@MothNessMonster @regcel7167710 @TexasLucha @sweetlotusfish Thank you for this. 🌻

@crassby @michelletandler @LouMannheim87 @HardRtRump In doing so, were they working to take your rights away? X talks; empathy walks.

@RpsAgainstTrump Hey look, it’s Turd Koppel, host of the hugely popular show Spiteline

@hondacrvthe3rd Cadillac (blackjack baby meet me out back we’re gonna boogie)…love it!

@natgrace79 @pages_and I suspect it is because there is a long cultural history of Black women wearing fashionable hats to church, so saying they “aren’t fashion statements or cosplay” might seem disparaging of that tradition. Just a guess.

@1followernodad And any time you see the universalization of that kind of advice (‘any time women ________, you need to _______’), it’s clearly coming from a mindset or philosophy not based in equity, and a fundamental lack of respect for others’ varied, valid paths. 🚩🚩🚩all over the place…

[Sean NW @headscratching]

@1followernodad It’s certainly an admission of a specific kind of ongoing consent violation. “I need to protect you from yourself because you won’t [or aren’t allowed to] set your own boundaries,” is a huge signpost indicating some kind of codependence via enmeshment or unhealthy power dynamics

@benmooreben1 @MarkMShindler @crazyclips_ Nope. Tasers aren’t shaped like that. Definitely a gun.

[Sean NW @headscratching]

@LeejCrypto @MarkMShindler @crazyclips_ Nope. No taser shaped like that. Definitely a gun, likely a Glock 19 by the shape.

[Sean NW @headscratching]

@USANumberOne_ @crazyclips_ (I was responding to those below since multiple people suggested it was a taser. OP is absolutely correct. Terrible police procedure and a much higher safety risk than the runner poses in this moment.)

[Sean NW @headscratching]

@USANumberOne_ @crazyclips_ NOT a taser. Virtually all modern tasers are a fluorescent color (usually yellow in the US or have a yellow patch in front of the trigger guard). The biggest giveaways are the slide and trigger guard. There are no tasers shaped like that. It’s a gun. Looks like a Glock 19 to me.

As a postscript: our minds fight to protect us from evidence suggesting we’ve done the wrong thing. We can’t see ourselves as the bad guy. Those brave enough to reexamine their choices are rare. Most continue to drink the Kool-Aid because their mental health requires them to. 5/5

Here’s a question that has gone viral and my answer below… (1/5)

[Vatnik Soup @P_Kallioniemi]

I understand the mass protests happening in the US right now, but why didn’t people just vote for the other candidate back in November 2024? I feel like that would’ve saved everyone a lot of hassle.

It’s both incredibly brilliant and evil. Someone can get elected by lying and selling easy answers to invented problems, then do whatever they want because they are experts at gaslighting and selling ongoing fear. It is a well-constructed trap sprung on unsuspecting people. 4/5
