“what radicalized you?” idk I just think we shouldn’t be killing citizens, sending people to concentration camps, bankrupting people for healthcare, letting children starve, endangering women’s health, abducting world leaders, stealing foreign resources, or villainizing marginalized communities

REMINDER: War Crimes committed on soil of a signature nation to the International Criminal court expose those committing crimes to the jurisdiction of the ICC--even if their own country is not a member. Venezuela is a member of the ICC. Thus, Trump can and MUST be prosecuted at The Hague

"Reproductive freedom should be sacrosanct" and "we should tax women who refuse to breed" are not in fact mutually compatible statements.

I hope every country in the world boycotts and shuns trade and travel with the US, divests every penny from US investments, and bans travel to their countries by US citizens. If the US wants isolationism, let us rot alone. We deserve to fail.

Yes it does?

It very literally is one of the core tenets of fascism??

And also it’s not attributable to “madness”. Mental illness has nothing to do with bigotry, racism, hate, and power tripping.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

The phrase “ parents have a legitimate concern about integration of races in schools and as a party, we haven’t done a very good job of listening to those concerns.” would shock and offend I would hope. A similar statement about trans kids should also shock and offend.

We missed our window when Biden and Garland waited until campaign season to investigate Trump for his coup. He should have been arrested on Jan. 21 2021 and held incommunicado with access only to lawyers. Biden and Garland will be viewed on par with Weimar as historically inept in the face of nazism

people will say life is a roller coaster, but i don't think that's true. it's more like one of those kids rides where they give you a steering wheel to turn, but no matter how you turn the wheel, you keep slowly going in circles until everything stops

If you currently live in a blast furnace, please remember your furry puppets and their need for water and paw protection.
And please help spread the below to others.❤️
Please remember to check the sidewalk temperature before you take your pooch for a walk.

Delicate beans need protection.

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.
