You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

I've read stories of struggling filmmakers maxing out credit cards and hustling multiple jobs and coercing family members to help make their stuff, and I can understand not wanting to go into debt, but if this is the alternative? Jfc.

This thread. I think it's incredibly important to remember that the TERF fragility/rabidity started to take off right around the height of me too, and the main message they had was "men are inherently violent."
They targeted trans WOMEN, while at the same time excusing actual violence from cis men.

MeToo was intentionally co-opted by the type of 'feminist' that berates and abuses people for not conforming to gender, while insisting that a uterus makes a woman...

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...
Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Oregon literally banned freed slaves and black ppl from living or owning property in the state.
Ofc they didn't do this by passing a law.
THEY PUT IT IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION.

I think we need to be careful with conflating "leans Democratic" with "not racist" Maine has a long legacy of racism. So does Oregon which is a blue state. Oregon was literally conceived as a white supremacist fever dream. And the KKK ruled Indiana for a period.
