I cannot overstate this… if you are afraid that your child is going to have a gender affirming surgery at school but you aren’t afraid they may be shot at school, there is no way we’re living in the same nation.
@JarnoSluis@krassenstein “European descent Christians. Like in the ‘50’s.”
Aka white het men who want all the power. This sounds exactly like the KKK and n@zi’s. Thank you for very clearly stating the fact you were trying to hide.
The Supreme Court has:
-Overturned Roe v. Wade (50+ years of precedent)
-Overturned Chevron (40 years of precedent)
-Overturned affirmative action (60+ years of precedent)
-Allowed cities to criminalize homelessness
And this is all because 1 man became president in 2016.
BREAKING: 40 out of 44 members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have refused to endorse him. Republicans are abandoning the Trump campaign. It begs the question, if they don’t trust Trump, why should you?
Wow.
This video is truly eye-opening.
Take a couple minutes to watch this.
A mind-boggling visual representation of wealth inequality in America.
This sh*t ain’t workin’, folks. #TaxBillionaires#UnionsForAll
Oh, my goodness!
Earlier this year, @RandomActsOrg partnered with @INARAorg to help Gazan families... and now, these twin babies were safely delivered thanks in part to your RA donations.
Thanks for the update, @INARAorg — and welcome to the world, little ones!
If you’re thinking of throwing your vote away this year to “punish the Dems”, you already tried that in 2016 and this is where we are
There are two people who have a chance to be the next president
If Biden loses he will go to his beach house in Delaware with his wife and grandkids and live out his golden years.
You’re not punishing him; you’re punishing yourself. Biden will have passed away while you’re still having your rights stripped away one by one by extreme right christofascist loons
Gaza will be leveled. Trump is on tv THIS WEEK saying he supports Israel “finishing the job”
Taiwan will be taken by China
Ukraine taken by Russia
NATO weakened considerably
Muslim Americans rounded up and deported
Hispanic Americans rounded up and deported
Zero chance at universal healthcare
But please carry on with your “protest” as you shoot yourself in the foot to “punish” an 81 year old man who doesn’t need this shit, but is doing it to protect you from Trump, and apparently yourselves
Where were you when Roe v Wade was overturned? I was in a voting
Booth in November of 2016 voting for
Hillary. Where were you?
One of the more surprising things I’ve learned in my years as a marriage and family therapist is that pets are more than just “man’s best friend”—most families see them as *actual* members of the family system.
The thing that finally made me see it clearly was grief.

Two summers ago, a new neighbor of ours….who just assumed we were Trump supporters…was doing the typical “chat across the fence” thing that happens when two people happen to be in their yard and near the fence line at the same time.
We had some surface level chat about the housing market, etc….since he had just bought a house. He then took a swerve to the border. “Man, if we don’t get these Mexicans flooding across the border shut down…this country will be all screwed to hell.”
I asked, “Hey. Who roofed your fucking house last week? Looked like a hispanic crew to me. I didn’t see one person who looked like white. Know why? (We lived in a depressed economic rural setting) I’ll tell you why. Because every Goddamn white, high school drop out around here…is on social media bitching about not being able to make $40 fucking dollars an hour for doing NOTHING.”
He looked intimidated. I was comfortable with that.
I don’t know about where you live, but for the last twenty-years…in my area…I’ve watched immigrants happily doing hard jobs for a solid livable wage, and showing up to work on time every day of the week.
When it comes to hard, strenuous jobs….where you actually have to bust your ass all day long, the immigrants are the ones getting a lot of it done.
The neighbor hasn’t tried to speak to me again. That’s probably best.
I watched our weekly postings of who has been thrown in our county jail. There’s almost never an immigrant in our jail. It is flooded with repeat Meth addicts for stealing, domestic abuse, or assault charges of some kind.
I know one thing; I never see the people who are on in and out of our jail….on the roof of a house on a miserably scorching mid-July day making some Trump supporting asshole happy that they didn’t have to roof their own house. Never.
@SimGuruPedro So now what’s the deal with constantly being told that my account is logged in on another device and being kicked out?? Every couple of minutes I get kicked out. I still don’t have my Sunset Jetty stuff back; relationships randomly zero out and acquaintances disappear. 😡
When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.
In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.
It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.
