Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

I can’t believe I have to say this: But white people can be anti-Black even if they have the right politics or a marginalized identity, and no amount of either makes racism ok. I am not going to waver on that. Maybe ask why anyone would want me to.

Protip: for any cis people who don’t already know, the phrase “this person” is an extremely obvious way transhobes often degender and/or misgender trans people. you should generally not use that phrasing. especially if you are criticizing someone who happens to be trans.

A very Trumpian comment.

“President Joe Biden, who has pledged support for Israel amid the country’s ongoing war with Hamas that has left more than 37,000 Palestinians dead, claimed in a recent interview that he’s “the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody.””

Elite athletes are considered valuable. Disabled/chronically ill ppl are not. Same old, same old.

It's damning of the state of healthcare that they are reinstating mask mandates at cycle races before they reinstate them in hospitals.

Katy Perry's latest collab with Dr. Luke is the biggest flop of her career while Kesha is off on her own, seemingly having a lot of fun, dropping a song anchored by a cunty polka accordion and I think that's a just resolution for both of them

Watching Big Charity, a documentary about the unnecessary closing of Charity Hospital in New Orleans after Katrina to bilk FEMA into building a new hospital. They had this graphic: 9 out of 10 public hospitals closed or privatized since Katrina.

This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.

*sigh* Time to find a new sticker manufacturer.

If I say “anti-Blackness” and your response is “but I’m [marginalized]” you are part of the goddamn problem because I didn’t say shit about your marginalization, I was talking about anti-Blackness!

TIL that the British Airways international customer service number that flyers *must* call in emergencies if you're not in the UK is not free and I just spent $135 dollars to be on hold 30 minutes then spend 14 minutes not having my problem solved

Nothing to see here. No problem at all. I guess you could crawl along a roof with an AR-15 and be totally legal. “Individuals in Pennsylvania are permitted to open carry firearms without a permit as long as the firearm is in plain view.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law...

I think it's terrible how the people driving around with "liberal hunting license" bumper stickers were made to fear for their lives due to political violence

JD Vance is particularly odious to me because we’re roughly the same age and from the same part of Ohio and I grew up with a hundred pasty, squishy faced white dudes like him & they’re all convinced they’re marginalized because you can’t smoke at Waffle House or say the n-word anymore

The anti-Blackness on this site is omnipresent and uncontrolled, and it keeps getting worse. And every time it gets pointed out, white people keep deflecting to another marginalization they experience. But Black people still aren’t safe just being Black here. That’s that on that.

In all seriousness: the very idea that someone can take highly classified documents, store them in a public place, defy any number of requests, subpoenas, etc., and then face NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL is genuinely shocking, and should terrify anyone who cares about national security.

Lost in the ongoing Trumpapalooza is the excellent news that a malaria vaccination developed at Oxford Univ. over the last 30 years and costing only £3 per shot is being unrolled in malaria-prone countries. If it fulfills its promise, this will make an enormous difference to so many lives.
