listen my dear and lovely friends,

if you hate james potter, that is your prerogative and well within your right to do! (wack but i’m a realist and can recognize he’s not everybody’s bread and butter) but if you are coming to me, a self-established james potter girlie, to talk about your dislike– hate even– i simply have nothing to say. i am sorry but this is a james potter hate free zone. as a character, as a person, as an idea, as a blob in people’s heads, he’s done nothing wrong ever. this is my official stance.

this message has been tumblr user otrtbs approved. <3

#like yeah differing opinions make the world go round #but have you considered im making an echo chamber of james potter lovers here???#nat speaks #ramblings #if i was president this would be my presidential statement #imagine me drafting this from the oval office #if i was the pope imagine i am saying this from the chair of st. peter or whatever #in reality i am just a girl blogging from class #bYE

When mainstream media says shit like “and Biden’s still not polling well even when the fate of democracy is on the line” I roll my eyes so fucking hard I’m surprised they haven’t fallen out of my head

When the choice is between two fascists we have already lost democracy. All that remains is a farce. But y’all seem to forget that the choice does not have to be between two fascists, you’re just too scared and too comfortable to make the change. And you’ll continue to doom us all until you start to actually hold these people accountable.

#us politics #us presidential election #genocide joe #genuinely y’all just gotta fucking hold these people accountable and rise up #say no to fascism #insane how that’s a controversial statement

I can't find my original post considering it's a year or two old at this point but when I said "the most horrifying thing is when no matter wherever in the world something awful happens you look into it and the US is at least partly responsible", I was explicitly referring to how, because the Republic of Turkey is a member of NATO, the US has a vested international interest in ensuring that the Armenian genocide is downplayed, ignored, dismissed etc. which, given the scope of the US empire, means it has all the tools necessary to do so.

#i dont care about any resolutions by the us government or presidential statements referring to it as a genocide because #nothing materially has ever changed with regards to the us' relationship with turkey regardless

TikTok set to be banned in the US after losing appeal

#was the culmination of extensive #bipartisan action by the Congress and by successive presidents #carefully crafted to deal only with control by a foreign adversary #and it was part of a broader effort to counter a well-substantiated national security threat posed by the PRC (People's Republic of China).#But TikTok said it was not the end of its legal fight.#a TikTok spokesperson said in a statement.#They added that the law was based on #and a ban would censor US citizens.#Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 US Presidential Election may also present a lifeline for the app.#Despite unsuccessfully attempting to ban TikTok during his first term in 2020 #he said in the run-up to the November elections he would not allow the ban on TikTok to take effect.#When and why could the US ban TikTok?#Is TikTok really a danger to the West?#Trump will be inaugurated on 20 January - the day after the law says TikTok must be be banned or sold.#However #it remains to be seen whether he will follow through on his pre-election vow.#Professor James Grimmelmann of Cornell University said the president-elect would be “swimming upstream to give TikTok a reprieve”.#TikTok's bid to overturn a law which would see it banned or sold in the US from early 2025 has been rejected.#The social media company had hoped a federal appeals court would agree with its argument that the law was unconstitutional because it repre #But the court upheld the law #which it said .#TikTok says it will now take its fight to the US Supreme Court #the country's highest legal authority.#The US wants TikTok sold or banned because of what it says are its owners links to the Chinese state - links TikTok and parent company Byte #The court agreed the law was The Supreme Court has an established historical record of protecting Americans' right to free speech #and we expect they will do just that on this important constitutional issue #inaccurate #flawed and hypothetical informationThe anti-China sentiment in the US Congress is very strong #so there are now substantial constituencies in both parties that want TikTok to be restricted from the US market #" he told BBC News.

Every time I see someone say that the Harris campaign should’ve centered men more and it’s women’s fault for alienating them and driving them to the right it makes me wish men genuinely did face the levels of misandry they claim is causing this “loneliness epidemic”

#us politics #politics #it’s just a blatantly misogynist statement #it makes me want to scream #we handhold men through everything #the male loneliness epidemic is a result of how men are socialized in such a way where they either have acquaintances or lovers #their friendships with other men rarely have depth or emotional intimacy #and when women offer them this they interpret it as romantic overtures #because they are unable to recognize emotional intimacy as a basic tenet of a deeper friendship #obligatory not all men but christ enough of them for it to tip a damn presidential election #also obligatory terfs fuck off

I just keep thinking about august when I had 2 nonbinary kids talking to me about how scared they were. One told me she might have to go back into the closet for safety.

