Jesus H. Christ. I wish I could personally Underground Railroad them out of there but I live in Alabama, which is not even en route to anywhere much more desirable than Kansas.

My assumption is that they simply saw a traditionally female sounding name with an M marker and said, β€œaha, clearly transgender! I am very smart.” even though that doesn’t even make sense if you actually think about it first half a second.

But still, openly pre-genocidal behavior.

JFC. Openly pre-genocidal behavior here.

With no context, how are you starting the week?

Meta at work, but half those accounts might be fake (also meta at work, hard at work on dead internet theory)

This. The New York Times has been a fascist rag for a while now. The best course of action is to boycott, shun, ostracize and make them pariahs.

The Boy Scouts was a Mormon organisation??
I thought it was a Christian organisation.

I thought people were just using that because of the character limit. Like, because it is three whole character shorter. Are you saying people are actually using it for some sort of intentional purpose? If so… ick.

Two small pieces of wood have been cut into roughly the shape of the state of Alabama, then painted with a diagonal rainbow (the gay pride flag) plus brown, black, light blue, white and light pink (for people of color and transgender folks).  I have then painted the words β€œY’all Means ALL,” and, β€œNo Fascist USA” in white, which I will then outline with a darker color. Next, I glue a small magnet to the back of each one and paint my signature on the back.  Then they’re varnished, dried, and ready to go!

Working on a new set of these again, because every time I paint more, people come in and buy them! πŸ˜…

Yes, even here in Alabama!

That’s true too. But I do believe they really REALLY want us all to shut up about Epstein and how they’re all kidfuckers. We’re not gonna, though.

Still, saying the regime is throwing more shit at us hoping we can’t focus on any one thing doesn’t inherently deny the horror & evil of each thing.

Dude… that’s just how evil these people are. They’re willing to bomb children to try to distract from the fact that they rape children.

(β€œTry” being the operative word. It’s not gonna work.)

No. You’re NOT making sure that no corrupt candidates get elected. Fucking look dude, they’re getting elected most of the time. Clearly what you’re doing isn’t working. Unless that’s literally what you’re trying to do, which is what I’m starting to suspect. Just calling you Sergei from here on out.

I have read this seven times and I simply cannot figure out what it means, so I apologize but, is this one of those shit-posts the kids like to do? Or is it referring to real things in a language I simply cannot comprehend? Can anyone Explain Like I’m An Old Woman Living In A Hut In The Woods?

I’m sure a lot of Democrats condone it. Just as I’m sure, as I said, that most Republicans are actively trying to perpetrate it.

YEP. Blue no matter who is necessary right now because the literal, actual only option is MAGA. If they’re still calling themselves Republican then they’re supporting it tacitly or enthusiastically!! democrats aren’t doing anywhere near enough to stop genocide. Republicans WANT TO DO GENOCIDE.

Condone? Heck, most of the people who voted this fascist piece of crap into office are trying to do another one right here!

I know that at least for me, personally, I do tend to lose a lot of sympathy for anyone who does a genocide. Good god I wish that was true for everyone.
