That Irish-American anti-racist you heard about. Queer and mad.
Anyone can choose to be an anti-racist, but time is running out. Please, fix your hearts if you want to live.

You need to get over yourself and accept that you keep losing because you keep backing racist losers with nothing to offer but reheated white grievance politics, in a primary that lives and breathes by the votes of Black and Jewish people lmao.
This might actually be my finest work.

Being raised in a society where thinking about race is optional means you've gotta be intentional in your steps, especially those of you with "ally" in your bios.
I watch fellow white folks lean into that "optional" path every day and it's obvious.

I've never made any suggestions for a course of action white people could take not to be racist that was actually too hard for them to humanly manage or unreasonable here. The only reason they don't choose them is they have more fun being racist.

The 99c avocado and 20c slice of bread combo has been replaced by something even more exotic and expensive — the $4.99 Costco chicken.
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.

To bring it home again to how the Palestinian genocide is only as distant from you as you want, you can talk to a Palestinian who knows people who've actually been evaporated whenever you want. The crowdfunders that annoy you in Gaza do. They can give you testimony. And you can easily help them.

This is the part they neve4 address. If you sat out or didn't vote for Harris, whst did you accomplish? I'll answer. Not a damn thing. Nothing. Killed more people if killing people was the red line. That is fact.
Your red line did absolutely nothing in 2024 and, in fact, actively made things worse in every way.
So you're deciding to do all that *again*?
So you're deciding to do all that *again*?
the burden is on the people and a big first step is refusing to vote for people who violate red line issues like advocating for continued funding to Israel and reforming ICE. if you vote for them regardless, what’s the point of having a red line?

Because, oddly enough, Anglo-Saxon colonialism is a cause pretty fucking near and dear to my heart, you fucking harpy. I support a united Ireland. I support Land Back movements in North America. Hawaiian independence. Palestinian independence. It's all of a piece.

So, your argument against the dignity, self-determination, and agency of the Hawaiian people boils down to "there are more of us than there are of them."
Pathetic.

Hawaii is not a 1950s African colony where there's a tiny white minority of elites repressing an ethnic majority against their will. It's a diverse polity with universal suffrage which fairly and democratically voted for statehood in the United States.

This is just the hand-wringing of every colonizer when the people they've displaced and repressed begin to push back. Land Back and restorative justice for Native peoples are inherent goods worth pursuing.
Given that your proposed alternative is an ethnonationalist state where a tiny minority rules over an oppressed majority, it is, at this point, a virtuous position. The only other alternative is ethnic cleansing.

By "Hawaii independence dead enders," are you referring to the Hawaiian Natives at the heart of the ke ea Hawaiʻi campaign? Cuz, uh, yikes.

my favorite part of the Hawaii independence dead enders is that they are also almost universally anti-tourism
and it’s like, you realize that as an independent country Hawaii would have to be *even more reliant on tourism* to sustain its economy and standard of living
