So I've taken the liberty of creating a QR code that links to @MPD_150's FAQ about what police abolition, or #DefundThePolice, involves (thanks to @TweetneyMoore for the suggestion of resource!). A QR code lets you share this quickly and easily in person, like at an event.
@MikeDrucker It makes me feel so crazy, not only that things like this happen, but what it makes me think more broadly. Because this admin is both ruining American citizens lives, and embarrassing America as a whole. And its so specific it feels like an op. Like I really believe its a set up.
Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE
Remember this trash propaganda from the NY Post claiming 2 million New Yorkers would leave if Mamdani gets elected?
Welp—we're on month 6. Mamdani's approval has gone from +38 upon inauguration to +48 today, robberies are down 11%, retail theft is down 19%, murders are down 21%—AND NO ONE HAS LEFT NYC.
A reminder that when billionaires claim "they'll leave if they have to pay their fair share of taxes," they're lying, because they're liars, and all they know how to do is lie, because truth and facts end their corruption.
“I don’t feel anything right now” as the world is falling apart and innocent people are suffering and dying. She gets to live a life of wealth and privilege so that isn’t shocking she has zero opinion about what’s currently happening because none of it affects her.
Things don’t have to directly affect you in order for you to feel empathy and compassion. You can be rich and privileged but still acknowledge the suffering others are experiencing. Saying you don’t feel anything just makes you look like a sociopath. What a soulless thing to say.
If her husband thinks she’s a republican based on her behavior then she’s clearly a lot more conservative than she’s letting on in this interview. You either agree with what’s happening in this country or you don’t. Not feeling anything tells me you don’t think it’s a big deal and don’t condemn the actions of our government.
@namu_mere022193@hotmachina The Loquatious speech makes me choke up every time... and then laugh my head off! Knowing how much of that was written in the short window of a little break just off camera is... crazy.
@swd2 Not to mention everyone who's ever tried to strip women of their bodily autonomy under the guise of being "pro-life"... I know damn well not one of them cares about providing health and nutrition to the pregnant in need.
@beagewill@CBSMornings Doesn't surprise me at all. A young person still sees the art as something defined by their voice. They care about what comes before, and the process of expression. Someone like Scorsese? Its just a job, and a source of income. You CAN keep the passion forever... but few do.
@TheRochaSays Even though I'm in the right age demo for it, I had zero connection to the IP as a kid, it just never interested me (I was more Power Rangers/TMNT). But the movie looks pretty fun, so I'll go see it. It would be nice if thats all it took, but who really knows.
@Sylviesboots It drives me crazy when these Disney franchises (Marvel, Star Wars) start to flag, largely because of corporatization, oversaturation, lack of artistic vision... and we get these mouth breathing morons crowing about "go woke go broke." They are bad for other reasons! Fuck.
It's antisemitic to conflate Jews and Israel. Which is exactly what the ADL is doing by calling the "Israel Day Parade" a "Jewish celebration"
As a Jewish person who lives here, I'm pretty fucking glad we finally have a mayor who isn't at a parade celebrating atrocity crimes.
@RuffCrim "You want this arm, and this is why me and all my bros struggle to get second dates! Because we haven't got gorilla arms, admit it! No further examination of self is needed, my conversations about crypto are great first date material."
@RuffCrim Part of whats going on here is this... if you think women want impossible male physiques, then you can excuse your own failure with romance (and blame women too). If you acknowledge their physical standards are average, then you have to consider criteria like personality, etc.
