SAY NO TO CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM… said her t-shirt… i am told her name is peety… she told me her parents were italian immigrants who were in italy during ww2… they lived through fascism… they taught their children to never let it happen again… she says hell no to fascism… peety owns the hardware store and isn’t afraid to loose customers because of her politics…
we are ratcheting up to a moment of confrontation between blue states and red states… we are having the ground prepared for extrajudicial killings… we are breaking international law… the administration is moving us down the authoritarian road rapidly… what the administration is doing is wildly unpopular but they don’t care because they don’t plan to hold free and fair elections in 2026…
