Fascists want you to starve, by the way. Images like the one I’ve shared on my page help them. This is part of the propaganda.
And that set is no exception.

How far right uses thinness to radicalise women and girls
The far right has normalised much of its ideology within mainstream politics – and ‘body fascism’ is part of that

If the Stargate producers have to coordinate with and get the approval of Hegseth's Department of "War," then I promise you that's a show that's going to be unfortunate and off-putting from day one.

Like clockwork the churches are trying to satiate the masses by saying “you must obey the law of the land” verse. Pathetic
That is the problem with thinking the law is an inherently moral thing. It is not. It never was. Slavery was the law. Jim Crow too. Sterilization of the disabled is the law.

I mean, why have a functioning society when you can have a dysfunctional one, right?!
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

The gutting of these rules coincides with a huge increase in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

This is a BIG reason I wrote Burn It Down. I was v tired of doing One Bad Man stories & wanted to shout from the rooftops that every He's Just One Bad Man is NOT a one-off--each 1 is propped up by multiple interlocking systems of enabling, protection & even celebration. The SYSTEMS are def evergreen
Terrific book that unfortunately remains evergreen.
ANYWAY! My 2023 book -- about systemic, institutionalized, longstanding patterns of misconduct, abuse, predation, and the enabling and even the celebration of same by the powerful -- was titled Burn It Down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 just sayin' bookshop.org/p/books/burn...

This is called “subsidized demand.”
Meaning this is what the government does in order to avoid having to lower housing prices.
Boomers are DYING OFF and cant sell their homes b/c no one can afford them so the market is stagnant. This is their solution b/c they REFUSE to let prices come down
