Idk what to do about the fact that mostly only shitty people want to run for office. not asking for perfection, but pro-genocide candidates, candidates with nazi tattoos.. these seem like reasonable red lines!

The things you overlook during the campaign will be the things that hit you over the head when they're in office, just like Fetterman now being the most pro-genocide zionist. Platner is clearly going to vote in favor of the military industristrial complex every time.

if anything this likely just makes him pro-veteran, and while I'm not against our country taking care of veterans along with everyone else, I don't support giving them special support that will further incentive people to join the genocidal US military

also where is anyone getting the idea that he'd be anti-war just bc he personally got ptsd from the FOUR TOURS he chose to do in the middle east and then IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN choosing to become a Blackwater mercenary???

trying not to let this Grant Platner shit blackpill me bc wtf good is an anti-Israel "progressive" who has a nazi tattoo on their chest??

ppl asking a lot of questions already answered by my "unstable but likes to participate" shirt

dudes think LOTR is peak diversity bc it features nine white men of varying heights and beard lengths

Is it petty that I sometimes revoke my like when I realize a cat is purebred

tbh I like both the Charli and Taylor songs and think a mashup would bang

pleasantly surprised that Lorde blocked her music from streaming in Israel bc prior to this she struck me as spiritually Israeli

Jesus this is disingenuous. God forbid someone demand countermessaging from their political representatives rather than just begrudgingly accepting trans people's existence until it's time to throw them under the bus. The way to win is to stand for something, preferably what's right.

I'm usually a good speller but I cannot for the life of me get the R's right in harassment and embarrassment

have liberals forgiven Chappell Roan, or is she still Chapo Roan to them?

It's so weirdly literary that this fascist force is named Trump

There's this small streamer I like except for the first two hours of every stream she talks about fruit and then says "I don't understand how Hasan covers so much more news than me" and it's like babe maybe cut the literal 2hr per stream fruit talk😭

what lasting friendships look like as chronically tired adhd anxious girlies

Their babies starved to death in their arms while monsters destroy aid mere miles away. Hungry. Thirsty. In pain. In pieces.

Nothing makes sense while this haunting, senseless cruelty is inflicted on the people of Palestine.

for there to be no clean cremation or burial options or comfort or little wooden urns. And it's their cats and it's their parents and siblings and friends and their children.

But the people and animals of Palestine go in pain, without shelter, hungry and thirsty, afraid, perhaps in grief of those who have gone before them. And to not even be able to give their loved ones dignity in death -

For something I was so afraid of and grief-stricken by, at the front of my mind through every step of her passing and after, I thought of the people and pets of Palestine. How losing someone precious to you is already so painful.

When she was gone, I was able to take her body for cremation and she was treated with dignity and respect in life and death and now she is with me forever in a sweet wooden cat art piece until we're together again one day.

I miss Sonya all the time. But when I lost her, I was able to keep her comfortable. She had the luxuries of A/C and cold milk and medicine and warm light and a soft bed with no worries, being pet and talked to by someone who loved her and was taking care of her.

why is watching shark attack vids giving me fomo

Ophie I super love you as a feminist addendum to my leftism that is otherwise severely lacking, and want to maybe eventually expand on my thoughts about this thread further, but to start, I'm a bit confused by this bit - what is theater kids a dogwhistle for?

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

I can no longer remain silent, Israel is committing a genocide and it’s the online lefts fault.

BREAKING: Israeli Settlers Kill American Citizen in Occupied West Bank, Family Says Sayfollah Musallet was visiting his family in the village of Al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya when settlers allegedly beat him unconscious and blocked an ambulance from reaching him for hours.

“Israeli Settlers Kill American Citizen in Occupied West Bank, Family Says”

Israelis continues to kill US citizens with impunity. Whatever happened to ‘America First’ (Trump) or ‘If you harm an American we will respond (Biden)?

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

confused about where contrapoints assigns agency, in her post. democrats supported a genocide - but it is the left's opposition to that genocide that helped reelect trump? the left distributing pictures and videos of atrocities in gaza has people in a rage - but what about the atrocities themselves?

YouTube video by elliot sang again BreadTube is over

If you weren't profoundly disappointed by Contrapoints' statement on the Palestinian genocide, there just might be a fundamental difference in how we see the issue, but if you remain open to understanding, I think Elliot does a really thoughtful and compassionate analysis
