It's getting increasingly hard to argue that they don't just want poor people to die.
Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.
Thousands to lose access to HIV drugs with new cuts
An estimated 10,000 people are about to lose access to their HIV medication as the Florida Department of Health makes cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).

Some people are so afraid of people being queer and trans because we get to explore what our identities are and decide how we want to express that to the world

They don't want people to define or express themselves.

They have more power with people who just identify and live as they're told to.

American soldiers ended The Vietnam War because they knew that it was unjust, and they were not willing to tolerate their oppression anymore.

What you’re actually looking to criticize is willful ignorance: the choice to be uneducated or uninformed or misinformed in order to fulfill a morally corrupt agenda.

*Choice* is the operative word. Because intelligence (whatever that is) can’t be chosen

And CHOOSING ignorance IS morally bankrupt.

This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

This sounds like a good strategy: text your loved ones who are in the police or military. Don't be angry with them, talk to them. Speak to their humanity. What the government is doing to people right now is oppressive and they have the power to stop it collectively.

To save our country, your voice has to be louder ONLY to the people in your orbit. You don't have to convince the whole country to vote, just the people close to you.

If we all do that, we can overcome state propaganda.

About the midterms. It’s very simple.
We should only support Democrats who clearly want to abolish ICE / DHS.
No more training. No reduction in funding. No compromises.

The fundamental idea of TVP was that we could dramatically reduce strife by eliminating the basic mechanism of wealth accumulation that leads to poverty. They are probably right, and I think that we can make strides toward that goal and see real progress in our lifetimes.

“If we just keep voting for democrats no matter what this wouldn’t have happened” this is actually exactly how this happened from a long view

in other words, the more we demand we abolish ICE, the more other people will tell us that’s unpopular, or unstrategic. that’s why they are saying that: because it is becoming popular, and it is strategic (if your goal is “end ICE violence,” not “protect some Democrats from taking a stand on ICE”)

A reminder to avoid asking chatbots for advice and acting on it. I ran a test this morning, and ChatGPT told me that Poland was a great place for LGBT people to live. It's not.
