This is a big reason why I won't be voting for Harris either.

The further we go into the 21st century the more convinced I am that our future success as a species has an inverse relationship to the power of men in society.

Where one group is denied rights, all groups' rights are conditional.

YouTube video by NBC News Kamala Harris on whether transgender Americans should have access to gender-affirming care

"Do you believe that transgender Americans should have access to gender affirming care in this country?"

"I believe we should follow the law."

Seven words when one "yes" would suffice.

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

bipartisanship with actual fascists is also not acceptable.

DHS axed its civil rights staff—and opened the door to a major lawsuit The agency is now barely pretending to follow disability law. Its former civil rights head says that makes ICE vulnerable.

A recent Congressional letter accuses DHS of not being compliant with a major civil rights law due to the mistreatment of disabled ICE detainees. As I reported for @motherjones.com, this is worsened by the fact DHS' office for civil rights has TWO EMPLOYEES now.

People get online & see all these folks they silo themselves from expressing themselves in their sight for the first time & say well leftism must have been invented on the internet & exist only on the internet. No it’s real! You’re centuries late to the game & pitifully underexposed & indoctrinated.

"Sitting out is a vote for the GOP."

This shit needs to die in a fire. Check the official ballot totals. NOBODY received credit for the millions of non votes, you dumb fuckers.

Sitting out a vote also could mean neither of you are worth the time.

(I voted for Harris, you fucks, so don't at me)

Politicians used to be the means by which The People exercised their choices regarding changes in Laws and governance

Now they are vehicles for corporations to pilfer America and no blood price is too high a cost for their profits which must be exponential or these rabid Capitalists get existential

free Palestine.

I also still stand with Melissa Barrera.

Nobody is saying the Democrats are exactly the same as Republicans wrt trans rights. What we are saying is their acceptable compromises aren't acceptable to us. I will not share a tent with people who are fine with our segregation and second-class status.

i think about this every day and the more history i learn, the truer it becomes

WE OUT HERE!

Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.

That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

My aunt and uncle went without power for 2.5 months after Maria. My grandfather who lives in San Juan went even longer. The power lines were the most impactful image of many tonight.

What you abide be done to *othered* people/groups by those with power, you enable to be done to everyone.

How did the Holocaust happen?

We like to cordon evil off to make evil the domain of a few demented individuals... who seem quite different from us. But whether it's the transatlantic slave trade or Nazism or genocide... We see again and again that evil... is the product of demented social orders.

Soft launch NOTHING.

Ring has been committed to making mass user driven surveillance palatable since it rolled out those cute ads of people greeting loved ones or returning packages or whatever.

They’ve been affectively priming us to accept surveillance as s fact of life for decades.

it just proves you're a bigot

it is not a funny joke

During the night, Israeli occupation forces abducted several Palestinians during a raid on the town of Beita, south of Nablus.

a photo of my dog, zara. she's really small, black and tan coat, smiling at me while wearing a sweater. which anyone knows is very hard to accomplish because dogs hate human clothes

I should start an account for zara, just post in baby talk all the time, drum up 150k followers by making her look like a moron on the internet. not

Baby Talia lying in a black wrought iron bassinet, on a blue mattress with white stars, covered in a fuzzy white blanket. She is looking away with her eyes half closed, her arms outstretched.

5 month old Talia lying in a wrought iron bassinet, with a blue cushion with white stars. She has dark hair and light skin, wearing a brown fleece sweater and is covered in a white knitted blanket, looking at the camera with big brown eyes. Behind her is her 3 year old sister, Julia, who has her hands on Talia’s head. She is wearing a white fleece sweater with pink hearts. Her dark hair is in pigtails, and she is looking at the camera.

Sama’a taking a selfie in front of a red sheeted wall. She is smiling, wearing a black hijab and a white Mickey Mouse sweatshirt, holding baby Talia in her arm, who is swaddled in a white blanket and wearing a white headband with a bow. At her hip is 3 year old Julia, wearing a green and blue plaid dress with a white collar, smiling with her dark hair pulled up into pigtails.

My daughter Talia was born amidst the bombing and has never known safety.

Today, she shivers in my arms, with a fever and a severe cold. I can’t afford medicine or things to keep her warm.

Your support, or even just sharing this, could help save her life.
