RESIST. Facts matter. Truth matters. Reality matters. Honesty matters. Integrity matters. Justice matters. Humanity matters. Act and vote accordingly. 🔵 in a red state. Husband. Dad. Ally to the marginalized. But mostly... Pretty darned nerdy.

Mon Mothma said what needed to be said in opposition to an evil, authoritarian regime.

Fictional Star Wars character Senator Mon Mothma addresses the Imperial Senate from her pod. Text reads:

"The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest."

I doubt there's any such "list".

We don't know who these masked fuckers are. Who's paying them. Who's funding them. How they're getting their dough. Who they report to.

And I doubt that the puppeteers are demanding any accountability.

Is the "wave of violence against ICE agents" in the room with you now, Pam?

This is no surprise to me. I've lived, worked with, and endured these shitheads for decades.

Republicans are odious people. They are racist to the core. They are authoritarian to the bone.

And they are assholes. Just. Plain. ASSHOLES.

Do the world a favor: don't be an asshole.

There's a limerick buried in there somewhere, I can feel it...

Don't forget evil.

Stephen Miller is an evil whacko weirdo madman.

If you don't want to be called "authoritarian" maybe don't act like authoritarians have throughout history.

Like moving the goalposts of language to justify armed suppression.

It's this gang of white supremacist terrorists versus the good people of this Republic.

"Reverse imposter syndrome" sums up this airhead perfectly.

If a masked thug approaches me with no law enforcement credentials, no badge, no warrant, and no probable cause, why should I respect their authority?

Thought experiment:

Any dedicated insurgent group could dress up in ICE goon gear, masked and armed, and murder or kidnap civilians or federal agents in broad daylight. And zoom away with no consequences.

Is that what we want?

It's not what I want.
