If you say Palestine isn’t a legitimate litmus test but don’t mask in the sixth year of an ongoing pandemic, I have some news for you:
You’re not practicing harm reduction; you’re just a self-centered asshole happy to sacrifice anyone to place a buffer between you and suffering or discomfort.

A word for anyone thinking of going non-contact with toxic family members: Those who destroy your world don’t have a right to be in it.
You owe nothing to narcissists and abusers just because they gave you some DNA.

Sabrina Carpenter clapped back at White House within hours of them using her music to showcase their cruelty. Taylor Swift, one of the most litigious artists of our time, has said nothing about either instance of the Trump using her music. Make of that what you will.

Dems (now): Republicans need to work with us if they want our votes to pass a budget. Their unwillingness to compromise brought us here.
Dems (also now): Those leftists should’ve voted with us even though we didn’t budge an inch on their key issues. Our unwillingness to compromise is not at fault.

Am I glad that Beto is acknowledging that what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide? Yeah. Better late than never.
But calling a protestor a jackass gave off the exact same vibes of Kamala’s “I’m speaking,” and you will never convince me that that wasn’t the moment she lost the ‘24 election.

Kamala Harris: “I predicted a lot of this, but I did not predict the capitulation.”
Reality: Capitulating to the right is why Kamala lost.
If she hadn’t courted billionaires and the non-existent anti-fascist Republican bloc throughout her candidacy, she’d be POTUS.

A Democrat criticizing Zohran Mamdani while hanging out with Ted Nugent is essentially a Republican. This is what happens when your political existence is wholly reliant on triangulation instead of values.

If Harris were POTUS, we still be deporting immigrants, supporting Israel in their illegal war with Iran, funding genocide, and politicizing public health to render it completely useless.

Are we going to return to the days of involuntary sterilizations that aren’t that far back in our nation’s past?
