This is objectively funny, but the best part is definitely the jizz emoji at the beginning.

Thank you all for your comments. πŸ’¦

This is the same dude who says sex is a strict binary and he was pushed out of academia for not being woke. Now it's the same grift with race.

Literally his entire career is telling people he's a PhD, so he's right, but the system that gave him that title is corrupt and untrustworthy. It's so dumb.

As scholars of genocide, we demand an end to Israel’s atrocities | Open letter Within weeks, 400 colleagues joined our organization. We say: it is not too late to save lives. End the genocide now

β€œYad Vashem and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum adhere to a β€œPalestine exception” when opposing genocide... organizations such as the ADL, use spurious accusations of antisemitism to silence or discredit those who dare to speak out.”

My favorite is when I present someone with a slew of exceptions for every rule they try to establish and they eventually fall back on your body being "structured around" or "leaning toward" such and such gamete/pregnancy/etc.

My brother in Darwin, that is no longer biology, that's fortune telling.

Israel's leader claims no one in Gaza is starving. Data and witnesses disagree Here’s what we know as the World Health Organization says 63 of the 74 malnutrition-related deaths in Gaza this year have occurred this month. Those included 24 children under the age of 5.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving: β€œThere is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza. We enable humanitarian aid throughout the duration of the war to enter Gaza – otherwise, there would be no Gazans."

I can't wait for the next bullshit excuse as to why it's okay to starve millions of people.

Seriously, if you haven't spoken up yet, I'm begging you to grow a brain, a heart, and a spine. "Genocide is wrong" shouldn't be a controversial stance.

5 things to know about Gaza's worsening food crisis Malnutrition has reached alarming levels in Gaza, aid officials say, with hunger now reportedly affecting civilians as well as journalists, doctors, and other personnel on the ground.

Hunger is reportedly surging in Gaza as the enclave of nearly two million people remains cut off from aid. U.N. and local health officials attribute hundreds of deaths in recent weeks to malnutrition or people dying while trying to get food from aid distribution points. (via @cfr.org)

They're undeniable proof of systemic evil which Democrats are desperately trying to hide...
Then they don't exist...
And now, a week later, it was actually the Democrats that made them up in the first place.

Seriously, how in the actual fuck does anyone still believe a word this creep says?

Measles cases are currently higher than they've been in 33 years.

Can't wait for the antivaxxers to deny, justify, ignore, or deflect from this, all while spouting off statistics they half-read on the toilet.

The most violent thing that happened was when a person offered me ear plugs because it was getting loud. They had a whole tub full for everyone.

The chaos.

While President Trump spends millions of taxpayer dollars to throw himself a birthday party, we’re taking to the streets.

Fight the administration’s abuses of power with us on June 14. Find a rally near you.
