#Christofascists are well aware they are destroying the USA. It’s what they want. Arguing with them cannot work. They don’t care. Armageddon is literally what they value and yearn for in terms of meaning: the violent end of the world. Eschaton is the name of the Yahwist game and always has been. Apocalypse as sadomasochistic catharsis.

#ElonMusk and Texas governor celebrate firing of worker over pronouns in email signature

Billionaire #Trump ally and #GregAbbot tweet about Frank Zamora, who was let go after refusing to remove pronouns

“However, we have chosen to make them a politicized topic and a hot-button issue. I felt that this order was strictly passed down to appease a certain political movement, and that it was strictly done, essentially, to win a culture war. And I do not believe that the #LGBTQ+ community – trans individuals, non-binary, intersex or any individuals who choose to display their preferred pronouns – deserve to be made political collateral or to be put on the chopping block.”

"The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, and, later, Elon Musk showed support on Wednesday for the firing of a state employee who refused to remove his pronouns from his work email signature.

"#FrankZamora, 31, was let go from his job as a program manager at the Texas real estate commission (TREC) last month because he refused to comply with a mandate from the organisation to employees to remove gender pronouns from email signatures.

"'I actually anticipated this coming, just because we knew that many changes that were being made at the federal level were being mimicked at the state level,' Zamora said.

"Abbott celebrated the move on X, sharing a report from the Austin American-Statesman on the firing and writing: 'A Texas state employee refused to remove pronouns from email signature. He was fired before noon.'"

#Demonstrators across 50 states look to unify a disparate opposition to #Trump and his sweeping agenda

ATLANTA (AP) — "As Donald Trump prepared Tuesday to address a joint session of Congress, #protest groups gathered at parks, statehouses and other public grounds across the country to assail his presidency as #dangerous and #UnAmerican.

"The rallies and marches — set in motion by the fledgling #50501Movement, a volunteer-driven group organized in the weeks after Trump’s inauguration — mark the latest attempt at national resistance to the hardened support of Trump’s '#MakeAmericaGreatAgain' base and the success it has had in reshaping the Republican Party in the president’s populist image.

"Yet some early scenes Tuesday vividly demonstrated the difficulty Democrats, progressives and everyday citizens face in marshaling a tangible response to Trump and the swift, sweeping actions of his second administration. Protesters have so many things to push back against — from tariffs to Trump’s reset on the war in Ukraine to the aggressive and sometimes legally dubious actions of the Department of Government Efficiency and its leader, billionaire #Elon Musk, that it’s hard to know what to focus on."

Trump Brags He “Brought Back Free Speech” Hours After Calling to Ban “Illegal” Protests

On the same day he floated cutting funding at schools hosting “illegal” protests, Trump took a free speech victory lap.

By Akela Lacy, March 4, 2025

"'You can’t claim to stand for free speech while threatening schools’ funding to silence anti-war students,' said Tariq Habash, a former staffer in president Joe Biden’s Department of Education who resigned over Biden’s handling of the war on Gaza. Habash is now co-founder and director of the advocacy group A New Policy. 'These efforts are not just antidemocratic, they’re illegal and a direct attack on academia, students, and faculty.'"

Trump talks ‘#FreeSpeech’ while moving to muzzle those he disagrees with

By Kevin Rector
Jan. 26, 2025

- As part of a broader rollout of executive orders, President Trump called for an end to government censorship, including on social media.
- Critics said they found the order absurd given Trump’s long record attacking speech and his other actions aimed at curtailing the speech of journalists, government experts, LGBTQ+ people and others.

"In one of his first acts in office, President Trump issued an executive order promising to end government censorship and restore free speech.

"The order accused the outgoing Biden administration of harassing social media companies and violating the rights of ordinary Americans “under the guise” of combating disinformation online, and said federal resources would no longer be used to “unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.”

"The order echoed a recurring theme from Trump’s campaign — that liberals across the federal government are censoring conservative voices to advance their own '#woke' agenda — and immediately resonated with his followers.

"'This order is a critical step to ensure the government cannot dictate what speech is permissible or weaponize private entities to enforce censorship,' said Mark Trammell of the Center for American Liberty, a conservative rights group founded by California attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon, Trump’s nominee to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. [Oh, but it's OKAY for Trump & crew to censor others?!!]

"However, many others said they found Trump’s order absurd — both because of his long track record of attacking speech he doesn’t like, and because of his new administration’s simultaneous efforts to muzzle people it disagrees with, including #journalists, federal #HealthOfficials, #teachers, #diplomats, #ClimateScientists and the #LGBTQ+ community." [And now they are doing it by cutting FUNDING!!!]

When the real #WitchHunts begin, remember... Anyone the #ChristianRight doesn't like is considered a witch! Just like in the 1600s! Piss off the proctor? You're a witch! Have more land than Goodie Smith? You're a witch! Are you a man with a husband? You're a witch!

Concerns Over Targeting of Pagan Community in #Pickens, #SouthCarolina

By Manny Moreno | February 25, 2025

Excerpt: "On February 18, a YouTube video titled 'Witches Be Crazy with Pastor Barry Vaughn' was released by Kevin Harden of Gaining Ground Ministries. The video opens with Harden quoting Deuteronomy 18:9-12, which warns against practices like divination, sorcery, and necromancy.

"Pastor Barry Vaughn and Harden discuss a recent witchcraft festival in Pickens and their efforts to evangelize at the event. Vaughn confirms his presence and states that he and others initially protested outside the venue, later entering the facility before being told to leave.

"Following the backlash, Stillwater Christian Fellowship escalated its response through sermons, podcasts, and videos. Members called on pastors to 'chase the wolves out', a phrase that critics argue refers to witches, #LGBTQIA+ individuals, and #AbortionRights supporters.

"Vaughn later clarified in a video that he does not promote violence but supports the enforcement of what he calls 'God’s law.'" [What about eating shellfish? Or mixing threads together? HYPOCRITES!]

Ah yes, the #RWNJ retrogrades who want to go back to pre-Vatican II and think Papa Francisco is a libertine demon wanting to host open air orgies in St Peter's Basilica. With friends like that. . .

I am so glad to be a happy heathen.
