Dear MAGA
From one of our Canadian cousins, theofficialdawsonmckie over at Threads.
Dear MAGA,
Fuck off with the fake patriotism, the flag-wrapped tantrums, and the endless parade of red hats acting like they were personally appointed by God, Walmart, and an angry Facebook comment section.
You scream “freedom” while trying to control women’s bodies, queer people’s existence, books, classrooms, healthcare, history, elections, language, and whether somebody can wear a goddamn mask in a grocery store.
Your version of freedom is apparently just “I get to be loud, ignorant, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and never face consequences.” What a beautiful fucking little fantasy world you’ve built out of bumper stickers and lead paint.
You call everyone else snowflakes while having a full fucking emotional collapse because Target sold a rainbow shirt, a Black woman got promoted, a trans person asked to be treated like a human being, or somebody put oat milk in your coffee without saluting the Constitution first.
You do not care about children. You care about controlling women. You do not care about religion. You care about using Christianity as a weapon with a cross duct-taped to a fucking baseball bat.
You do not care about “the Constitution.” You care about whichever sentence you can drag out of it to justify being a cruel, loud, undereducated asshole in public.
You worship billionaires who would step over your fucking body to avoid paying you a living wage. You worship politicians who would not piss on you if you were on fire, unless a camera was rolling and they could turn it into a campaign ad. You call Trump a genius while he talks like a haunted rotisserie chicken with access to Wi-Fi.
Every time you say “do your research,” an actual book loses its will to live. Every time you say “common sense,” you mean whatever bullshit a guy named Dale yelled into a truck-stop microphone after three Coors Lights and a Facebook conspiracy video.
You keep calling yourselves patriots while cheering for authoritarian garbage, attacking elections when you lose, and treating democracy like a fucking vending machine that only counts if it gives you the candy bar you wanted.
That is not patriotism. That is toddler logic with firearms and a flag decal.
And the racism. The misogyny. The transphobia. The cruelty toward immigrants. The obsession with punishing anyone who does not look, pray, vote, fuck, love, or think exactly like you. You people have turned bitterness into a personality trait and ignorance into a goddamn hobby.
So no, I will not “respect your opinion” when your opinion is just cruelty wearing a flag pin.
I will not pretend your bigotry is bravery because you typed it in all caps. I will not treat your rage like intelligence because you added twelve crying-laughing emojis and misspelled “communist.”
Fuck MAGA. Fuck the cult behavior. Fuck the fake outrage.
Fuck the racist dog whistles, the misogynistic bullshit, the persecution fantasies, the fascist cosplay, and the endless whining from people who have confused being criticized with being oppressed.
You are not the silent majority. You are the loudest fucking embarrassment in the room.

The Circularity
You don't believe in god because you studied theology wrong.
And the reason I know you did it wrong is because you don't believe in god.
Call It A Win
...because it's a fucking win.
Young women now have 'close to zero' risk of cervical cancer death after HPV jab
3 days ago
Children vaccinated at age 12–13 against HPV (human papillomavirus) have close to zero risk of dying from cervical cancer before the age of 30, landmark new research reveals.
The first study of its kind shows deaths have fallen sharply since school-age girls began being offered it in 2008, and around 200 lives have been saved in England so far thanks to the vaccine.
Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24 - the first time that had happened over a five-year period.
Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected.
"It's incredible to think that a single jab can almost eliminate a particular type of cancer," said Prof Peter Sasieni, the lead researcher at Queen Mary University of London.
Overall, cervical cancer is still the 14th most common cancer among females in the UK, with 3,300 people diagnosed every year.
It is thought HPV, a virus which is spread through close skin-to-skin contact, causes 99% of those cases.
Most HPV infections clear up without any problems, but some cause abnormal cell changes and can lead to cancer years later.
The report's authors expect the numbers dying from the disease to continue to fall as more are given a HPV jab and vaccinated people grow older.
Cancer Research UK, which funded the research, described the findings as an "incredible milestone" but warned that vaccination rates in England were running below recommended levels.
"We know the HPV vaccine is extremely effective at stopping cervical cancer before it starts and for the first time these findings show it is saving lives," said the organisation's chief executive Michelle Mitchell.
'I'm a real advocate for this vaccine'
Alexandra Legg left school just before the HPV vaccine was introduced in England.
In 2021, just as she was planning her wedding, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer aged 30.
"I remember hearing the words and I just couldn't really breathe very well," she says.
"I was so upset - everything went through my head, it was so hard."
Her treatment involved the removal of lymph nodes in her abdomen, although surgeons were able to preserve a small part of her cervix, giving her a chance of becoming pregnant.
Alexandra and her three-year-old daughter Ivy, who was born after she had cervical cancer
Just a year later, Ivy was born. Her middle name is Marvella - meaning "miracle".
"Those nine months were so scary because I was at such risk of losing her at any point," she says.
Alexandra says her life could have been far less traumatic if she had been offered the HPV vaccine and urged those eligible to get it.
"I'm a real advocate for this vaccine and when Ivy is old enough, she'll be first in the queue," she adds.
Reduction in deaths 'tip of the iceberg'
Prof Sasieni, who specialises in cancer epidemiology at Queen Mary University of London, describes the reduction in deaths since the introduction of the vaccine as the "tip of the iceberg".
"As vaccinated generations grow older, we'll see many more lives saved from cervical cancer," he adds.
"New research shows just how vital it is to keep HPV vaccination levels high so more people are protected."
The UK government has pledged to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem by 2040.
But the latest data shows vaccination rates across the country have fallen below recommended levels.
Data from the UK Health Security Agency shows that 76% of girls in England were vaccinated by the age of 15 in 2024-25, well below the 90% that the World Health Organization (WHO) says is needed to eliminate cervical cancer.
"It's essential that the UK Government and health systems urgently address this with targeted action to reach communities where uptake is the lowest," says Michelle Mitchell at Cancer Research UK.
Dr Sharif Ismail from the UK Health Security Agency urged young people to come forward if they had missed being vaccinated.
Despite the rollout of the HPV vaccine, women aged 25 to 64 are still advised to attend cervical screening (formerly known as a smear test).
Boys have also been given the HPV vaccine since 2019, which helps to protect them against anal, penis, throat and mouth cancers, and reduces the risk of them passing the virus on to girls.
The Department of Health and Social Care in England said the study showed the "extraordinary impact of the HPV vaccination".
"We are boosting vaccine uptake so that more young people benefit from this life-saving protection - including rolling out catch-up HPV vaccination campaigns via community pharmacies," said a spokesman.
HPV self-testing kits are also being sent out to women who have not yet come forward for screening, he added.

It's the pipes, and the unfiltered river water, and the whole Style-Over-Substance thing that characterizes Trump's very existence.
