To be an actor is to, at times, visit those places & scary parts of ourselves that we, as humans, spend our entire lives trying to avoid

@jk_rowling Are you this dense on purpose? This has absolutely nothing to do with feminism, & you know it. Just admit that you’re transphobic. Stop the pretending like you’re anything more than a horrible person who chooses to remain ignorant. You are not a feminist.

The funniest thing is, Americans on TikTok have downloaded RedNote, which is a similar platform. It is a Chinese app 😂
It's number one in the Apple app store.
Americans are learning that everything the Western world teaches us about China is wrong. They are also learning how the world views the US.
This conservative push to ban TikTok has backfired.
I don't believe the ban will happen

@elonmusk You’re so full of shit lmfao.

So, you want me to believe that you voted for a racist, rapist, convicted felon, business fraud who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol after losing the last election because of the price of eggs?
That you voted for the orange-dipped dude who ran with a different VP because the last one was nearly hanged for not breaking democracy, because you’ve been getting fewer hours at your job these days?
You want me to believe that you voted for someone who nearly every economist in the world has said will grow our debt (which he did by the third largest amount ever the last time), increase our costs, raise inflation and destroy our GDP because a burger and fries at Five Guys is more expensive than it used to be?
You want me to believe that you voted for the drink bleach guy who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day because you had it so much better then, when you were stockpiling toilet paper, than you do now?
You want me to believe that you voted for the guy who had 4 years to pass an infrastructure bill and didn’t, the guy who promised Mexico would pay for the wall when they didn’t, the guy who promised to bring manufacturing back, lower the cost of prescription drugs and end the opioid crisis but didn’t, because you preferred his “policies”?
You want me to believe you voted for the “grab em by the pussy” guy who wants to destroy the Department of Education and to repeal the ACA despite the fact that he has nothing more than “concepts of a plan” to replace it, the guy who will roll back environmental protections, strip women and minorities of more rights, the guy who will hand Ukraine to Putin and Gaza to Netanyahu, the guy who has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, because you’re worried about losing your gas stove?
I’m sorry, but I don’t believe any of that, and frankly, I’m not sure you believe it either.
Because the truth is that your vote wasn’t about any of that.
You voted for the traitorous embodiment of the 7 deadly sins because when it came to casting your ballot for a Black woman, you just couldn’t do it.
And because you like getting away with being your worst self.
And because life is a whole lot easier to stomach when all that has gone wrong for you, is someone else’s fault.

Let’s be honest here, that is what it was.

So when the price of eggs is $18, and your Latino neighbors have been deported or moved to some f’d up “camp” to pick the strawberries none of you will pick, and your miscarrying wife has to contend with sepsis before she’s allowed to have an abortion, and your autistic child is unable to get the early intervention they desperately need, please remember what it really was that you voted for.

Because I promise you the rest of us will never, ever forget.

@sher_worrell @JeremiahTBruce @iamyesyouareno Killing, raping, and enslaving people = conquered land to you?

This land was stolen. And you shouldn’t want this to be the ONLY way forever. That’s a sad, pathetic excuse to continue being evil.

[Caramía @caramiafretti]

@sher_worrell @JeremiahTBruce @iamyesyouareno How about break the cycle? Why are we continuing this evil, vicious loophole? And why are you okay with that?

[Caramía @caramiafretti]

@elonmusk GREAT question!!!! Here’s another question: Why are we sending billions of dollars worth of ammo to Israel? Why are we funding a genocide?

Why are we prioritizing giving funds to Israel to commit ethnic cleansing instead of prioritizing helping American citizens? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

McDonalds’ CEO is paid $8,543.27 an hour.

Burger King’s CEO is paid $56,250 an hour.

Domino’s CEO is paid $4,875 an hour.

Throwing that out there before anyone starts complaining that $20 an hour is too high.

Misogynists are crying about birthrates. Complaining that women value their own lives, goals, & ambitions as lawmakers in the US make being pregnant even more dangerous with abortion bans.

But let's not forget the US also has sky rocketing cost of childcare, no legally required maternity leave, not to mention the out of pocket cost just to give birth.

Women aren't to blame for plummeting birthrates, misogynists thinking women should always "take one for the team" are. Women do not owe misogynists or society babies.

Seeing some news (finally) about Long Covid behaving like HIV.

I have been HIV positive since 2007 and am very lucky to have a very good doctor, an HIV specialist, so I asked him about it.

Here is the photo of the daughter who initially made the allegation with her mother. We need to identify both.

[Mnar Adley @MnarMuh]

My brother and our cousins, who are Palestinian-American, were pulled off the airplane and held by airport security & police at the Minneapolis, MN (MSP) airport last night on their way home from a wedding and were not allowed to leave after questioning because a White woman (pictured below) on board "felt scared" and told the airline my brother and his friends were suspicious for taking turns using the bathroom and claimed they made a bomb threat directly to her.

My brother and cousins were speaking in Arabic and English and wearing Palestine necklaces. They are all in their early 20s.

In addition, security took several other Arabic speaking & Muslim passengers off the plane for questioning and held them preventing them from leaving as well. They were all racially profiled and treated as suspect.

After about an hour, security and police realized there was no basis to the woman's claims and they she was lying and so they sent everyone home. They refused to give my brother the name of the woman and refused to allow him to file a false police report against the woman.

The police told my brother to just go home and there is nothing to report on, "it's a she said, he said situation".

But this woman put my brother, our cousins and Arabic speaking passengers in danger. Anyone on the plane could've reacted to her allegation and became violent, even pulled out a gun on them or caused panick.

He, our cousins and the other Arabic speaking passengers were treated as suspect because they are Palestinian-American and this is without a doubt the result of mainstream corporate media dehumanization of Palestinian victims in Gaza that are being targeted by incessant Israeli bombs. Since October 7th the media has helped manufacture consent for Israel's genocide in Gaza that has killed over 20,000 Palestinians using US supplied bombs by parroting Israeli talking points that portray all Palestinians as subhuman.

We still don't know this woman's name and would like help identifying her.

Hey, just a reminder that we've spent $8 trillion dollars on the "War on Terror", which averages to A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY since 9/11.

Imagine pumping A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY into schools, healthcare, infrastructure, and small businesses for the last 22 years.

What a waste.

[Tito Idakula @titoidakula]

I have thought about this often. How traumatic experiences keep us bound. We don't become all that we have been created to be because the fear of failure or pain is overwhelming. We hide our potential and pretend we don't know it exists because it is safer that way.
