(1) Casey Means is a dreadful nominee and should not be confirmed.
(2) I don't have any desire to defend for-profit advertising of any kind.
(3) "Obesity is a national crisis" as a message both relies on and perpetuates bias against fat people.

is everyone ready for the eternal panopticon

Sure. I guess we can all just turn it off. I should look for a different career outside of mental health then.

“Words are just sounds” crowd loves telling people their pain is their fault. Maybe we should unload the gun instead of telling people they’re imagining they’re getting shot.

Can Olympic competitors not celebrate with Nazis on their livestreams, Studio? Can we just hold the adult men responsible for their actions? That’s the middle ground you realize, right? Celebrating with the Nazis on your own livestream. The bar is in the ground.

I can’t believe you would believe this. I see it and I still don’t believe it.

Athletes have a choice. They’re just buddies. You have to deal with the complex emotions and not remove agency from adult men.

wut? You… don’t think the individual team members could say something? Turn their cameras off? Leave the short pedophile protectors presence?

We infantilize adult men now?

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

“A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare…”

The political attacks on healthcare for young trans people has horrific outcomes. Trans youth deserve to thrive.

this is why you should *never* hit someone with an rpg. it’s dangerous, it’s shitty, and it’s wrong

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

He-Man and the Pronouns of the Universe

I like cats!

People absolutely need to stop describing these ICE murders as "fatal shootings". It's not a shooting. Words matter.

It's murder, in plain sight. And filmed at multiple angles.

I find this language really gross. First off, it's weak as hell. But second, if your demand is simply that ICE leaves Minnesota, that's just telling them to go to another state to terrorize people.

These centrist squishes need to push for full abolition of ICE.

Reddit rises up

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns

the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

Aren’t you supposed to be on Twitter? How’d you break containment? You head on back now, ya hear?

You sure are smug as you defecate onto younger generations. Congrats on your internet trophy.

You got that pompous, “I need the last word”, soft boy attitude about you. If you can’t handle being corrected, don’t spread misinformation. You’re the problem.

And if you’re going to block people for correcting your bullshit, soon you’ll be in an echo chamber of 1.

I don’t care about you. I just have free time. You really shouldn’t spread bullshit online though. A real leftist doesn’t divide the movement.

I thought you were sober?

Yes

I sure know a troll when I see one. They tend to live under the bridge they’re selling.

I’m not going to hold your hand. If you feel the need to lie about people on the internet, I’d prefer you find something not self-destructive to occupy your time with. Else, you’re definitely not making an improvement with your time.

But you’re spreading misinformation about the world’s largest leftist streamer - potentially dissuading normies from finding good information by eliciting emotional vitriol toward his platform. Fuck off with the call to camaraderie when you’re the problem.
