We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

The way traditionally Thanksgiving has been celebrated erases the indigenous history, the way they were pushed out and forced out of their homes and lands, it celebrates colonialism and white settlers and a one-sided view of history. Let’s all reflect on that please.

This is not Valencia, this is the town Tenbury Wells UK. There are very real consequences for all of us of ignoring 40 years of warnings from NASA & the world’s leading scientists. Reminder: as the planet heats, the atmosphere holds more moisture meaning rainfall intensity increases. #climatechange

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Not an echo chamber of consistent opinions, but an echo chamber of consistent respect. It feels like coming home.
I would say one of the best pros is that as a conservative I have engaged many liberals and most people have been very open to conversation. It overall just seems more civil and like what conversation or sharing your cultural beliefs and values should be like.
