#politics and this bullshit

[goldenpinof]

You don’t have to post this, but this one especially rubs me off the wrong way: https://x.com/nevieglow/status/1864838428958855396?s=46&t=-QxQRxgvl6A6N40VEbrE0A as well as others like “duh he doesn’t need to say this it’s obvious he’s joking”

sorry, i wanna answer.

between the lines of one phrase that sounded like a slap? can people be serious for a second, i'm literally begging. why do some phannies think that only Dan is being discriminated? people LIVE in those countries. and they still think dnp could go there, or to the neighbouring one. the fact that dnp can't find promoters or sponsors who are willing to risk isn't our problem. we're also not responsible for dnp's awful communication skills when it comes to addressing something. did they learn anything during ii and TBC dates? yes! was it enough to become better? not really. if some twitter phannies don't know the depth of this problem (including Dan's jokes about the 3rd world countries in 2023, mind you!), then they need to do their homework before saying some ignorant shit.

Dan could just wait and form a reply. he also could SAY that he is preparing a thorough reply about Asian countries. but he didn't do it. he decided to "no homo" as if it's funny by any means and we're expecting only clownery from them. can Dan treat all of us like people at least sometimes, without certain minorities begging and then pressing him if needed? *rhetorical question*

it's like we're hitting a wall again.

"it can mean two things at once". no, sweetie, if the person has been silent for months and LOVES to laugh everything off. and sometimes it backfires, like today. if it were for the 1st time, then sure, no big deal. but it's a pattern. so trying to understand what said minorities feel is the least people can do.

all of this doesn't erase the fact that i appreciate Dan finally explaining the situation. but he did it only because his "joke" backfired. i hope people realise that.

“My vote doesn’t matter (so I’m gonna sit it out/vote third party/put a write-in protest vote)!”

Unfriendly reminder that Al Gore only lost Florida (and subsequently the entire 2000 election) by only 537 votes. Your vote absolutely fucking matters.

If y’all really, truly don’t want Trump/Republicans back in control than you better get out and vote down the ballot, especially if you live in an even remotely purple/swing state.

The MAGA voters will absolutely get out and vote, don’t let them out-do you.

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.

My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.

We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!

You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.

Voting matters. The parties are not the same.

And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!

And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.

And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

If you didn't watch the debate, you didn't miss much, it's all the same as usual. But this was hands down the most hilarious moment.

I wish everyone in the US who didn't vote in the election a very fuck you

I'm literally on my knees, begging and sobbing for the Mandalorians to have a normal fucking government. The sequel here

What is the REAL reason they want to get rid of social security?

if you’re scared if you’re angry if you’re sad you have to stay alive. i love you

[thepiedcurrawong]

why are terfs all like "bodily autonomy!" and then they get pissed at people for trying to transition. seems kinda contradictory almost as if their ideals are built on irrational hatred rather than societal progress

[nando161mando]

And the few trans people that identify as and surround themselves with nazis and right wingers, typically are predators, and don't care about that because that is how their own "friends" see them as. And of course, they believe throwing everyone else to the Leopards to assure their own safety.

No bc what the fuck is this introduced OK bill (HB3084)??? Kids who pretend to be animals get kicked out of participating in school and extracurriculars? These people are so against fun and whimsy. Kids will roleplay critters and warrior cats. Maybe a kid wants to wear cat ears. It’s all harmless fun. What the hell. This is stupid and not okay! CALLING ANIMAL CONTROL ON THEM? HOW IS THIS NOT SATIRE!! Oklahoma is one of the worst ranked states in education, and THIS is what their government is worried about. Absolutely stupid. If you’re in OK tell your representatives that this is dumb and pressure them to vote against it.

Hello! I'm a teacher in Indiana, and things have been getting steadily more dire since I started teaching. Indiana is not a great place to teach because we have a GOP supermajority and, wow, do those guys hate public educators.

Anyway our attorney general (who I have no kind words for so I'll keep them to myself) has set up an "Education Transparency Form" so concerned members of the public can report "socialist indoctrination." He didn't bother to tell the department of education or schools that he was doing this.

Anyway, would you all do me the kind favor of spamming this thing?
