what the right wants free speech to be: saying slurs without any social consequences and getting jobs on how based you are

also what the right wants free speech to be. getting fired for being LGBTQ, brown, black, or a woman

People in Gaza are still collecting the skulls and decomposed remains of their children from beneath the rubble, while some fantasize about building a resort on their mass graves, and others gloat over a minority that refused to vote for the party that enabled a genocide.

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

Palestine was the test to see what they could do. Not standing in solidarity with Palestinians was not only a major moral and ethical failing it was a strategic mistake that everyone will pay for.

Unfortunately we’ve had to transfer responsibility, for the genocide we did, onto people who didn’t reelect us to keep doing it 😔

remember when libs used to say "the president can't just magically do stuff you stupid tankie"

US liberals talk about protecting democracy a lot but they seem to revile it in practice. the idea that a politician should ever be required to do anything to win votes, rather than simply represent an amorphously 'good' or 'bad' team, is treated as some sick heresy

Why is every call for the left & liberals to unite against the right always aimed at the left? A finger wagging at the uncooperative left? Because the left is expected “unite” by asking for nothing and expecting nothing. The left must “unite” by getting in line behind the liberals and being quiet
