Jason, for you and JoJo and all you both give …

2024

We’re back on the ground.

Rise.

Something is bleeding profound.

Rise!

I have nothing left.

rise.

It’s absurd, just let me die.

Rise.

There’s a stick by my side.

rise.

Hellfish, I will not be bound.

Rise!

Rise.

rise.

Most of those threats come from proud members of the 101st Fighting Keyboards.

I love jojo! She speaks the truth. Isn’t threatening to rape a woman against the law? If not, it should be.

Yes, I am afraid now in public spaces and online where I wasnt before. And that pisses me off, which is a few steps up from fear. Anger precipitates action. Hurrah.

Well said! Jojo provides accurate perspective to the current MAGA shitstorm.

It’s not difficult to track me down - there aren’t a lot of people named “Mommadillo” running around. But coming to my house would be an extremely bad move, because I know where the weapons are and you don’t. Just saying.

Please stop calling these losers men. REAL men have to reach a higher bar. They are adults who care about their families & neighbors, don't bully or punch down, step in when they see bad behavior against those who can't fight back. Let's just stick calling the mouth-breathers "males", as we do with all other animals.

Why does it always come down to rape? Does violence and/or murder excite a man so much that he has to add this insult to injury?

Jojo gives voice to the fury I have regarding the current fucked up state of affairs in this country. While men can sympathize and Jason is a fellow traveler, women do feel a pervasive sense of fear these days. Trump has enabled the worst of his followers free rein to “own the libs” or at least kick the shit out of them. Intimidating those who oppose them is their form of a parlor game.

These men are vast and bottomless wells of insecurity.

Scared shitless, and intimidated by, literally everything and everyone. It's easy to make threats online, much harder to even talk with a woman face to face, much less threaten her in person.

JUST LIKE TRUMP. He's all in on the threats and insults online, but it's an entirely different story in real life situations. He's scared witless of Nancy Pelosi, ffs. She ran circles around him during his first term.

Imagine seeing a whiny, self proclaimed victim wearing diapers, girdle, shoe lifts and makeup….and seeing him as some kind of strongman, lol.

A lion won't have to constantly proclaim that it's a lion, nor will it cry that everything is rigged against it. It certainly wouldn't stoop to threatening lionesses online.

It would never feel that compulsion.

That's precisely why they don't act or sound like they think they've won, or are winning.

They look themselves in the mirror and know better.

Yeah, I used to follow her on Twitter before Space Nazi bought it and fucked it into fascist land.

Jo is tough and smart, exactly what MAGA incels do not like in women. They cannot intimidate her. Another fiery and tough woman is Tara Dublin. Their voices are anathema to pathetic "men"

I’m a big fan of both you and JoJo! Watching from the other side of the world (Australia) as Merica goes ‘through some stuff’ is surreal to me! I’m a Canadian by birth and I’m just speechless! Women get similar treatment here for having the nerve to speak our minds but we don’t have an orange hitler at the helm! If you’re willing and able to fly the 14 hours there’s sanctuary here. Please let JoJo know as I’m not a paid subscriber. Take care and stay safe!!
