Daniel, you say you’ve been organizing in the streets.

Real organizers don’t stand around with their hands in their pockets while others do the work.

Let’s stop pretending.

This is reductive and consciously ignores very achievable demands of sitting Democrats, such as not capitulating to every single Republican demand of them just cuz. It's not about "perfect" it's about trying at all.

if taking hormones goes against god then it means god wanted me dead at 15 when my body stopped making insulin. don't pull that "god made you perfect the way you are naturally" crap if you cant explain why i need insulin shots to live

please be there for all of the people we've lost.

For 35 years the Democratic Party has been run by people who use politics to line their pockets while their only campaign promise is to be more polite Republicans

It’s important to remember that there are so many more people culpable for this administration’s atrocities that go beyond simply those in front of a camera.

Talking about nuance while also using a reductive phrase like "moral purity test" is certainly an effective way to destroy your own point lmao

“Hey you guys didn’t vote for a genocider so actually the fascism happening now and our institutions inability to protect from it are actually your fault”

Do you hear yourselves

Ah, so when pressed about a very real upcoming application of your perspective you immediately capitulate lmao.

we have a fascist party and we have a party of fascist enablers

Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof X.com I'm struck by the contrast between the passion for democracy shown by Iranians willing to die for it and the complacency with which many Americans have accepted an authoritarian slide. Americans should cheer for Iran's democrats--and also learn from their determination.

I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.

The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

When I was protesting Milo Yiannopoulos, some of his supporters came up to me and tried to hug me or shake my hand. It’s a ploy. They want to use you to show people that their side is gentle and forgiving. Two equal sides, just a normal disagreement.

yes, unfortunately

This is like having a dog trained to bite being put in a situation where they're not supposed to bite and then ultimately bites somebody is just unfortunate. Sure, but that dog should never have been there at all and now somebody is dead because all enforcement can get are dogs that bite.

Are you saying that those that can organize in a way that allows them to practice the values they support shouldn't, simply because it makes those that can't look bad? Or do you just not understand how organizing mutual aid works in low funding areas?

Tbh your argument reads as whiny and unserious.

All of my hotbars are in use and I use the cross hotbar to hold all my macros and stuff so this is so wildly appreciated 😭

That's an insane projection lmao.

You seem weirdly bothered by this in a way that says you have issues with the story you're not addressing out loud. Straight up just making up problems. Also deflecting by saying there's other stuff to be upset about like people can't juggle focus is weird.

also, the people who would supposedly push for equal rights are also actively encouraging not one but multiple genocides (which includes and targets the very communities you claim to be a part of)

who are you to put yourself on a pedestal? it's a VERY weird double standard you defend.

I can't for the life of me imagine looking at the past decade of politicians and being like "yup these folks definitely want what's best for me as a non-cishet non-neurotypical person", like that's so out of touch with the reality that you've been witness to in even just the last 2-3 years.

Violent delights

Not just this, but the most affluent red counties are tourist counties. Maricopa (for example) gets a huge injection to their economy during the winter months from snowbirds who come from (you guessed it) predominantly blue states

unpopular opinion but brennan is really not it for me when it comes to DMing and after just 4 episodes I can tell there's nothing for me as a viewer with this campaign.

An unfortunately effective ragebait it seems

The "perhaps imagining how it looked" is very operative in the reply. Nobody originally brought up ideation yet somehow that's the topic of conversation lol.

The point was that lots of objectively evil people die and it's not weird to appreciate that fact. Assuming more is happening is maladjusted.

Idk if they were first but it was reported by Reuters and disseminated to other networks from there so the reported bits from them would have already been verified.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Has anyone else read Kamala's book? It's very weird, like weird in the way that I thought Elon Musk was weird back in 2012.
