Every time I read something like this I think about the short-sighted selfish fucks that “just couldn’t vote for” the only person that could have kept this from happening.
EMS called to ICE facility bc protestor has broken collar bone (!). ICE agents then refuse to let EMS ambulance leave. EMS driver puts ambulance in park, which makes the vehicle lurch slightly. ICE agent then get up into the cab threatening to shoot driver in the head

This gets to the heart of the matter. Because when you strip them of everything else, that’s all they have left.
They think we’re on the same side, but at the same time are eternally grateful not to be Black.
And will flaunt it if given the opportunity.

“Why can’t we all just get along, black, white or purple?”
Because unity is based on trust.
When white liberals & leftists are met with the slightest accountability, the anti-Blackness jumps right out.
How do you unify with people whose fight or flight response is becoming MAGA?
Decolonize now.

We're further away from a Medicare For All program than ever, thanks to populist tantrums in 2010, 2016 and 2024.

In my decades of activism, the most unreliable people were the anarchists. Their cosplay politics meant if anything wasn't to their exact specification, the answer was to burn it all down and start over. They only helped the right wing in the end.
Yes. They were the white suburban kids. Every time.

Really drives home what "anti-genocide" people actually care about that they're protesting a book signing instead of the guy who is actively working to ethnically cleanse of Gaza. (Hint: it's keeping the guy who's doing that in office)

A lot of folks view their vote as a little gift they give to a politician who catches their fancy, rather than an act of collective action on behalf of the less fortunate. You are not giving out a rose on The Bachelor, you're acting in solidarity with millions of other people.
"we don't owe anybody our vote"
you don't owe *politicians* your support, but you have moral obligations to other people that entail trying to avoid their death or oppression

This list alone is enough to confirm to me that everyone who claims #Harris would have been the same as #Trump, especially with regards to #Trans people, is exclusively acting in bad faith at best and are almost certainly Trump supporters.
