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. 🌳
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🩸
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. 🔥💣🌊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.🩸
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Better yet, since we’re reliving the same pathology (and it’s been so long that the original links no longer work), I’m gonna repost all the #InstabilityInChief essays I wrote @dailykos for posterity’s sake…

Wake me when the folk who are feigning shock, awe and poutrage about Trump doing all the heinous shit he said he was gonna do direct their complaints to the MSM that propagandized them blind (b/c they wanted to be) and is still enabling/sugarcoating fascism/White supremacy.
I mean this in all sincerity b/c I have yet to see a concerted, large scale effort to boycott or even regulate the legacy media outlets that paved the way for social media outlets to finish off the bamboozlement of the masses they started *centuries* ago. Where’s the revolution?
I repeat, “America incentivizes brainwashing of the White community,” so there’s no amount of scattering to new social media apps that’s gonna stop the newspapers or Big 3 TV from peddling bullshit that trickles down. Speak with your WALLETS and starve White supremacy of GREEN.
Let me address this now (again) b/c folk keep asking: NO I’M STILL NOT opening an account on any other social media platform. Y’all are asking this of a Black, native Texan woman whose entire family tree is Black native Texan. *I don’t flee for the Confederacy’s benefit.*
Y’all can feel free to do what sits right in your spirit but I’m not scared of a damn tweet. I walk around IRL as a Black woman knowing full well that my gracefully unbothered existence in spaces racists don’t want me in is an act of civil disobedience, protest & radicalism.
Not only that but what point is even being proven right now other than a real time illustration of how easy and uncomplicated it was (still is) for certain folk to flee to bluer, “safer” territory for the Confederacy’s benefit while the space they fled becomes more Confederate?
1 more blast from the past since folk still can’t do math or handle the truth. Ds are still contending with #WeakAssUnreliableAllies who “swing” in & out of the ⛺️ on a whim based on White/White adjacent grievance every 2-4 yrs and make maintaining a winning coalition impossible.
Matter of fact, miss me with the feigned confusion altogether b/c it’s BEEN plain as fucking day that culture wars are all the GOP has left and that WW (specifically) were/are susceptible to said wars to the extent that their bigotry is superseding their woman/motherhood.
After years of xenophobic klan sentiment on the GOP campaign trail, the El Paso shooter drove ~10 hrs to gun down Hispanic Texans on White supremacy/nationalism’s behalf. The anti-Haitian rhetoric propagated by Trump/Vance/MAGA isn’t just a hateful lie, it’s stochastic terrorism.
Nobody gets to pretend the writing hasn’t been on the wall since Birtherism and Trump’s promise to build a wall but make Mexico pay for it. They tell us to “remember the Alamo” but expect us to forget El Paso, Buffalo, Pittsburgh (Tree of Life) and the Atlanta spa shootings.
I don’t wanna hear shit else about Trump or the GOP “toning down their rhetoric” when the volume of the klan rally’s been at 💯 since 9/11 which is technically only a slight uptick from what they’ve been doing to Indigenous, Black and Brown people on American soil for CENTURIES.
