They like ai girlfriend therapists because it allows them to be in a relationship with themselves and have to put zero effort into the other person

This is white supremacy

The focus is on the pretty anecdote at the end, not the struggle

It drastically deemphasizes the seriousness of the moment, already skipping to the end.

Our word should be enough, but we ww prospered off the degrading of the word of others and tying our worth to white men

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

For every time someone yells aipac and they dont mention the dozens of other foreign lobbies it just proves how much they truly care about foreign money interests

You cry this much about all the money republican politicians and advisors have PERSONALLY made from Saudi Arabia and Qatar and others?

Your belief that you weren't inherently racist because you weren't exchanging slurs with your peers IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM

Jim Crow wasnt "inherently racist" in your view

Neither is gerrymandering and redlining.

Republicans were always this racist

Dogwhistles are just as racist as slurs

The ideology in the horseshoe theory that connects the right and left is WHITE SUPREMACY

Lauren-Ashley Arts @laurenashley087.bsky.social · 3d

White people need to talk to other white people. It is entirely up to the whites to move the needle on their end.

Let me be clear: racism and antisemitism are rampant on *both* sides of the aisle.

Your twentysomething niece has fallen for the okie doke just as easily as your Boomer uncle.

If ALL women cared then white women wouldn't have voted for Trump 3x in a fucking row

Shut up

Stop it. They are not criticizing white politicians at the same rate. They are criticizing Cory Booker, Hakeem Jeffries and AIPAC, and buying into a lot of the white supremacist propaganda of the left

For someone claiming the importance of "logic" and evidence, one would think you would understand the concept of being unable to prove a negative.

You think you have a point but you are just embarrassing yourself

You only dont think there is proof because of the past decade of him and his minions presenting "Alternative facts" and utterly confusing the likes of you because you cant tell the difference

Coffeebara @dorothysporesnack.bsky.social · 3d

Funny that you bring the word "logic" into a discussion where you are obviously not using any.

"You cant be mad about this because of this other wholly unrelated thing from the past"

Like a 3rd grader's idea of a good argument.

There is no budget though and even where there IS money, it is allocated to something else or isnt supposed to be touched.

There has been no CR. We dont know where the money came from as of now but we know it wasnt supposed to be there.

(I agree with the defense budget being too big)

So...military is being paid

But from where is the money being taken for it?

Giving the benefit of the doubt to a white man that has done nothing to deserve it. Again

Coffeebara @dorothysporesnack.bsky.social · 4d

Stop it. We have done this before and it ended BADLY. Listen and take the advice of Black people.

Stop giving the benefit of the doubt to white men who have done nothing to deserve it

As to the "don't want another Fetterman" concerns about Platner: A few former Fetterman people are consultants for the campaign.. and they are aggressively FORMER Fetterman people, to judge by my conversations.

Yeah, it is 100% illegal regardless of where the money is coming from.

It feels weird and I really wish we weren't in this position

We are a military family and bank with USAA, money hit our account as expected...

1. Im glad my husband got paid

2. Something is definitely very wrong because a CR was never passed

I have the strong suspicion that Indivisible is run by Lincoln project or similar Bush era Republicans

All their ads come across as 'let's fight for freedom, but we're still keeping our eye on you'

It is heartbreaking and infuriating. It didn't have to happen.

I dont know how the younger soldiers and those with families will survive. So many do not have a wider support system and joined specifically for a steady paycheck and healthcare benefits

I really admire your commitment to shitting on Royal Kingdom and all the weirdos taking their money
