this is what coalition building within a democracy looks like. different cohorts of folks make their needs clear.

Centrists were once again humbled in the last election after declining to coalition build with leftists, progressives, organized labor, Muslim Americans, & trans people (among others).

I will not vote for Newsom because he does not believe I deserve human rights.

If it comes down to JD Vance vs Newsom, who are both rabidly transphobic & support ICE, I will vote for a third party candidate.

Luckily Democrats have another 2 years to make sure we select a better, viable candidate!

Every single example these people come up with is quite literally extremely bad for their own argument. Yes, Israel is actually rather segregated, it's segregated on purpose, and yes it's more so segregated than most of its neighbors and even more so than all Western states. Sorry this is true.

What it says is this: segregation as policy is bad.

It says something about Israel that the capital of Lebanon is still more diverse than every single city in Israel after 30 years of sectarian civil war

there's no benefit to going along with trump, he's gonna fuck you over even if you don't, so the rational choice is not to make everyone else hate you then end up with nothing to show for it anyway. c'mon corpos and eu-vassal-states-of-usa. learn that.

I was going to say this needs to be on a poster or a t-shirt, but that commodifies it and cheapens it. I settled on graffiti.

This needs to be a huge graffiti installation.

You don't get to throw trans people on the pyre so you can stay warm and then get mad when we don't want to burn.

The trans community does not exist to die for you. You can fight with us, or you can make a decision to abandon us and fight without us.

Fascism is coming for you even if you throw us under the bus. There's entire poem about this even! And the reality is, you learn solidarity or you die alone.

Professor Jiang was on Breaking Points just 3 days ago pointing at Desalinization plants as the likely next step on the escalation ladder for Iran.

Looks like the US is more than happy to have opened that door themselves...

I genuinely think this might be the least planned military op in history.
