on the one hand we should want people to change their mind so we can stop what's happening now. On the other hand there need to be costs for the ghoulish behavior that got us here, as these people absolutely will do this again given half a chance

Yes my mental health is currently in the pits and I might be projecting here but I’m fairly sure all my problems are because I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF BEING FORCED TO LISTEN TO YOUR MIND NUMBING DUMBASS TIKTOK FEEDS IN PUBLIC PLACES. YOUR NOISE IS AN ARROGANT AND SELFISH VIOLENCE TO THE SOUL. END IT

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

I am a real human person who loves and uses em dashes in my writing and sometimes my every day life. I might be an insufferable prick but I promise I am not being held hostage by an AI overlord

‘Criminality’ is infinitely malleable to do oppressive things, but not liberatory things.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Even if Zohran doesn’t beat Cuomo today I haven’t seen energy or numbers like his on to any leftist politician in my decade+ as a New Yorker. These motherfuckers *should* be scared, we don’t want what they want for us and everybody knows it!!!

It is a genuinely nice thing to see your friends become dads. Thank you for your therapy my young fathers. Thank you for your kindness and readiness to daddy

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Love to spend another gorgeous day in wildlife rehab pulling a mockingbird off lantern fly tape because humans are stupid and lazy and don’t think beyond the next six seconds

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.
Netanyahu says Israel won’t stop the war until Trump’s plan to remove all Palestinians from Gaza has been implemented, calling the idea ”so correct and so revolutionary.” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

When even the NYT reports on Gaza like this, and the genocide continues anyway, and the only ally not listed here is the only one that matters and that ally is literally locking people up for daring to speak publicly about it, that’s how you know you live in a healthy functioning society 👍
