Insane to think that all through the 90s we were told we absolutely had to let the Klan march in American cities to protect free speech and now they're withholding diplomas, firing people, imposing travel bans, qmd running weekslong smear campaigns for saying the word genocide.
@endofanerajc If the guy knows that, he has to be real that you’ll eventually want to wear heels. If he’s cool, he’ll be secure about it bc he’s already on a date with you & enjoying your company!! Besides you’ll rock the heels if you wear them, he won’t be thinking about height difference.
A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.
I’m not saying Graham Platner should or shouldn’t be a candidate for a Senate seat, but I am saying that the media’s treatment of Platner as compared to its treatment of Ken Paxton is the same as the media’s treatment of Joe Biden as compared to its treatment of Donald Trump. The media bolsters the MAGA narrative that there’s never a decent Democrat nor an indecent MAGA Republican.
“He’s the best candidate by far. And probing into the minutia of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous”
@CollinRugg I hope you understand that half of this debate isn’t even really about abortion.
It’s about whether society is willing to bear the costs of the values it professes. By rejecting eugenics, society must create conditions where disabled people can actually live with dignity.
@acnewsitics@feelsdesperate THANK YOU bc VA disability is percentage-based (0–100%) and rates how severe service-connected conditions are or compound. SSDI is all-or-nothing: you must prove you can’t do “substantial gainful activity” (SGA) in any job in the economy.
@danielpartjones@UnseriousDude_@feelsdesperate@TwiztedFister@Derridazs@acnewsitics There is such a HUGE difference between how one qualifies for Social Security Disability Insurance (which IS work based) & the VA has a whole calculus into how they make those determinations and it is NOT the same. My dad was a disabled vet. Thank you for your service, Daniel.
@danielpartjones@UnseriousDude_@feelsdesperate@TwiztedFister@Derridazs@acnewsitics I am so sorry the literacy in this thread is lacking. Because apparently you have to be Stephen Hawking to be 100% disabled when you’ve never “put your life in another man's hands, ask him to put his life in yours?” (Ik Nicholson is the villain in the move but such a good quote)
