The very nature of blood quantum is rooted in genocide and ethnic cleansing. The Nazis used this concept to justify targeting Jews and they got it from us. This is a way of ensuring that, in time, an indigenous group will go extinct. If they can't enroll new members based on blood, they'll die off.

A group of soldiers appeared on Benin’s state TV, announcing they had dissolved the government in what appears to be a coup in the West African nation.

The liberals in the replies are Exhibit A in “You are the problem.” They seem to think the cause is everything, except the current spread of COVID, which is literally scrambling everyone’s brains. Wear a fucking mask and take this shit seriously instead of being a selfish asshole and going to brunch
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

To those who read this. Your anger towards the system is completely justified. Don't let people gaslight you into thinking otherwise. What the US government is doing is causing real harm to millions of people.

Abolish ICE. Abolish Racism. Abolish the state.

It couldn't be more obvious what happened with the EHRC. Liz Truss stacked it with open bigots like Falkner for the purpose of producing transphobic guidance. It started under the Tories and Labour has let it continue.
Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

This. We need to push the Democrats hard to be the pro-immigrant party. Give people a damn choice. Cheeto is making a sadistic spectacle, but in too many ways, he's just bringing the reality of what America has been doing out into the streets for everyone to see.
Joe Biden started his senate career opposing Vietnamese refugee resettlement in the US. Obama ramped up deportations to record levels and gave Tom Homan an award.

There is literally no one in the top levels of Dem politicians who is affirmatively pro-immigrant.

It’s all so clearly about capital controlling expression and sexuality. Of course they want to sell porn from institutions who play ball instead of artists who don’t.
crazy all the websites and paypros are doing their big No Horny Allowed crackdown while every online advertisement now is iether "AI SEX HOT AI CHAT NO FILTER BOOB AI FURRY GIRLFRIEND only for adults ages 6+" or "NPR is now teaming up with Bumfights dot com to revolutionize gamified asset trading"

At the risk of going on about this too much, the fact that Gavin Nuisance has to use euphemisms like “culturally normal” to mean “transphobia”, and probably also “supporting genocide” and other, as yet undefined, nasties, suggests what he means by “culturally normal” is not culturally acceptable.

"those minorities deserve what trump is doing to them" is an opinion shared by both the worst of the MAGA types and also too many spiteful liberals excited for an excuse to join in on the bigotry. real bipartisan effort

i worry for the trans woman who fears femininity and so chooses to suffocate rather than embrace her expression just as i worry for the trans woman who forces herself into a femininity unnatural to her because she fears that any less will strip her of her womanhood

there are a million meaner ways to say this but I’m choosing to be gentle here bc you’re generally good: you don’t need to use anti-asian stereotypes to criticize white supremacy in america. you should just call it out for what it is.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded

BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Receipts I just got banned from fetish playhouse on Reddit because I checked if the Sapphic panty subreddit would allow trans women and when they said no I just explained to them that is transphobic and homophobic. So they decided to part ways with me for explaining that as per their own words

The lens through which I religiously analyze everything political is the generalized interpretation of Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail.
He was so right and I hate how we whitewash and defang his politics. I'd say many do not even know what he stood for.

Letter from Birmingham Jail, by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter to 8 white church leaders, written from a jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963.
