The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyβre tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Social media post. The text: Tony Rush β’ I'm going to say this is gently as I can because I have friends and family who have particular beliefs, and I genuinely do not want them to feel attacked. The doctrine of a "rapture" is a 19th century invention. Literally for 90% of the time between Jesus Christ and now, Christians did not believe in a rapture. It was largely invented by a man named John Nelson Darby. Later, people like Clarence Larkin popularized "dispensationalism" which made its way into the Scofield Bible and became the foundation for all kinds of theological fiction like Hal Lindsey's "Late Great Planet Earth" and Tim Lahaye's "Left Behind" novels and movies. Literally none of this is Biblical. It's not even Christianity. It belongs exclusively to American evangelicalism. That is, these eschatological teachings are practically unknown among the countless millions of Christians outside the United States. So, when you see people pointing to current events in North Africa and southwest Asia and saying "End Times".... that's not Biblical theology. That is dispensational fan-fiction cosplaying as truth.
Reminder that A LOT of what is being used in Christian nationalism is 100% added to the Bible and not original text.
Christian Nationalism is a fascist cosplay of biblical fantasy fiction
My god this is a moodβ¦particularly today

Oh godsβ¦they want to make a school wide announcement and send flowers.
No thank you. I donβt want to explain to everyone my loss and I donβt want things that will die at my husbandβs memorial art show.
Contribute to the GoFundMe and come If you want. Donβt need flowers. Itβs in a garden FFS.
How many times do I have to say, NO THANK YOU I DONβT DANCE FOR THE PRESS
My husband was a veteran serving in Saudi and Kuwait. My grandfather was a WW2 silver star recipient. My other grandfather fought in the Korean War and Vietnam.

Iβve gotten THREE EMAILS asking about my t-shirt size even though my day off is in the books and EVERYONE KNOWS my husband is gone.
How many times do I have to say, βno thank you. My husband is dead and Iβm grieving that week.β
I get some folks may not know, but Iβm really fucking tired.
Whatβs worse? They make custodial staff and food service SERVE US instead of catering out. Itβs also during finals weekβ¦our busiest time.
It is degrading in every possible way.
I take a personal day each year.
Iβve unintentionally planned my husbandβs celebration of life that week. Iβm not going.
I loathe our schoolβs version of βmandatory fun dayβ.
They make faculty attend.
We arenβt allowed to do our actual job.
If we donβt go, we are retired to take a personal day.
Weβre forced to wear t-shirts and compete.
The press photograph us.
Students arenβt involved.
This. Is. Hell. To. Me.

Yes, ICE and ISIS sound the same, but they are different. They are state-sponsored terrorists sponsored by different states.
Please do some independent research and look into any programs you wanna join particularly if youβre part of a marginalized community.
Ask former students and other professionals what they think about the instructors and curriculum.
Ensure anonymity when asking these questions.
Red flags π©
Before joining a program, ask yourself
Do any marginalized students graduate from it? How many and how often?
Are the instructors socially diverse? How many?
Do they have a wellness program?
Is counseling available?
Is there appropriate mentorship?
Do professionals recommend it?
In my current position, I donβt have these problems. I do, however, make certain to talk with students who are part of a marginalized community to make certain they understand what the π© are in academia.
If you are a, βhope for the best and well wishingβ kind of person, you might miss the π©
If we ask for help, we get stigmatized. If we have a trauma response and report whatβs going on, we get stigmatized.
So many women just suffer silently without support professionally in academia.
There is no recourse. People will treat you like π© because you being harassed is inconvenient
You can only advocate for yourself so much. If people have made up their mind about you, it does not matter what evidence you have.
This is a huge problem in academia, particularly with women and the trauma they experience in their lives
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
I still am dealing with the after effects of trauma where my brain is cruel to me because I was treated poorly by some men and a woman in academia.
Despite being praised and finishing all of my exams (with exams left over that I did not need to take), I was still treated poorly.
Then women get re-traumatized having to deal with men (and women) who are being negligent, disrespectful, and professionally harmful from the consistent blackballing of women who had no support or understanding in dark times of their lives.
These women get thrown under the bus professionally.
Since a lot of men do not experience life the way women do, they label women as being a problem, chaotic, emotional, and irrational
When the fact of the matter is, they just donβt believe women and that women experience life often with horrific trauma
This is a systemic problem, and Iβm sick of it
Often times my brain is quite cruel to me in reminding me about periods in my life where I was struggling and systems failed me.
I cringe at the way I responded because I was being traumatized at the time.
Academia rarely has support for harassed and abused women. They often punish these women.
Iβve been called all kinds of things by lesser men and women when Iβve advocated for myself and the marginalized.
Complacency is lethal to progress particularly in terms of womenβs rights.
STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS WITHOUT APOLOGY
