The MAGA Misogyny Is Manifest.

Wheels of Life, 1900 

"America" by Claude McKay

Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,

And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,

Stealing my breath of life, I will confess

I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!

Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,

Giving me strength erect against her hate.

Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.

Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state,

I stand within her walls with not a shred

Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.

Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,

And see her might and granite wonders there,

Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,

Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

BAKED AVOCADOS

“Loyalty, Not Opinions.”

Dig this all you hepcats and true believers — Baked Avocados #2 just washed ashore. This one’s a mind-melt of power suits, word salad, and synchronized eyeball espionage. Maggie Megaphone and The Goldfather are here to deliver their patented blend of loyalty cult logic and deep-fried dystopia — served hot with a side of Orwellian tap dance. Don't ask questions (seriously, don’t — they hate that). Just soak it in, nod slowly, and garner the kind of wisdom you get from eating expired freedom fries. More panels are paddling in, so tune in, zone out, and let the madness mellow. The avocado has ripened — Let’s Guac!
