Wanted to let you know that your posts are a large part of the reason I’m excited to be moving to a more bike-friendly city. Probably wouldn’t have looked into it before following you, but now I’m planning out my bicycle commute and a mostly car-free lifestyle. So thanks for spreading awareness!

Right? Like, there’s unconscious bias racism and pro-slavery racism.The “both sides are bad” and “not all Republicans” is melting my brain right now. That anyone even semi decent would still call themselves Republican and be associated in any way shape or form with this trash confounds me.

So long as they recognize my right to call them vile pieces of shit. I’d prefer it if these smarmy cowards had the guts to openly be their racist sexist fuckwit selves. But they don’t just want the right to be gross, they want to never face criticism for it too. Poor sad angry fragile adult babies.

That so many are willing to expand their definition of “human” to algorithms and argue for its rights before defending actual human minorities is… yeah, pull me out of the social media oven. I’m done for the day.

Did they ever figure out who shot up the power station to stop the drag show, cutting power to the whole area, a while back? Or did that news story remain weirdly quiet?

Fayettnam?

It is so very shameful. At the same time I get it. The middle class has barely been hanging on for years. Self-preservation is practical. Not brave, but viewed as necessary. I don’t know how to expand their definition of self-preservation. I fear you are right. They won’t act until it’s “personal.”

It’s hard to put a finger on what’s wrong with that, individually. Taking care of your own isn’t inherently bad. But I wish people’s innate definition of “their own” was much more broad than it seems to be. Recognizing common humanity while celebrating differences. Like I learned on Sesame Street.

I’d argue the only relevant difference between them and us is nothing. The possibility that someday they’ll come for other people shouldn’t matter. Not saying you feel this way. Just sad that as a society fear-based self-preservation seems to be our largest motivator.

Failed to comply…
Shorthand for “they are brown and we don’t view them as equally human.”
Too many people are letting this go. Staying “safe” with heads in the sand.
Letting others be sacrificed that they might be spared.
Self preservation is a strong instinct, easily turned evil.

Someone needs to design home and kitchen systems for ADHD people that are completely open and contents visible, but still look tidy. Maybe open most of the time with roller doors that can hide the clutter when company is coming? Cause same.

Too fucking right.

I agree with MG (Retired) Paul Eaton. Thank you for your leadership.

Not someone with whom I always agree, but this. It seems like there's nonstop aggressive attempts to pull most of the country into an "US VERSUS THEM" psychodrama. I'm so proud of how many people are like "Nope. I know who I am and what I want this country to be. Stuff your hate and get over it."

As much as my confirmation bias wants to believe this... can't in good conscience trust random posts. Even if they did go to school with him, people lie or don't know the truth themselves all the time. Hoping we'll have something confirmed by a trustworthy source, but what even is that anymore?

This is fucking terrifying. Major right wing figures talking like this after one death? Really? While the left has called for peace and rule of law after this and every horrific act perpetrated against the common good this year? I hope there’s voices on the far right pointing out that’s ridiculous.

Yep. I am implying that I don’t agree with your choice in this case, since Palestine was on both trolley lines. And you chose to not pull the lever and you let USAID, NHS, CDC, and immigrants get run over too. Sorry that wasn’t clear.

The eviler evil was also genocide, but with zero brakes and not just Palestine suffering… but cool, way to not redirect the trolley.

I’d think what you’d want during a highly volatile, politically polarized time marked by violence is a president who can appeal to our common values and humanity and inspire calm and unity, rather than promising revenge.

If you cared about the collective well-being of the country, that is

Not sure I’m hoping for a bunch of scared gun owners with the military, fbi, and ice leadership on their side who hate and blame the left/minorities for everything wrong.
