A deep analysis of #TheHandmaidsTale series & the terrifying parallels between the show and our current socio-political climate. #BLM 🏳️‍🌈 #resist

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Sometimes life imitates art and if this show is what helped people finally wake up to our reality, then so be it. It’s way, way past time to put complacency and fear aside. Fight. #RoeVsWade

I saw something last might about this. How MAGAs are no longer gloating about "liberal tears" because liberals aren't crying.

The first time was a shock.

The second time everyone knew exactly what they were doing.

So liberals see this, rightly, as an assault on American values and the futures of their children and grandchildren.

They're not crying, they're cutting fascists out of their lives because now they've got to deal with the world the trolls made.

And so the trolls are all stuck with one another now, but the problem is their primary motivation was gloating over the Liberal Tears. So they're out of steam. And the MAGAs actually fucking hate *each other* too, so I'm the absence of snowflake tears they're quickly going to turn on one another.

When you elect fascism in my country you have told me who you are. You are full of hatred for the most vulnerable people in our society. You don't care about the environment or public health or education or human rights or the rule of law.

Fine, but we don't owe you a second more of our lives so you can feel better reveling in our sadness. We've gotta deal with the shitshow you've brought to our shores, so suck it up, buttercups.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Judge blocks Wyoming's first-in-the-nation abortion pill ban days before it was set to take effect.

“We treat Moms for Liberty like the KKK. If you knew that a KKK meeting was happening in a church down the street from your house, everyone would be alarmed.”

Flushed with hate. Mouths agape:
Moms for Liberty is a far-right hate group that engages in anti-student inclusion activities while purporting to be a modern parental rights movement. Moms for Liberty are the notorious, right-wing zealots who terrorize the nation with their beliefs, their demands, and their dangerous ubiquity.

Moms for Liberty made their national debut in America on the Rush Limbaugh Show.

The GOP LOVES MFL: Of late, this extremist group has exploded in GOP popularity — propelled by opposition to public health regulations for COVID-19. They’re also notorious for opposing LGBTQ+ culture and racially inclusive school curriculum. MFL advocates book bans. Republicans are thrilled with all of the above, of course.

This anti-student inclusion hate group has waged a wicked war against public schools, with watchdog members pouncing to seize hundreds of school board seats across the country.

Moms for Liberty rail against teachers’ unions — condemning them as “terrorist organizations.” The Moms have called for the Department of Education to be crushed and eliminated.

Moms for Liberty’s attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are plentiful and poisonous.

Members of MFL even helped Gov. Ron DeSantis develop Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Moms for Liberty publicly championed the bill.

Moms for Liberty are fangirls of Adolf Hitler, quoting and saluting him on the cover of their June 2023 newsletter.

Purportedly on a mission to protect children, Moms for Liberty pack and attack school board meetings all across America. During the COVID crisis, they decried science and demanded an end to masking in schools and vaccine mandates.

MFL promote book bans, and denounce curricula infused with the critical race theory they deem so deeply offensive. The Moms stand opposed to inclusive curriculum: targeting critical race theory and social emotional learning with particular vitriol.

TIES TO AN INSURRECTIONIST: Trump campaign megadonor Julie Jenkins Fancelli — heiress to the Publix grocery store chain — contributed $50,000 to a Moms for Liberty political action committee. Never forget, Fancelli also donated millions to finance and support the January 6 rallies which lead to the violent storming of the Capitol Complex.

One chapter of Moms for Liberty took issue with a book by Ruby Bridges on the subject of school integration — detailing her experiences. The Moms also protested a book on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which they bashed as “Anti-American, Anti-White, and Anti-Mexican.” Rather than these books, which they deemed unacceptable, the Moms advocated for books with what they describe as a more positive historical perspective: books that focus on American “heroes” like Clarence Thomas.

Moms for Liberty also recommends books by Birchers: supporters of the John Birch Society.

Moms for Liberty is not an isolated anti-woke, anti-government hate group. The Moms are quite socially active and have strong connections to fellow anti-woke, anti-government hate groups: White nationalists, election deniers, and participants in the January 6th rallies and attacks are all among MFL’s regular contacts.

In fact, Moms for Liberty connect with QAnon, Three Percenters, White nationalist Proud Boys, and more. Moms for Liberty have even been prominently pictured with various Proud Boys, flashing White power signs.

As we celebrate #Juneteenth, let us keep in mind that African Americans during the Civil War distinguished between *abolishing slavery* and *freeing people.* Many formerly enslaved people did not feel *free* in 1865 and thereafter, and they clearly articulated why. A thread 1/

The Southern Baptist Convention has voted overwhelmingly to expel churches for having female pastors.

Of course, this was going to happen.

Men force women and girls to deliver.

Men dictate what women wear.

Men dictating reproductive care.

Once you start taking freedoms away no one is off limits.

BREAKING: Country music superstar Garth Brooks defies Republicans, declares that he will absolutely serve Bud Light as his new bar — and if conservatives don’t like it, they can take their business elsewhere.

But it gets even better….

The country icon declared that, “If you come into this bar, you just love one another. Otherwise, there are plenty of other places on Lower Broadway to go. Diversity. Inclusiveness. That's me. It's always been me. I think that diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the answer to the problems that are coming. So I love diversity."

Well said, Garth!

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Garth Brooks for standing up for the LGBTQ+ community — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1 million raised from 2,650 of its users.
