True justice would be if Klein, Yglesias, the Pod Bros, and all of the white dude pundits would take a 4 year sabbatical from commenting on politics.

Neither major Democratic Senate candidate in Texas has a single video up about SNAP or where Texans can find resources or donate. Colin Allred at least has a few posts on X about it, but only politicos will see it.

Both campaigns need a serious recalibration.

“What fascisms old and new have in common is they tend to look to women to fill in the gaps that the state misses."

And, I'd add, they get women to fill these gaps by making patriarchy's coattails the only way means by which women can achieve security or esteem.

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home

Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.

If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.
