i just threw 2 pennies at a homeless guy, making him objectively better off than he was before, and he got mad at me?! he said he'd rather have nothing? when the data shows a 2 penny increase? i am a moderate liberal and can't figure out why the data isn't resonating with him
@straczynski I will never forget the payoff at the end of Parliament of Dreams - when asked to display the dominant Earth belief Sinclair chose to show them all. Earth is diverse and better for it. Just beautiful.
There's a Game Informer archival project happening in MinnMax's Discord at the moment. Jump in if you feel like being helpful and preserving some history.
It is a dark day in US history when an authoritarian with warrant requests from the International Criminal Court is allowed to address a joint session of Congress.
40k Palestinians are dead.
Hostages aren’t home.
Netanyahu is a war criminal.
I will be boycotting his address.
A thread about our depraved healthcare system, and a plea.
In 2021, my friend Carole was diagnosed with terminal stage four cancer. A single parent with two kids, she had just turned 43. In 2017, she had watched her brother Chris die of the same cancer. He too was in his 40s.
philosophy chair getting arrested, an econ prof getting her head smashed against concrete, a street medic being held down and tased, snipers setting up vantage points to shoot at ohio state students -all because of nationwide protests against a genocide- you SHOULD be radicalized
it has always been hard for me to really think about the Holocaust
I can’t finish books or films devoted to it. I walked out of Schindler’s List
I think of my family, and everything Nazis did to them. I relive their torment, their final agonizing moments. my mom is the same way. her mother barely survived, her grandmother was executed, along with most of the rest of her family
when I think of what they went through, a fate so many others shared, a particular pain grips my chest and throat, my breath becomes ragged, and sob uncontrollably
the same is true when I think of the Holocaust that Zionists have visited upon Palestinians for almost eight decades
I can’t think of one Holocaust, without thinking of the other, they are forever intertwined in my soul
when I see Palestinians suffering genocide, when I see anyone suffering genocide, I see my family
and know it easily could be me, too
I’m filled with a terrible sorrow, but also a terrible rage
it’s a feeling like no other, one I can’t put into words
but this, I can say —
Zionist crimes, the Holocaust of Palestinians, are unforgivable. Just as Nazi crimes and the Holocaust were
my family, and so many others, did not suffer and die just for Zionists to do the same to another people
never again means never again, for anyone
I will never forgive, I will never forget, I will never stop talking about Palestine, even through tears like the ones blurring my vision now
until the day I die and finally join my family I will say, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
I’m a Jewish student at a university where students today held a peaceful protest. What was most reminiscent of Nazi Germany was watching a force of state troopers in riot gear take over our campus.
I voted no tonight on the foreign aid package for one simple reason: U.S. taxpayers should not be providing billions more to the extremist Netanyahu government to continue its devastating war against the Palestinian people.
