what's wild about the waffles thing is they're pretending people are mad about them "wanting to make social media a nicer place" while what we're actually upset about the way they protect people and organizations who are hostile toward and dangerous to trans people by ignoring their TOS violations

How are they allowed to round up everyone without cause? Where are the lawsuits over violations of their rights?

There were millions of adults on US streets in '03 protesting the invasion plans. Largest protests in *world history*.
Politicians on both sides voted to invade anyway & the movement had no plan to escalate until demands were met.
Dems turned the movement into a PAC and Bush got re-elected. 🤷🏻♂️

kids in my suburban Texas Middle School were worried Osama was going to strike us during lunch or whatever, so of course we had to invade Iraq
remarkably few adults pushed back on this

This is wild because Randi doesn’t generally side with those demanding DNC reform.
“Martin had recently removed her from the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws committee, where she served since 2009. Weingarten was also vocally supportive of David Hogg, the Gen Z activist who departed his role as DNC vice chair last week after a messy dispute with Martin and other party officials.”
Randi Weingarten leaves DNC, citing conflict with chair Ken Martin
The teachers union leader’s exit is the latest sign of internal discord at the Democratic National Committee.

Dear Liberals,
I want you to understand something so I'm going to make it perfectly clear.
You can oppose Trump but you have to understand that he is a symptom of a system that oppresses the lower classes to enrich the wealthy. Until you recognize that system MUST change, nothing changes. /1
