I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; you cannot be “fiscally conservative but socially liberal”. If you are “fiscally conservative” your privilege allows you to support institutions and industries that create societal inequality. Therefor you are not “socially liberal”.

@LokiSuaveHp Such a specific insult there Peter. Tell us how you really feel

It's that fun time of year to stop union busting and negotiate a fair contract with your workers.

[Horace Goodwill, tonicke purveyor 🇵🇸 @eff_hey]

making a film about Finland in WWII that is set in the two months where the Finnish army was (extremely unwillingly) fighting the Nazis instead of the three years where they were a Nazi ally is a genuinely astonishing bit of revisionism by omission

My University is under shelter in place orders due to an active shooter in town for the second time this week. Its fucking Wednesday. We went one day without an issue. I’m safe, but I’m tired. Why do we accept this?

Side note from yesterday’s chaos. We REALLY want to play a game in which your ENTIRE objective is to stop a rebellion of an oppressed people? Like… that’s your game of the year?

Okay.

Reasons NOT to buy #HogwartsLegacy

- it has antisemitic plotlines where you have to put down a goblin rebellion
- the devs have already been paid
- the TERF uses her platform to parrot transphobic ideologies
- trans & Jewish lives are more important than childhood nostalgia

[Edward Snowden @Snowden]

You want to fix policing? Remove their immunity so that they can be sued, and if you win, damages come out of the department's pension fund instead of from taxpayers.

They'll clean house on their own. Quickly.

Stop saying it’s “a few bad apples.” That’s not the quote.

The quote is, “A few bad apples spoil the bunch.”

Police kill more than 2200 people a year and less than 5% are ever convicted of murder. This isn’t justice. This isn’t freedom.

In 2023 gyms need to start enforcing policy that if you’re caught taking photos or videos of someone without their consent to post on social media to bully, shame, or embarrass them, your membership is automatically revoked and you’re banned from the gym. Gyms need to do better.

[Lyra, Esq., is NOT DAREDEVIL @PinkRangerLB]

JK Rowling has explicitly said she believes the money she makes is evidence that people generally agree with her views on trans people or at least those beliefs aren’t a dealbreaker to them. *You* might not think buying Wizarding stuff is supporting her views, but she sure does.

@mishamarceline It won’t. Do what you want. But it won’t.

3/4 Republican senators just voted against protecting interracial and same-sex marriage.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.

These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.

Colorado voted yes to reintroducing wolves, and legalizing psychedelics. The perfect combination.

Voters in line at my precinct today were encouraged to share machines with their spouses to make additional space in the room. I cannot emphasize enough how uncomfortable that makes me.
