Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 08 Apr 2025 - Praetorianism

 

Praetorianism

A midnight purge of disloyal military members who are then replaced by extreme loyalists of the dictator.  This sends an ominous message and establishes the foundations for authoritarian control of the government.  No branch of government has been safe from the installation of MAGA loyalists inside the Justice Department, the FBI , intelligence services, and other critical departments.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 07 Apr 2025 - A Very Nice Person

 

A Very Nice Person

Signature personal attacks by notable political opponents are often prefaced by this offensive term.  It is really an attack and dismissive put down, similar to "Bless your heart" spoken by a redneck southerner.  At best, it is a backhanded compliment intended as a negotiation tactic to catch them off guard while seeming civil.

Ministry of Truth Just Kidding Update - 04 Apr - 2025 - The Stud School of Drag

 

The Stud School of Drag

This first of its kind drag queen school will teach the fundamentals of drag performance from subject matter experts.  Topics include "the history of drag", "makeup 101", "creating character through costuming", "lip-synching", and "marketing fundamentals."  To emphasize the importance of this endeavor, a high-ranking Ministry of Truth official has been chosen as the first head mistress.  Drag needs to be normalized for a new generation, via library story hours and public diversity exposure.  Drag is more than just cross-dressing and fun, since it can also "be political, dark, scary, weird, emotional", and more.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 03 Apr 2025 - Old Laws

 

Old Laws

Socially responsible judges need to intervene in and disrupt all objectionable actions of the Executive or Legislative branches.  The Ministry of Truth controls the most powerful of the "co-equal" branches of government, the Judicial branch, and who is expected to "do the right thing" on demand.  Assertions of delegated power by the other branches are to be ignored, reinterpreted, or declared as obsolete "old" laws, just like the decrepit Constitution, in lieu of injunctions and orders by the "least of these" resistance judges.

Interpretive Dance

In lieu of winning elections, alternative protests against administration policies are required.  Protest dances, anti-DOGE actions, and "no spend" days bring attention and moral standing, while showing how upset the participants are, even if some renegade social media faces think they are stupid when people are actually dying.

Ministry of Truth Daily Update - 01 Apr 2025 - Hot Wheels

 

Hot Wheels

A label applied to a prominent opposition governor by a Jazzy representative of the Squad, saying that he boldly wheels immigrants around the country to sanctuary cities and flaunts his "disability".  Criticized by the right, and even some progressives, as sounding like an ableist slur, this "effective messenger" for the left has refused to apologize for the hot mess she has made, insisting that she was not referring to his "rolling" mobility issues.
