"Vote Blue No Matter Who" somehow magically only ever seems to apply to "centrists" with fascist leanings. The right of myself, my family, my neighbors to exist and access life-saving healthcare is pretty fucking kitchen-table for me, and I'm not interested in budging on that.

Okay, but it would be *genuinely* hilarious if the US government were to nationalize SpaceX.

Can you imagine? A government-run, well-funded space program of some sort?

Every year my school's GSA participates in GLSEN's day of silence (though sometimes the date is different due to spring break). I participate as well, running my class without speaking out loud for the day. Usually, I feel like I'm facilitating a my-first-protest experience. This year has hit harder

Nothing has solidified the moral bankrupcy of ChatGPT to me like watching people in positions of absurd political power use it to allow them to be heartlessly incompetent at never before seen scales.

Terrible news, one of my 7th graders just explained the Monty Hall problem to me in a way that I not only understood but actually believed.

Have you ever met an outdoor cat?

YOU KNOW THE RULE

Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, New Research Shows An IOC-funded study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine earlier this month suggests transgender athletes could be at a physical disadvantage.

Pharaoh's repeatedly hardened heart and his commitment to enslaving these people despite the immense cost to host kingdom & his subjects — it's just utterly incomprehensible and unrealistic. Until you look at Netanyahu.

1/SOME CONTEXT to the YouGov poll: Most people don’t know a trans person. We are banned from mainstream media, zero public representation, zero voice. Talked and written about by others - but snuffed out. Over the last six years, the UK public has been BLITZED by a daily negative media campaign,…

Has anyone tried telling suggesting to Trump that he make the District of Columbia a state on the offchance that he thinks he's annexing Columbia when he declares it a state?

We don't have public debates about the appropriate treatment for diabetes, because THE PUBLIC DOESN'T FUCKING KNOW SHIT about appropriate treatment!

Almost every single medical procedure is only experienced by a minority of people. Don't ever think the leopards won't eat your face too.

It's infuriating; bodily autonomy and keeping the government from interfering with people's medical care are both incredibly popular positions within the democratic base. It would be the easiest thing in the world to connect anti-trans EOs with abortion and turn it into a *winning issue*

This is what a 10 cent ramen pack with a multivitamin dropped in the broth is for.

WHAT is UP guys, Gregor here, welcome back to the channel: HUGE vlog today about how I woke from troubled dreams, and found myself transformed in my bed into a horrible vermin, but first let me tell you about today’s sponsor, NordVPN,

This was one of my student’s favorite social media posts of the week 🧪🌎🦑

I have never met a single American who wasn't being actively bribed by a health insurance company who engaged in anything even remotely similar to bootlicking behavior with regards to any health insurance company.

Palestinian people, when you posted an enormous massive heartless gif to a post about their suffering.

1) strong agree!

2) It's not hindsight, a whole bunch of us were having these same arguments before the election too.

3) Ultimately, it is a politician's job to earn our vote. Dems can't rely on 'the other guy is worse' indefinitely, *even if that is objectively true!*

Well, YOU did that precisely 47 minutes ago.

The moral choice in the last election could not have been clearer, and Kamala should have put earning votes above her reluctance to break from Biden's deeply unpopular foreign policy. She lost against the most unpopular candidate in history!

To be clear: I voted. But I felt sick to my stomach about it. We lost the moment we took a coalition based on mutual care and tried to convince them that certain sets of people were unworthy of care.

Of course the coalition fractured. It was an insanely stupid strategy.

And if you're trying to build a coalition based around the idea that its your moral duty to care about people and take actions to protect them while simultaneously posting massive "blahblahblah" gifs in response to human suffering, people will start to think that maybe you're not actually anti-harm.

And THAT, right there, is how we lost the election.

Republicans can act devoid of empathy because their coalition is based around stuff like advantageous tax laws and in-group signifiers. But if you built your coalition on caring about people, and then act like YOU just did? That's how we lose.

We have zero evidence that being anti-genocide is a losing issue because literally no one has tried it yet.

You say this as if it was a gotcha, but her name was Representative Ruwa Romman, she's a Ga state rep, and you can go read her speech.

See, the thing about that claim is that it objectively *wasn't* smart. Harris swinging to the right on genocide and trans rights objectively failed to win voters.

Have you considered how fucking petulent it was to refuse to even allow a Palestinian woman to endorse Kamala Harris at the DNC?