#I was marveling about how they figured out stuff so early. they knew they were queer and had words to describe themselves so young #Pansexual and nonbinary weren't really talked about when I was their age. And my identities overlapped cishetness enough no one bullied me #But what's the fucking point of knowing yourself earlier if it just paints a target on your back when you own it?!#Queerness is allowed to flower one moment and is ripped out the next #It broke my FUCKING heart when one kid told me about how they had to consider going back in the closet #And I didn't know what to say. Other than 'you're not a [AGAB] it's like saying you're a giraffe. It's not you'#Which is important for them to hear #But in the back of my mind I'm thinking about how they /would/ be safer if they weren't openly queer #But they should be allowed to get to live queerly before they're an adult #I got to know those two more than the other queer kids I've had and man. The joy and sorrow.#I worry about those kids so much. But it's really me worrying about thousands of kids like them.#I wish I could hug them and protect them #And [redacted] [redacted] with my bare hands 🪦#And just the one telling me they're not allowed out of the house on election night #Like I know a lot of groups are being effected and believe me my heart breaks in so many different directions #But there's something about having the children whom I'm directly supposed to keep safe come up to me and tell me they're terrified #And I can't disarm the fear like I can with other stuff #it's not a bumblebee that I can explain is non-aggressive. I cant suggest sheltering in a basement like w a tornado #Mostly I can say 'yes this is dangerous BUT here's how to keep yourself safe'#But I don't have a comforting second statement for these kids. I don't know what will keep them safe #elections #election 2024 #2024 presidential election

🥲

#the background to this is more involved than I’d expected #apparently the bar on federal government copyright only dates to the 1895 Printing Act #which was passed to stop the compiler of these volumes of presidential statements—James Richardson—from asserting copyright in the thing #but were *TR's* presidential statements uncopyrightable as of 1907?#not under the 1895 Act unless published by the government during his time in office—§52 only bars copyright in government publications #so the 1895 Act precludes e.g. copyright in the president’s messages to Congress (§73) and veto messages (by operation of Art. I § 7 cl. 2)#but—presumably—not privately published (i.e. reported) or unpublished presidential statements #(this was before the 1978 Presidential Records Act asserted government ownership over the president’s records)#and presumably not under the government edicts doctrine either #unless the statements were made in the exercise or discharge of the president’s powers or duties #(e.g. commands as C-in-C or directions as CEO or communications with foreign governments)#but otherwise? political speeches? speeches to the public? statements made outside congressional sessions? probably not covered!#so! 🥲 in fact and not just sardonically

remember that community episode where britta was desperate to get attention and validation as a social justice protestor but she just spent the whole time spraying paint on a globe and kicking garbage cans. that’s roman’s s4 vibe but in exact reverse

#when you tweet (make hateful offensive statements) just to get ur crush’s (a presidential candidate’s) attention 🙊🙈#succession hbo

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

EDIT:

Ok fine, I spent 3 hours compiling sources for all of these, you can find that below the cut.

I'll give at least one link per subject area. There are of course many more sources to be read on these subject areas and no post could possibly give someone a full education on these subjects.

Biden and trans rights: https://www.hrc.org/resources/president-bidens-pro-lgbtq-timeline

Trump and trans rights: https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/trump-on-lgbtq-rights-rolling-back-protections-and-criminalizing-gender-nonconformity

The two sources above show how Biden has done a lot of work to promote trans rights, and how Trump did a lot of work to hurt trans rights.

Biden on abortion access: https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/08/politics/what-is-in-biden-abortion-executive-order/index.html

Trump on abortion access: https://apnews.com/article/abortion-trump-republican-presidential-election-2024-585faf025a1416d13d2fbc23da8d8637

Biden openly supports access to abortion and has taken steps to protect those rights at a federal level even after Roe v Wade was overturned. Trump, on the other hand, was the man who appointed the judges who helped overturn Roe v Wade and he openly brags about how proud he is of that decision. He also states that he believes individual states should have the final say in whether or not abortion is legal, and that he trusts them to "do the right thing", meaning he supports stronger abortion bans.

Biden on environmental reform: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/10/07/fact-sheet-president-biden-restores-protections-for-three-national-monuments-and-renews-american-leadership-to-steward-lands-waters-and-cultural-resources/

Trump on environmental reform: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html

Biden has made major steps forward for environmental reform. He has restored protections that Trump rolled back. He has enacted many executive orders and more to promote environmental protections, including rejoining the Paris Accords, which Trump withdrew the USA from. Trump is also well known for spreading conspiracy theories and lies about global climate change, calling it a "Chinese hoax".

Biden on healthcare and prescription reform: https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2023/06/09/biden-administration-announces-savings-43-prescription-drugs-part-cost-saving-measures-president-bidens-inflation-reduction-act.html

Trump on healthcare reform: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/07/politics/obamacare-health-insurance-ending-trump/index.html

I'm rolling healthcare and prescriptions and vaccines and public health all into one category here since they are related. Biden has lowered drug costs, expanded access to medicaid, and ACA enrollment has risen during his presidency. He has also made it so medical debt no longer applies to a person's credit score. He signed many executive orders during his first few weeks in office in order to get a handle on Trump's grievous mishandling of the COVID pandemic. Trump also wants to end the ACA. Trump is well known for refusing to wear a mask during the pandemic, encouraging the use of hydroxylchloroquine to "treat" COVID, and being openly anti-vaxx.

