By "MeToo went too far" what they meant was "MeToo got too close".

They're not prepared for the backlash they're going to get.

i’ve read an alternate theory that it’s an evolved aversion to corpses / severely diseased people

(laudatory)

all of the following are true:

-99% open borders is the best immigration policy for the US and the world
-voters will never allow this to happen
-open borders or ICE gestapo is a false dichotomy
-general amnesty is the only possible solution for current illegal immigrants

Trump is controlling EVERYONE with fear. Politicians, foreign nations, universities, industries. "What if he does something to me?"

Well, what if he does?! Is that the worst thing anyone has ever experienced? Time in jail? A court fight? You lose your job? Is that worth your god-given free will

The "Irrefutable Vibe" of race science. There is simply no amount of scholarship or common sense you can use to get people off the position. Examples of Black excellence are "outliers," scientific consensus is "political correctness," and the unshakeable defense always boils down to "but, come on."

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

gotcha, i interpreted it as “this shows that dem leadership is worse (like as individuals)” rather than “this shows that the situation is worse”

why is that worse? in countries where shadow cabinets are common, they do not have this problem thanks to the parliamentary system

i’m gonna block you, but *you* are the troll in this instance, you get that right? *you* started an argument here

you: *baseless slander*
me: i don’t believe that is true
you: yawn look at this tedious replyguy

the actual implication is that there are trans women who do not believe will stancil is transphobic. so you need to cite some evidence so we can decide which group of trans women is actually correct.

yep. all the technical genius in the world can’t save bad ideas from leadership

largely payroll, i imagine. 1B is 5 years salary for 1000 people making 200K.

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

there simply aren’t enough people under trump’s orders to forcibly cancel elections in all 50 states.

I would like to see more candidates look at polling and say "I think I can improve those numbers on that issue and will craft my campaign to do that."

No, polling is important. The mistake many Dem consultants make is to go for the safe path, not the hard work of changing voters' minds. They decided immigration was a MAGA strong point (because Republicans spent decades attacks on it) and didn't try. Dems need to fight on core issues.

the point is that if trump goes “i declare the constitution invalid” his words can simply be disregarded by the rest of us. trump says lots of insane nonsense that we disregard

He failed. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is home. The National Guard deployments were halted. Some institutions bent the knee, many others did not. Courts have forced him to reinstate fired workers. Congress has restored some cut funding. (6/?)

your question is only more interesting for those who would not kill baby hitler.

my answer is “the second he becomes an adult”

Right? "Please don't say abolish ICE it's politically toxic," say the same people who criticized Van Hollen for flying to El Salvador.

Like, don't get me wrong, I'll think about things "as a liberal"

But I try never to let that be a purely social signifier. It means "as someone who believes, axiomatically, that all men are created equal"

the police also use “protecting white women” as a cover to brutalize BIPOC men

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

I mean I’m sorry but yes, we should get the sanctions, we should be the ones who can’t travel or use banks and have to blow to foreign tourists for cash. Even if it doesn’t happen, we should assume that’s what’s in store for us if we don’t extract the country from the grip of these fucking goblins

I am begging you, as an American, to boycott the Olympics, boycott the World Cup and sanction us

In all seriousness: if legacy media outlets like CBS, ABC are as compromised as they are, what is the best way to find credible reporting/news? It feels like the entire ecosystem of broadcast journalism has been compromised.
