I try to treat boycotts as leaderless. Boycott Target until they fix their shit? I will freely associate with that boycott until Target has fixed their shit to my satisfaction (they have not)
"I'm so fucked up."
Right on the money
Maybe it's a mix of political affiliation, regional culture, and whiteness. Which kinda describes a lot of things, lmao
Growing up in the southeast U.S. durings the late 90s and 00s, it depended on the situation. My conservative white family and every other white family I knew had strict rules on the "politeness" of talking politics that I dont see as much of today
I need to learn slight-of-hand magic, just so I can be an absolute menace as a senile old woman
Cannot emphasise enough how many senior health officials are outright terrified at the prospect of patients having some sort of ability to speak back as equals, and how much that fear is due to an overlong emphasis on the need to mitigate rather than support patients.
Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
That eliminates pretty much everyone currently in government but opens the door to a ton of great folks I would love to vote for. Granted, if they don't take steps to dismantle state violence, I wouldn't vote to re-elect them. Which, I think, is the point.
Honestly, if you want my vote to represent me or to lead any of the layers of government I live under, you need to have educated yourself on anti-fascism and be able to competently discuss it on the campaign trail. And you need to have no history of supporting state violence
We don't need to 100% agree on things to work together towards the same goal.
That being said, I do require my potential representatives in the halls of state power to have enough of an understanding of the history of fascism to at least avoid getting a large Nazi tattoo.
remember that time Howard Dean made a weird noise and it ended his political career
can we get that but for nazi tattoos and transphobia
Me canvassing for @trans.bsky.social 2028: Of course they're the frontrunner! Have you even seen their memes?
An art piece of two hands that are holding up their middle finger. There is one hand that is peach colored and one hand that is a light blue/lavender and the backs of the hands say “sex work is real work” and the hands are surrounded by red hearts and are over a dark background. Art piece by Gawki

Outting abusers and their defenders is a public service, and I, for one, thank you for your service 😆
I just dreamed that I was in The Traitors, except there were no games, and we had to survive being actually hunted by players with knives. So, more like Murder on Gmod, but with imaginary minor celebrities
every last one of these people need to be tried and jailed as the goons and criminals they are. No exceptions.

There's this quote from the book One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, this makes me think of: "How empty does your message have to be for a deranged right wing to even have a chance of winning?"

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
Is that why Teslas look like beetles? History has got to quit rhyming
Right!? It feels so comforting
I recognize I am an extremely rare holdout in that I have been so hardline anti-AI that I have still yet to use a chatbot willingly, but uh, I feel like every other story I read is about how all the consumer-facing stuff is a mental illness particle accelerator www.theguardian.com/technology/n...

Screenshot of an NPR article quoting Marco Rubio saying they knew Israel was preparing to attack Iran and decided to join in.
But if you knew an attack on Iran was imminent, wouldn't stopping that attack provide you with more moral and diplomatic leverage than joining in on it?
Oh right, these are fascists. Violence is always their answer.
The entirety of liberal argumentation about media is "I'm a liberal and I like it, so it can't be right wing media, because that would mean I like right wing media, which is impossible, I'm a liberal"
