I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

your movement has to be like 8 levels removed from reality to think that some of the starving kids in gaza also having serious medical conditions makes Israel look better. it's completely insane. they just think because it's an additional fact it's somehow exonerating.

Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.
We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

the cosmic joke of my life is how I perhaps over-learned the lessons of responsibility, industriousness, delaying gratification, etc. in preparation for adulthood—only to witness the adults in charge of the world collectively revert to acting like 12-year-olds the *second* I became an adult. Oh well
