Ah, I remember now why I quit Twitter in 2021. Too many leftists wanting to fight each other over non-existent ideological differences they made up in their head based on their own issues. Just not productive. I think I’m done here. Y’all have fun.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.
It's brutal.
And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Sometimes I laugh knowing that somewhere one of my former colleagues is trying to grift into this crunchy-turned-fascist pipeline after claiming to study queer issues.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

I remember when I thought faculty at universities were leftist in meaningful numbers and not just liberals whose most revolutionary action is bullying others into using whatever elitist terminology is in vogue at the moment.

My favorite lib tic is their tendency to randomly attack the USSR and China when arguing against fascists.
And I guarantee you they don’t know shit about either. While we were taught a ton in K12 about Hitler, no one ever elaborated on Stalin except to say they were basically the same.

“Extreme MAGA Republicans” is such a stupid thing to say. Republicans. Full stop. Stop acting like this is a fringe element of the party. There are no friends to be found here. No bipartisanship worth pursuing (if there ever has been). Spineless coward.
Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs.
And lying about their connection to Project 2025.
They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda.
And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.

If I had to guess, a larger percentage of pro-🇵🇸 people voted Dem for president than the percentage of white women that did.
If this is true, why wouldn’t it be okay to say all women deserve to lose their rights because they voted for it?
Or are we just mocking people who dared demand more?

I cannot believe “politicians should have to earn votes through doing good things” is a controversial statement
Like you libs are also in love with capitalism, so you should know you have a product you have to convince people to buy. Idk ask your corporate donors how to sell products or something

Can we stop trying to boycott everything and do like BDS & focus our efforts a bit more because the “conscious consumer” BS is way too broad and ill-defined to ever gain any real momentum.
I suspect the people who want to boycott everything are the same ones who think “she’ll win if you just vote!”
