The Cherokee Nation does not use blood quantum measures to determine membership.

Shhhhh...don't summon the ghost of Jonah "Father Coughlin was a Social Justice Leftist Fascist" Goldberg!

But you see, the way we love our neighbor is by telling them they are wrong and are going to hell unless they live like we do. It’s hateful to do otherwise.

I love how right wing American Christianity has basically become “What if we did The Bible, but only the parts where we get to stone people we don’t like?”

Today’s episode of “Not The Onion.”

The Cherokee do not use a blood quantum measurement to determine tribal membership. As the article (written by a Cherokee man) shows, there’s no reason to impugn the authenticity of Mullin’s identity.

It would be interesting to know if this sort of cynical, right wing identity politics messaging, using his Cherokee identity as a shield, played a role in the Trump admin’s decision to nominate Mullin to this post.

Get ready for the “DHS can’t possibly be racist because it’s led by a Native American” talking points on steroids.

Markwayne Mullin is for Trump – and Indian Country - High Country News The Cherokee congressman, who is hard-right and white-passing, may not seem like an Indigenous lawmaker, but he’s no anomaly.

“Mullin is an ultra-conservative, white-passing Cherokee who has been an advocate for both tribal sovereignty and for encouraging tribes to assert that sovereignty by allowing private energy production on their lands.”

I’m generally opposed to the military draft, but I think we should temporarily reinstate it to draft just this one specific incel staffer who produced this video so that they can be immediately be inducted into the infantry and sent into combat in Iran.

For people who blather so much about Western Civilization and how they’re supposedly saving it, it’s like they’ve never heard of the canonical Ancient Greek concept of “hubris.”

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

Not thrilled to be living in a rogue murder state with a military led by a day drinking, rapey youth pastor.

This is a thought-provoking definition of conservatism

"This, in a nutshell, is conservatism: The ideology does care about upholding the social order, but only those parts of it that are considered extra-human in origin, man-made deviations from that are to be disdained, rejected, or even purged."

America, First [Country to Bomb/Invade _____ Since _____].

Someone should create a parody account that just tweets out what Trump would be tweeting if Harris had won and was presiding over this economy and this war.

My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

First, a bit odd to be fighting a war where our main ally is Israel and the others are Muslim and imply we are fighting to stay "Christian nations under God" 🤨

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

"I respect Bernie Sanders because he's an open socialist, and you know that he's a communist so you know what you're getting. Rand Paul's a freaking snake. And I understand completely why his neighbor did what he did. And I told him that to his face."

This is what Markwayne Mullin said about Rand Paul a couple weeks ago.

Anyway, guess who chairs the Senate Homeland Security Committee

A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # “Revolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧵

If there’s one thing you can say about Donald Trump, he sure knows how to pick’em.

Correction. Orwell never said this. He did however, warn that: "political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” (That's Politics and the English Language, one of my favorite essays)

Markwayne Mullin Reportedly Fingered Nostrils of Colleagues and Their Spouses During Visit to Israel

what fresh hell

Kristi Noem is stepping down so she can spend more time with her families.

I look forward to Noem’s replacement bungling the job and getting called Lil’ Markwayne by Trump.

Many people are saying that Noem has called Trump to ask for a blanket pardon.

E.T.

DT. Dethrone Noem.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse than the rampantly corrupt paramour of Corey Lewandowski who auditioned for her job by bragging about executing the family dog in a gravel pit, here comes Mr. Two-names Mullin off the top rope.

Again, for those paying attention, this is not new!
