The biggest threat emerges whenever we declare a GROUP of humans "subhuman", overtly or implicitly.
When we assume their lives less valued, it's we we condemn.
Do you think immigrants are stealing your jobs, driving up home prices on sharecroppers wages, committing more crimes than native-born, or that being bilingual threatens you, you might suffer Immigrant Derangement Syndrome IDS.
No cure, sadly.

The "Epstein Dancers", Donald? I hear the "trump" Kennedy Center needs new acts, all the legit artists keep pulling.

What could celebrate our brotherhood better, my BFF?

Artists keep pulling out of "trump" Kennedy Center. But don't worry they have kid rock, is Ted Nugent still alive? Lee Greenwood can sing his one song.

Haven't been able to confirm the "Epstein Dancers".
Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

If your buddy survived through heroism of self or others in mortal combat, we rightly respect.

The people who saved you with vaccines, whose weapon was experimentation, expect no medals or honorifics.

They'll never ask that of you.

They're happy to die anonymously.

The moment you accept, however unconsciously, the idea that Gazans, indigenous people somewhere, people of different skin color, are implicitly of less value than others, you're part of the problem.
Don't do that? I guarantee, none of us is as pure as imagined.

Look deeper, friend.

In #YLE, Katelyn and Hannah tell us of public health successes of 2025, and they exist.

But no human is more invisible, than he or she who still breathes-
But through the intervention of public health.

Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Chile. I have friends in multiple places that recently or currently suffer control by fascists and their allies. Sadly, I keep up with few.
They, like I, must watch what they say.

Let's see then. A building in which potus and a few chosen hundred might exist, free for risk of shootings, of drone attack?

Is that a ballroom, or a bunker?

Whatever its practitioners might seek, or achieve, in their personal lives through racism, they are empty people living in self-imposed misery.
Their hate shortens their lives, but no worries.

There are always more.
December 30, 2025 at 10:29 PM
The shock of 2025, really 2016, was not that racism still lurks.
Any minority member coulda told you that.

The shock is that our world must still openly encumber it in public discourse.

Like it's valid. Like they have a fucking point.

If you're well off, or not so much, and want to lower your income for tax purposes it's not too late to give a charitable gift to a local animal shelter. You have 1 more day.

Is it just my conceit, yours too maybe?
That human beings, learning of the suffering of other humans, just like them-

Wish that they not suffer?

What happened to that.

The children of Gaza are indistinguishable from children of privileged white midwesterners.
They want toys, they want to feel safe.

They need food, clean water.

Their genocide has no excuses.
Not a one.
December 30, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Look, Gaza has been forsaken by the world for a long time. Alexander conquered it 2.5 millennia back despite its wall fortifications. He killed all men women and children who resisted his attacks. Or not.
All of 'em, as he did in Tyre.
December 30, 2025 at 6:21 PM
What if our most noisy, hate-filled miscreant, bleating nonsense incessantly- knew from day 1 she was spreading hate, and vaporous conspiracy?
Now says she grew up?
Are we to take her seriously now? Why?

Do we look stupid?

We don't like starvation used as a method in war in Gaza for a reason.
Starvation is enormously painful and cruel, and most victims are kids.
Children. Think on that.

Genocide is NEVER excusable.

Nothing significant happened when a ceasefire was declared in Gaza. IDF still massacres Gazan children at will. Bombs still fall.

The ceasefire is more #FakeNews.
December 30, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Dear Leader assures that Hamas (aka, "the children of Gaza") will have hell to pay if they don't capitulate to Bibi's terror.

But Gazans are already familiar with hell.

Potus L forepaw is showing wear and tear too, suggesting aspirin and handshaking don't explain R forepaw ecchymoses.

Why is he getting multiple IVs?
Why does he take aspirin?
Why doesn't he know how to use concealer?

Why do I SO appreciate having been blessed with a near-free, decades long education in science?
Not to act superior. Not to pretend such knowledge made me a better person.

Nope, the number 1 reason I adore the gift I got is this.

It helps immensely in cutting through the crap.
December 30, 2025 at 2:51 PM
The reason we don't like random fishermen obliterated off Colombia isn't obscure.
The reason it disturbs us- or should- that children are dying for lack of food in Gaza?

IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE HUMAN.

Are we not?
December 30, 2025 at 2:45 PM
Hamas says it'll fight to the bitter end, won't give up its weapons. Its land, Gaza has been essentially obliterated.
Nothing left to blow up despite Dear Leader threatening all hell.

Expect US will do some performative crap for the Base, send rubble aloft.

Pathetic.
