Google the phrase “moral panic” to contextualize the conservative movement’s response to the power shift that is/was starting to occur in this county, and to make sense of the events dominating the news this last week.

There are literally hordes of right wing Karens calling managers across the country to report the expression of free speech about someone who supposedly championed free speech.

Got it.

The right is fabricating a false narrative of white victimization, a strategy that harps back to when enslaved people were freed and white folks clutched their pearls in fear. We think of Jim Crow as a thing of the past, yet the right is trying to usher in an anti-left/LGBTQ+ Jim Crow 2.0.

White supremacy is responsible for the tragic incident in Minneapolis, not the sh**ter’s gender identity. Pushing the false and hateful narrative that trans folks are dangerous only increases their risk of being harmed.

Get it right, folks.

3/ More receipts on Chaplain Ric Smith…

AmRen, which Ric defended, is affiliated with the white supremacist New Century Foundation which promotes blatantly anti-Black beliefs.

2/ Looks like Chaplain Ric Smith has also demonstrated against people’s rights to bodily autonomy regarding reproductive medical care.

No one deserves to unknowingly get palliative or hospice care from a racist confederate anti-choice Chaplain.

Remember when MAGA decried J6 covid-denier extremist candidate Michele Morrow who had wished death upon many prominent public figures? Yeah, the hypocrisy runs deep.

5/ Raleigh street evangelist Sean Keene joined Nelson Paul’s pitiful hate display in Morrisville (left photo) but was quickly drowned out and deplatformed by community members. He’s likely to pop up again, as he tried to evangelize at a festival in Raleigh in 2024 (right photo).

2/ The millstone replicas with pride colors painted around the edges and biblical verses written on them suggest violence against the LGBTQ+ community.

We knew Moms For Liberty were transphobic book banners, but they're not even hiding their disdain for anything related to Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈 anymore. At the end of the day, they advocate only for white cishet kids but want to parent ALL kids.
