So these 30 yr olds men are young boys but 14 yr old girls are adults. Is that what I'm hearing?

They are out there busily lowering the age of consent in red states to combat this issue. That's why they are also lowering the age of prosecution as an adult. Precedent. "See, judge. Those 12 yr old girls are adults. We're not creepy p3dos."

Just saw a AI graph on the hellsite showing a new poll that transgender youth number dropped dramatically over the last year. All the xtians are celebrating saying it was a fad and those poor 13-17 yr olds are harmed forever. WHAT? That's the take, not "it's not safe to be trans or LGBTQ here"?

They are here to fight CA, OR and WA citizens that our military won't want to fight. Good location to attack Canada as well. Wtf

I've never been happier with a recommendation from a random stranger. Logging off immediately, good luck suckers.

Also that image is AI, the sign does not say that.

Cancel your newspaper subscriptions and follow independent journalism instead. Support their Substacks and share. Biased news like the NYT, WP etc is useless and being censored even more than meta socials and that's saying something.

So who's developing the new platform to communicate after all socials are corrupted and censored? Quick, before it's banned on iPhones

Well at least we can see a clear correlation between a shitty education system and stupid choices. Yay data

They are just going to keeping playing the hits until we stop dancing to them. Hits include:
Trans people
Immigrants
Abortions
Anyone not a white Christian is coming to kill you in the night and take your gun and beefaroni.

Barbra Streisand is joining Jane Fonda and 600+ entertainment figures in re-launching the Committee for the First Amendment. Fonda announced the revival of the organization, initially founded by her father, Henry Fonda. The organization was founded in the 1940s to defend free speech against fascism.

One hell of a shell game he's been playing. What happens when everyone realizes money is all pretend and we could just trade stuff with each other?

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield: "California, DC, Memphis, potentially Illinois, now Oregon - this normalization that you can use the US military in our cities. That is un-American & every place that it happens, you will see Democratic attorneys general standing up, drawing a line in the sand & saying, 'No'"

The " if I can't fix it all I'll just do nothing " vibe is not a viable choice rn. Do what you can whenever you can and it WILL help.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨

People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend.

Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Fascism is bad for business. War is bad for 99% of businesses. Both are a classic way for a handful of people to consolidate power and wealth. They want to TAKE your business not help it.
