every day i wake up and i swear vengeance against the scourge of learned helplessness that plagues trans people. may one day we be fully cleansed of this disease, but that day will not arise until we the afflicted choose to eradicate it by firmly taking hold of the scouring flame into our own hands.

Let's be clear: the US govt *does not* care about the people of Venezuela. It cares about US hegemony and the interests of the US capitalist class. That is what this is about.

I don't know how to do it but we have to teach liberals that current bad things are not random quantum events, but the culmination of systems and policies put in place to create them. Trump and the SCOTUS are the system working as intended: protecting and empowering capitalist swine at all costs.
As others have pointed out, the founders never foresaw a corrupt president (which we have) abusing the pardon power to absolve all criminals and miscreants for any reason, nor did our Daffy Duck Supreme Court ever think it might not be a good idea to put said president above the law.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

Fuck your "free speech." It doesn't protect you from bad grades. Honestly, starting to really feel justified in saying that speech of a hateful nature should be just outright banned.

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

A really important thing to learn about fascism imo is that one of its most appealing traits to followers is giving a “place” to the talentless and mediocre so long as they tow the line enthusiastically and assert their superiority to the designated Other.

Socialism will eventually win (as long as human beings survive) because people in a classed society will always end up wanting a classless society. You will never be able to kill that drive.
