If you haven’t heard, Ted Cruz got the Park Service to do a “beautification” project at Union Station, in order to remove the FLARE & Veterans’ protest tents.
FLARE & the Veterans have set up a new site nearby. Like the Peace Vigil, resistance doesn’t go away just because MAGA wants it to!

every time I forget to do -ai to my search I get the most hideous bullshit possible
for instance, here is what happens when I search to see if there is such a thing as a 2-quart ziplock bag

ICE is kidnapping and locking up little kids, denying them medical care, and feeding them contaminated food.
They aren’t going after criminals, they are going after Black and brown people, because this isn’t about immigration, it’s about white supremacy.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

Plus, 50s sitcoms emerged when networks were being terrorized by (or in many cases, just folded to) the anti-communist blacklist & when Southern affiliates wouldn’t show Black faces. So the MAGA fantasy weirdly fixates on these shows to justify replicating the conditions that produced them
