It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

This kid was not some grizzled old dude, mired in decades of "class only" nonsense. But already they had internalized that a response to discrimination was more "divisive" than the initial discrimination itself.
This is deeply ingrained, and unity isn't on the backs of those being excluded.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Did Republicans ever once stop and worry about offending or scaring off left-leaning voters? No, they said they want to put us in camps, and then they won the election

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Like? There's no such thing as "good" trans people and "bad" trans people, there's just trans people, and you either support us all, or you don't.
You cannot support and affirm one persons transness and not support another without inherently legitimising some aspect of transphobic rhetoric.

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Careful! A lot of restaurants are putting pancake batter in their pancakes, in order to give them a more pleasing taste and consistency. It's a neat trick, but it means the pancakes aren't gluten-free

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.