Biden on student loan forgiveness: https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/biden-harris-administration-announces-additional-77-billion-approved-student-debt-relief-160000-borrowers

Trump on student loan forgiveness: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamminsky/2024/06/20/trump-knocks-bidens-vile-student-loan-forgiveness-plans-suggests-reversal/

Trump wants to reverse the student loan forgiveness plans Biden has enacted. Biden has already forgiven billions of dollars in loans and continues to work towards forgiving more.

Infrastructure funding:

I'm putting these links next together because they are all about infrastructure.

In general, Trump's "achievements" for infrastructure were to destroy environmental protections to speed up projects. Many of his plans were ineffective due to the fact that he did not clearly outline where the money was going to come from, and he was unwilling to raise taxes to pay for the projects. He was unable (and unwilling) to pass a bipartisan infrastructure bill during his 4 years in office. He did sign a few disaster relief bills. He did not enthusiastically promote renewable energy infrastructure. He created "Infrastructure Weeks" that the federal government then failed to fund. Trump did not do nothing for infrastructure, but his no-tax stance and his dislike for renewable energy means the contributions he made to American infrastructure were not as much as he claimed they were, nor as much as they could have been. Basically, he made a lot of promises, and delivered on very few of them. He is not "against" infrastructure, but he's certainly against funding it.

Biden was able to pass that bipartisan bill after taking office. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan that Trump tried to prevent from passing during Biden's term contains concrete funding sources and step by step plans to rebuild America's infrastructure. If you want to read the plan, you can find it here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/build/guidebook/. Biden has done far more for American infrastructure than Trump did, most notably by actually getting the bipartisan bill through congress.

Biden on Racial Equity: https://www.npr.org/sections/president-biden-takes-office/2021/01/26/960725707/biden-aims-to-advance-racial-equity-with-executive-actions

Trump on Racial Equity: https://www.axios.com/2024/04/01/trump-reverse-racism-civil-rights https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-37230916

Trump's racist policies are loud and clear for everyone to hear. We all heard him call Mexicans "Drug dealers, criminals, rapists". We all watched as he enacted travel bans on people from majority-Muslim nations. Biden, on the other hand, has done quite a lot during his term to attempt to reconcile racism in this country, including reversing Trump's "Muslim ban" the first day he was in office.

Biden on DEI: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/06/25/executive-order-on-diversity-equity-inclusion-and-accessibility-in-the-federal-workforce/

Trump on DEI: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-tried-to-crush-the-dei-revolution-heres-how-he-might-finish-the-job/ar-BB1jg3gz

Biden supports DEI and has signed executive orders and passed laws that support DEI on the federal level. Trump absolutely hates DEI and wants to eradicate it.

Biden on criminal justice reform: https://time.com/6155084/biden-criminal-justice-reform/

Trump on criminal justice reform: https://www.vox.com/2020-presidential-election/21418911/donald-trump-crime-criminal-justice-policy-record https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/05/trumps-extreme-plans-crime/678502/

From pardons for non-violent marijuana convictions to reducing the federal government's reliance on private prisons, Biden has done a lot in four years to reform our criminal justice system on the federal level. Meanwhile, Trump has described himself as "tough on crime". He advocates for more policing, including "stop and frisk" activities. Ironically it's actually quite difficult to find sources about what Trump thinks about crime, because almost all of the search results are about his own crimes.

Biden on military support for Israel: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/biden-obama-divide-closely-support-israel-rcna127107

Trump on military support for Israel: https://www.vox.com/politics/353037/trump-gaza-israel-protests-biden-election-2024

Biden supports Israel financially and militarily and promotes holding Israel close. So did Trump. Trump was also very pro-Israel during his time in office and even moved the embassy to Jerusalem and declared Jerusalem the capitol of Israel, a move that inflamed attitudes in the region.

Biden on a ceasefire: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2024/06/05/gaza-israel-hamas-cease-fire-plan-biden/73967659007/

Trump on a ceasefire: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905

Trump has tried to be quiet on the issue but recently said he wants Israel to "finish the problem". He of course claims he could have prevented the whole problem. Trump also openly stated after Oct 7th that he would bar immigrants who support Hamas from the country and send in officers to American protests to arrest anyone supporting Hamas.

Biden meanwhile has been quietly urging Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire deal for months, including the most recent announcement earlier in June, though it seems as though that deal has finally fallen through as well.
