solarbird: (korra-on-the-air)

I’ve got another very busy day so no essay for your Friday, I’m afraid. But I do have a follow-up.

Remember that article I posted recently about how the the fundamentalist – now Christofascist/MAGA – movement grinds out fake “science,” the methods they use, and how they’ve been adapted by the right in general? I gave a few examples, the most recent of which was the Cass Report against gender affirming therapy in Britain.

Well, the British Medical Association are calling them on it and demanding that absolutely none of it be implemented.

It’s good to see action starting to be taken over there. The Tory-American fundamentalist alliance has been allowed to go too far for too long.

The latest followup on Elon Musk’s efforts to use the former Twitter as a fascist propaganda fountain continues, with his suspension of the White Dudes for Harris account, clearly in retaliation for their highly successful fundraiser for Harris.

His MAGA/pro-Trump PAC is also running ads that intentionally mislead people into thinking they’re registering to vote online. Instead of registering you to vote, it all goes into their PACs database for individually-targeted propaganda.

Tell your friends and family about that one in particular, it’s extra skeevy even for Musk.

Trump keeps saying he’s really not concerned about the votes, that ‘we have all the votes we need,’ so here are a few relevant stories on that:

Remember that flurry last week about “you won’t have to vote anymore“? Well, as one might expect, given the chance to back off of that on Fox News, he doubled down on it instead.

All that MAGA asks is that you give Trump unending power and limitless immunity from the law, and in return, you get to have… uh… unending fealty to Diaper Don and… uh… MAGA!!!

Man, if you thought ear bandages day was weird, wait’ll you get to diaper week.

oh wait, it's extra weird. five trump supporters at a rally wearing a mix of "DIAPERS OVER DEMS" and "REAL MEN WEAR DIAPERS" T-shirts, and yeah I found several sources saying this is actually real, as much as my brain wants to refuse it.

Remember to work on your Trumpy family and friends today, everybody. Let them know what’s at stake, because the media won’t. And good luck.

94 days remain.
