"If you vote based on your principles, you're a bad person." -Democrats

Really tired of liberals telling me Zionism is only a racist ideology when Netanyahu does it, but then they also think US imperialism is only wrong when Trump does it, so I guess it makes sense. Land back.

Oh good, just in time for Saturday's superspreader protests. www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/new...

So does No Kings have actual demands yet? At they still working side by side with cops and run by Zionists?

I just watched the trailer...wtf is this? I think part of the reason the cast is weird is that the people on the bottom row are voicing sheep. What an absolute waste of Rhys Darby and Brett Goldstein.

Chris Fleming has got to be the most floppingest stand-up of all time.

I feel a little bad railing against one of the UK's few women creating television, but what is the actual point of making sure women are in the writer's room if they're actively perpetuating rape culture and making excuses for shitty men? I don't stand by women like Debbie Horsfield who are traitors

Me: "I wish The Good Place critiqued society more." You know what, that's my bad for not remembering that's where season 3 goes. And there's definitely critique sprinkled throughout, but the way Chidi is presented was getting under my skin. Not that I take everything personally. (I do.)

Watched the new doc on The Twelve Tribes and am reading how they describe themselves on the Yellow Deli site. This is the part that's really making my ears ring because they do not let children grow up and decide for themselves.

I'm not sure I've ever seen PBS push anything the way they are pushing The Forsytes. Didn't go over that well with the British audience, and it's brought to you by the rape apologists who brought you Poldark. Why are they doing this to me

I will never stop thinking Mike White is a coward for not making White Lotus a critique on how tourism is ruining Hawaii. He vaguely touched on it, then ran away. Meanwhile, everyone acts like I'm a dummy for not getting that White Lotus is like super deep.

A new study finds that US COVID deaths were undercounted by nearly 20%. While COVID revisionists and antivaxxers are trying to con people into thinking governments did too much, the data says the opposite: Governments didn’t implement public health measures effectively enough to save more lives.

Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon. Civilians can’t flee. Ambulances can’t reach the wounded. Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies. This is intentional. This is a crime against humanity.

What do you mean mosquito eaters do not eat mosquitoes??? Apparently, most have such short lives that they don't eat at all.

Today YouGov is asking if I want the US to succeed in ground invasions in Iran, Cuba, Canada, and Greenland.

As if Swalwell's racism wasn't disqualifying enough, Lockheed Martin is one of his donors.

'People are tired:' Canadians on humanitarian mission describe life in Cuba

Wow, there sure are a lot of people on this app mourning a racist war criminal. Just another day in the USA.

I've gotten back into my night walks but am afraid to walk where the fox barked at me. Even more so after doing some reading on rabies after a recent Call the Midwife. (The vaccine series can be about $1000 and I am uninsured and unemployed.)

I would never vote for anyone endorsed by Adam Schiff.

Still trying to find a Democrat running for California governor who isn't a joke and Tony Thurmond's accomplishments re: COVID are so incredibly pathetic. His site doesn't have a platform, he's banking on his accomplishments like this.

I can't believe people don't see Zionism as disqualifying in their representatives. Not only is it a racist, right-wing ideology, it proves that their interests are not in representing their constituents. There can also be no climate justice while Israel endlessly bombs its neighbors.

Derek Grasty and Ramsey Robinson, excluded from mainstream California gubernatorial race coverage, represent working and Black communities' concerns through direct lived experience and critique of systemic invisibility.

Super interested in Ramsey Robinson for governor —especially since the dems are running 8,000 moderate candidates

Ew, the moderate Dem who wants my vote for governor thinks it's better to prioritize temporary shelters over affordable housing. What a chump. Not that I would ever vote for a self-described "moderate Democrat" tech geek.

Somehow I had never heard who broke the story on Harvey Weinstein...holy shit, the kid of another Hollywood predator? Absolutely wild.

Everyone Getting Ill More Easily Now Nothing At All To Do With That Virus That Makes You Get Ill More Easily Say Doctors

Love when shallow people think white people are not allowed to talk about privilege as a concept because we have it. I'm sorry to say that people who have privilege can understand the concept and its applications.

Lol, transphobe Ambika Mod has not survived either series I've seen her in. Much harder to care about characters when I know the actor is a JKR stooge.

Have you found yourself looking at the current candidates for U.S. Senate in Maine and wondering if any of them show up for workers then they aren’t campaigning? I’m the only elected union officer in this race and I’ve been speaking up for workers for years. Check it out: www.andreaformaine.com/news

Honestly wish that people would realize that lot of what Trump does/says is pretty run-of-the-mill Rich Boomer White Person, which is not to excuse it! He may be cruder than most, but he's not the exception; he's the rule.

The most depressing thing about Daniel Biss being a sex pest is that people don't believe her, even though he's confirmed it. And a lot of those people who don't believe her are women. Me Too didn't do shit to move society forward.

The fact it looks nothing like him and is extremely light-skinned compared to him is just straight racist. Wtf, Tennessee?

Israel is levelling down entire buildings in central Beirut

Gonna need people who think Daniel Biss is progressive to learn what liberal Zionism is. It's especially bad in his case, where he has clearly realized Israel is losing support, and he needs to be quieter about his own. If someone won't concede that Gaza is a genocide, they are Zionist scum.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Seeing the scowls on the faces of those American baseball players who got beaten by Venezuela is one of the most satisfying things I've seen outside of fiction in a long time. I wonder how many of those sour white men voted for people like that to not be in the country anymore. Hell yeah, Venezuela!

That's a real short list for 60 years

We need a cultural reset where award shows are completely irrelevant.

It’s International Long Covid Awareness Day. One of the best things you can do to support people with Long Covid is wear a mask (ideally a respirator like an N95). Masks break chains of transmission. They prevent infection. The only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid!

A lot of "progressives" talking about how there's too much going on to care about COVID, as if it takes some big effort to put on a respirator. My mental health has been horrible for years, especially since 2022, and I still mask because it's not difficult and I don't want COVID making it even worse

When I ask people to mask it’s not out of a virtuous superiority or even an ethical code. It is because I am in the depths of this hellhole, and I am *screaming* at you not to come down here, and definitely not to shove anyone else in.

Haitian woman, 31, dies alone at Pittsburgh bus stop days after ICE released her to the streets far from home to perish. Rest in power, Daphy Michel: migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

Liberals have made "democracy" into a trigger word for me. I think it started at Mark Hamill referring to Biden as a great defender of democracy while the guy was doing genocide, and has escalated from there. People referring to Israel as "the only Democracy in the Middle East" doesn't help.

The Israeli military has issued a warning that it intends to target ambulances operating in southern Lebanon. #Hezbollah #Lebanon #Israel

12 healthcare workers dead after Israeli strike on Lebanon center https://www.europesays.com/iran/18903/ An Israeli strike on a primary healthcare center in southern Lebanon killed at least 12 medical personnel, according…

Institutional abandonment played a role in paving the way for fascism. As @juliadoubleday.bsky.social said on a recent episode of Public Health is Dead, “you’re not resisting fascism if you’re not making your spaces accessible to disabled people during a pandemic”

I don't want to live in a "You don't owe anyone anything" society and I'm tired of how many people do. This attitude doesn't even benefit most people, yet it's what most have adopted.
