"There are few things more terrifying than demagogic populism, sharpened dangerously into authoritarian rule, with minorities left at the mercy of those now in charge of writing and enforcing the laws. Yet that is precisely what is happening across much of Red State America today."

"That’s an increase of 408%.

In Massachusetts, where same-sex marriage has been recognized for almost 20 years, the number of youth exposed to anti-LGBT remarks is up 686% over the same time frame.

In Minnesota, where queer youth are protected by strong human rights laws, the number is up 520%. In Connecticut, it’s 482%. In New Hampshire, 545%."

"It’s no surprise that queer students in Republican-dominated stateswhere these laws have passed are profoundly impacted. But less visible is the dramatic effect the steady drumbeat of headlines has had on youth in places with even strong anti-discrimination laws."

"We are living through a vicious campaign of demonization and hostility toward the homeless. Networks like Fox News show endless videos of attacks by homeless people that present them as inherently unstable, violent and dangerous. Prominent voices speak of sweeping homeless people from the streets like trash, and cities have tasked the police with using force to solve the problem."

There are hateful men who seduce and inflame hateful audiences with hateful speeches, and they’re served by hateful men who write hateful speeches by which hateful audiences love to be seduced and inflamed.

Let’s STOP calling them by such tepid terms as “MAGA Republicans” and “Trumpers.” By this stage, anyone who still supports, promotes, tries to defend the GOP’s hateful, fascistic politics is a NAZI. Let’s call these people what they are: NAZIS.
“Very fine people?” Bullshit.

Everyone on the planet understands what a is and that blaming is evil. Yet it's so easy to ignore the eradication of while literally us for it. How sick! But we are the ones who are wrong for telling the and fighting for our own lives? Sick on the most extreme scale.

Looks like "spy balloons" didn't provide enough moral panic fuel, bread or circuses, so now they are doing the lab leak bollocks.

The Finnish national news that these days loves to quote sources like the WSJ and various figures in the true Finn party are actually headlining this crap.
