If anything good comes from this unmitigated disaster & international fucking embarrassment (part II) I hope it’s that folk who never bothered to understand how American government works or why they should give a damn about the social safety net finally learn it from losing it.
Every time I see an MSM clip of them sorrowfully (but unconvincingly) reporting these #TrumpLayoffs & agency closures/takeovers I roll my eyes damn near out of my head b/c WTF members of the press?! Stop pretending there was “no” way to predict this when Y’ALL fanned the flames.
Then there’s the FAFO folk who actually ordered the code red on their own selves b/c they’ve been terminally brainwashed by 60+ yrs of the GOP Southern Strategy to reflexively hate the federal government (even though they need it) b/c of its interventions re: slavery & Jim Crow. Image

I’m gonna preface this by saying it’s mostly anecdotal but the patients I’m seeing virtually in TX (mostly White, rural/suburban) have been so medically unwell for the last month, primarily upper respiratory and gastrointestinal. Lots of flu, a smattering of COVID and colitis…
At first I was like well yeah it’s winter and cold/flu season plus vaccine refusal is off the charts, so folk aren’t keeping up with COVID boosters or annual flu shots etc., but now that it’s coupled with #InstabilityInChief shuttering public health services & communication... 🥴
And then it got even weirder this week when a patient told me school districts near him were closing in droves and said 650! students were out sick. I googled as soon as the session ended and look: nbcdfw.com/news/local/sch…
