God I love Derry Girls. It's about time for a rewatch
Yikes. I'd rather get arrested than hold that banner
And when Biden goes around congress to fund the genocide, what then? We all know republicans are borderline fascists- there's honestly no point in calling a spade a spade since republicans will never listen to reason anyway (and many of them are in a death cult). But democrats claim to be better than republicans, so obviously when they do shitty things, they get held to higher standards. When Ronald fucking Reagan is tougher on Israel than Biden, there's an issue here. Hell, even Obama vetoed UN resolutions more than republicans. Reagan, in contrast, allowed 21 UN resolutions against Israel to pass. It should be clear as day that comparing Biden to Reagan screams "get higher standards", but it seems like a huge swath of democratic voters are either too comfortable in their life to care about blood being on their hands (mixed with post 9/11 anti-arab racism) or they feel like they have a gun to their head in the form of another trump presidency.
You can't reason with republicans about this because they literally need the genocide to happen to bring about the end times (and also a mix of white-supremacy/christofascist fueled anti-arab racism). It's Biden who isn't distancing himself enough from what we collectively thought was a bar only republicans and literal fascists would fall to.
He should do something about that.
You only try epilating your asshole once.
What, are liberals not willing to fight (physically) to get their democracy back from a dictatorship?
Everyone knows the true test of a person's character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don't look on my kitchen countertop- it's full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)
If transportation is necessary, find ways to mitigate emissions as best as possible. If emissions are unavoidable, use the thing with least emissions (small-tired lightweight vehicles) until you research a solution to a tire material that isn’t harmful (which is being worked on I think). Busses mitigate a dozen or two cars. Local rail mitigates a few busses and a few hundred cars. Essentially, personal vehicles should be small and lightweight, and essential mass transit or city services should be large enough to serve an entire area.
Breathing in Micro-rubber/micro-plastics from disintegrating car tires isn’t fixed at all by electrification.
I can also hear ICE cars approach from behind when I’m cycling, but that isn’t the case with electric vehicles (which might be using “autopilot” and can’t see me on the road). I’m not sure if that whirring sound is present outside of low speeds, but I certainly can’t hear it with wind crossing my ears. Sometimes tire noise is audible, but not always.
On the other hand, ICE drivers are more likely to intentionally try to hit me soooo
The point of protests in general is disruption. Disneyland had to shut down for a bit because of protesters too. Both airports and theme parks bring in a lot of money, so that’s why places like that are often targets of protests, because standing in a park with signs only serves to get you ignored, but if you restrict the flow of money, people in power are more likely to listen. An extension of this is protesting on highways and bridges- it stops the flow of money to any number of businesses for as long as traffic can’t get through.
