Yeah, this is kinda ridiculous. If electing Harris would have saved a single Palestinian life, it would've been the correct choice.

We are literally watching your accelerationist theory fall apart at this very moment and you still defend it. This is the result you wanted, right? Democrats got their ass handed to them last November so they were forced to admit their mistakes and began pushing their platform further left and taking stronger stances against Republicans and genocide. Right? Surely by now your theory of voting for the worse outcome should have taught them the correct lesson? You aren't just a useful tool to enable fascism with no upside? Right??

You can be worse or better about genocide, it's unequivocally false to say that all genocides are equal. There was a choice. We could have had less killing or more.

And that's just from the respective platforms. I don't think people realize the extent to which Republicans do not listen to or care about their voters. We had an opportunity to put Harris in office and then berate the shit out of her the entire term to be better. That's not an option anymore. We are very much locked in to whatever braindead idea some billionaire spoons Trump.

Republicans were like, do these crazy things or we'll cut your funding. Harvard said no. This comes after Columbia mostly acquiesced to similar demands.

I'm not even sure what a purity test is anymore... I've only seen it in defense of transphobia. I have no power over Colbert's choice of jokes. I can only criticize bigotry where I see it.

I've had tough conversations about transphobia with other trans people, supportive family members, friends... literal, personal, allies and I'm sill critical of them sometimes. Why the fuck should I give Colbert, with a huge megaphone and audience, a free pass?

Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.

Slightly more likely than rolling two sixes.

It's a reference to cocaine use: https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/drug-alcohol-slang/

No, they see us as criminals and will deny every right they can, marriage, public service, equal treatment under the law, medical insurance/medication, freedom of association, speech, and even our right to exist. The point is to criminalize and erase our existence from public life.

Let's be clear here: this was not a 'customer', this was a drug addict who died due to their drug addiction. If that sentence makes you feel any less sympathy for them or their family, you can go fuck yourself.

Last time I checked a moving charge created a magnetic field, not a wave. And you determine the curl, not the rotation. You didn't remember

That's exactly how I feel! I think it's compounded by living in a rural area. I want to fit in not only because that's my childhood dream but also for a sense of safety. I'm not sure what the answer is either. Maybe this is just a stage of transitioning or maybe it's possible to form strong bonds with allies, eventually, the way it seemed to feel easier with queer people before. I just know that I feel lonely at the moment and the queer community as a whole has seemed more distant to me.
