"Go to hell, John Roberts. You did this to us and history will remember you as every bit the villain as Trump. With the notable exceptions of Brown-Jackson, Sotomayor and Kagan, the Roberts Court will live in infamy like the one that delivered the Plessy ruling. Believe that."

Sarah Jones, raised in a white evangelical household where James Dobson's books on child-rearing were prominently displayed and where her father followed Dobson's advice to beat her, opens her remembrance of Dobson by saying,

"About ten years ago, I created a Google alert so I’d know the moment James Dobson died."

But if you're concerned about #Trump & #RFK undermining #science & #medicine, the consensus is there for #transgender #healthcare, so you should be just as concerned about anti #trans rhetoric & anyone regurgitating it as you are for #antivax rhetoric. It's ALL #antiscience bullshit.

I do wish people would treat #transphobia as the serious #redflag it is, cos if someone is repeating bullshit #pseudoscience talking points from #rightwing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to #antivax nonsense & undermining trust in #science & #medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

Finally:

"There is arguably no path to Trump without Dobson, and it begins with the broadcaster’s commitment to violence and ideological rigidity."

Then:

"Dobson did not hit me; my father did. But Dobson told him that he was right to hit me, that God gave him permission. That if he hit me, I would obey my parents and the Lord, and that everything would be all right because to strike a child is to love her."

And:

"Now that Dobson is dead, it is easier to see the scope of his legacy."

"A childhood like mine is a personal tragedy with political dimensions. Dobson served tyranny all his life, and over time, he sought to enshrine it in the highest seats of power. To him and his heirs, the American home is a laboratory; they inflict suffering in private to better reproduce it in public."

They used #racial ideology to construct a global division of #labor, a massively inequitable global division of #wages, & a global #hierarchy of rights. Racial ideology was promoted so aggressively that it developed its own momentum of #hatred & #violence.

#Racism, like #imperialism itself, is not a side-show to #capitalism but a structurally necessary feature of it. It is not a standalone problem that can be addressed with a few #liberal #reforms here & there. It has always been central to capitalism & it remains that way today.
