Let's make a promise here, friends... we ARE going to abolish ICE. Not REFORM it. ABOLISH it. And we're going to put that massive budget back into funding all the things that actually HELP people.

Two of my favorite people to listen to, who are meeting this moment with calm, kindness and love - a welcome antidote to the outrage machine of modern media and politics. Inspirational and aspirational.

You write what you want to write about, she writes what she wants to write about. She *is* an expert on that subject. Are *you* an expert on cursing? Just don’t be a dick to trans people, ffs.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

So if I kick the tire of my car out of frustration bc it’s not functioning properly, am I now committing assault?

Bigotry against machines…this timeline is batshit.

Nope. Nope! That’s not how this works. No one forced you to create the original TOS. Either this is the wild, wild west bc <bows head> the sacred AT protocol or you stick to your own rules. You can’t have it both ways. (One of those will make this site trash, btw)

Jen Holder @jenholder.bsky.social · 7d

Yes, absolutely.

Gawd, are they all just terrible at this? Or is it that there’s a specific dollar amount that makes every human being lose their standards and values.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Same boat, different reasons. I don’t get the same level of info no matter how carefully I curate and engage my followers feed. It’s just, different. But I left for principled, good reasons and I have to remember that. The rational, reasoned comments here are enough, I think, to make up for it.

The arrogant dripping condescension is objectively annoying, but it does suck that our government has set us up to not know what is real or what is fake.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Kitchen table issues = I’m going to flip this damn kitchen table over if elected Democrats don’t start taking this shit seriously and doing their damn jobs.

Jen Holder @jenholder.bsky.social · Aug 24

Great 🧵The follow on conclusion for why the left does this is it sucks to feel helpless and like the problem is out of your control. It’s very difficult to change mass stupidity, evil and susceptibility to lies. Easier to hope a change in your own behavior could be the solution.

I really enjoyed this @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social pod about Covid & MAHA, but one thing it repeatedly revealed is a habit of liberals that drives me crazy. A short 🧵.
