"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

It's not, if not a than b... And he already got it running for a third term? That would be unconstitutional!

Trans people are telling you you're not, trans people are telling you you are acting in a way that does not support them, but yes please keep mansplaining to us.

You you need to check your privilege, as a trans person I'm telling you check your fucking privilege don't tell me to check mine I don't have any here. We get fucked either way, we just refuse to fuck ourselves or fuck other people to save ourselves. That's you!

Being a gay Ally is not being a trans Ally, do your research

For some of us there the hill we are actually dying on, however there are a bunch of other hills that were also dying on whilst you demand we vote blue once again.

you don't give a fuck about people outside of your country, your children are not more important than anyone else's children, yet clearly you believe they deserve a privileged position. Stop acting like you're on some moral high ground.

The fascists have full control now sorry you weren't paying attention when that happened

You seem to be really obsessed with trans people buddy, it's weird like really weird is that your entire personality?

She/they/it @branwensrookery.bsky.social · 17h

Nah you're missing the point, I don't expect Democrats to support me that's why I've stopped supporting Democrats. It's crazy to have a political party made entirely of centrist and you still lose the popular election.

I see post everyday that say I don't recognize this America or some version of that, the fact is is you were just blind to the fact that America existed just as it's presenting itself now all along.

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

You're an idiot and have never done a kink scene evidently.

Ooh I completely disagree, treat them all the same shame them together perhaps they'll do better next time. The dude at work who believes every video in the end will have the same amount of votes as Stephen Miller. They should be ashamed that they believe every video not coddled because they're dumb

Christina Holland @mortalwombat.info · 9d

The whole debate about "how do we treat right wingers" is a pointless mess because like which ones? Stephen Miller? A random troll? Your gullible coworker who believes all the videos he watches about cities being war zones but is nice to everyone in real life? They all require different approaches

Unless normies are helping to burn down existing political infrastructures then I don't think that we agree on what a win is. "Normie" liberals haven't won since the 30s. And they've exposed that they're extremely transphobic, xenophobic, racist, Christians. Including normies includes fascism

Just made out with Jesus, I guess I'm up for betrayal 😼

You are literally ignoring actual history to argue a point that you already lost, you're used to being right because nobody dares correct you, you chase validation like it's your entire identity. Go circle jerk with liberals somewhere else

You are so many levels of absolutely stupid, the United States also sold materials to Germany, the United States with the most liberal government that it has ever had power. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines...

While there are exceptions you can look at how votes break down historically to see that poor white people & white people of all classes eagerly uphold systems such as fascism that inflict harm upon them & theirs in order to feel as if they’re better than Black people go cry to your mother about it

This is so genuinely old-fashioned (I'm in my 40s, and this is a sound I associate with my parents) that I had to Google the guy to see if he was just lip-syncing in a TikTok or something. But no, he's the real deal.
