Sure, I am just pointing out the morality of what they are doing isn't magically changed just because there's probably a much better way for the government to go about it.

Like obviously, sexul assault in some ways is worse, but why do we treat other types of abuse hush hush still? If you can't function without abusing at least one of your students everywhere you work, you aren't healthy enough to be working in the first place.

Or abuse people in general, way too many cases of professors or lab directors with npd and bpd using their students as emotional punching bags and it just gets swept under the rug as they go and do the same thing somewhere else.

I don't think it's a great commons by any stretch of the imagination. bsky.app/profile/gell...

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, appears to have deleted his tweet after these Democrats responded

I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite. I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.

SCOOP — Tom Suozzi has a Democratic primary challenger in the NY-3 congressional race.

Danielle Welch (@daniwelch.bsky.social), a public defender, has officially declared her candidacy.

Welch gave me this comment about launching her campaign:

I am sure her quote about how hispanics should work the fields and be slaves since blacks aren't anymore will convince those barely democratic hispanics to jump in line for her after its blasted 24/7 into everyones ears.

She will lose will absolute certainty, IDK why people are seriously acting like it just might work, it will not. It's texas, dems just love to fucking lose tbh.

Got the notification about this but it’s so much better than I could’ve imagined

japanese internment/concentration camp repeat here we come, though possibly worse.

For ICE to build concentration camps quickly, they're leaning on this Dept. of War program WEXMAC TITUS helps contractors bypass the traditionally lengthy government contract bidding process

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.

Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

It's totally different, we aren't like those barbaric muslims, we only do child genital cutting because we think its aesthetic, unlike their barbaric religion! or something. but yeah, same shit

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

This is a beautiful paper, and I have been eagerly waiting for nearly a year to see it come to light — these media embargoes by major scientific journals are frankly quite silly at this point… www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What Is a Democrat For? Today’s Democrats could aspire just to return us to some pre-Trump “normal.” But for millions of Americans, that isn’t nearly good enough. The country needs a Democratic Party that seeks to create a new and far better “normal”—and that’s willing to fight the people standing in the way.

Like even most smart people really struggle to escape this stuff once it's been drilled in good and hard.

and then most people struggle to apply critical thinking skills to anything they were brainwashed uhhh I mean indoctrinated in as kids, including but not limited to, abusive relationship dynamics, religion, extremist political movements, etc.

How do you think I feel knowing religions aren't really fundamentally any saner. George Bush was waiting a zombie to reappear and fix everything. Humanity believes dumb shit and rationality isn't automatic at all, critical thinking has to be learned

If you want to get rid of some incriminating documents you don't want anyone to see, the best course of action is to hide them on the top floors of the most famous twin towers in the world and hit them with two hijacked passenger planes.

Since I started doing this series back in November, Russian small drone attacks have been responsible for over 1000 civilian and non-combatant casualties. 169 people have been killed and 833 have been wounded — roughly 1/3rd of all victims are from Kherson Oblast.

idk man, I think murder and rape is bad, and don't want to be responsible for that, so I don't use coke, it's so fucking weird how normalized this is, it's disgusting and cringe.

Even worse unlike people on fent or something, most of this use is purely recreational and only a some of it's genuine addiction. People are genuinely murdering people to get some kicks.

I mean, evidently this is all over the place, which always surprises me a little, because I for one don't associate with murderers and rapists and that's what a cocaine user, physically, is respnsible for. It's cringe as fuck to use it.

I think most cocaine users know this though deep down and just think their fun is worth a few rapes or murders or whatever, it's not like they'll have to know who in particular died because of them, anyway, and it's easy enough to not think about this too hard.

The gov't might be responsible, but so are you, and that doesn't magically change because of the govt's decisions.

You don't get to be like 'well you see, it's the gov'ts fault its illegal, so even though I am knowingly killing people by using this right now while it's illegal, it's magically not my responsibility to not use it' Two things can be true at the same time lol.

This is the kind of rationalization people use who reaaaally want to use coke but also want to pretend they aren't actively making the world a considerably worse place by doing so.
Sure, if it were legal perhaps this wouldn't be the case, that's also irrelevant to what is currently happening.
