The other irony (aside from the obvious “some people only give a shit about the selves and somehow want YOU to give a shit about them, too, when they won’t do the same for your rights” bit) is that nearly all debates over human rights (whether they should or should not exist for each specific group in question) don’t actually impede any efforts to reduce prices, and often bring MORE inclusive is BETTER for the economy, resulting in lower costs of living for everyone.

Gas & eggs don’t get cheaper when you legislatively attack trans people, or anyone that isn’t white.

oh sorry, i didn't realize gas prices were more important than our human rights. my bad.

Sobering

You are archive glomming. Just skimming through looking at the cool shit someone posted.

And you get to a point somewhere in 2020…and it just stops. No, I'm moving on to other pursuits. Or I just don't have time/real life got in the way.

And you really hope it was one of those reasons.

COVID cut a swath that we don't truly recognize. We aren't far enough away from it to see the scar. We've still got bruising and swelling around the wound site.

This sour cream boomer is EXACTLY why everyone else hates white people, and for good fucking reason.

Fuck this guy and everyone else like him. Fuck them all in the ass with a cactus.

They will burn this shit down before they allow us to shine. White ppl are weak and fragile. Yep I said it

My Testimony of a Sobering Life in Christ

Life is ups and downs. Do good. Do bad. You run into the ills of life somewhere along the road. But those of us who believe in Jesus and turn to do his commandments gain a faithful friend who helps us as we struggle with living. He faithfully promises, “call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory” (Psalms 50:15), in Isaiah 46 verse 4 “I will sustain you…

Citizens United took away any semblance of US democracy representing the people. It gave “rights” to businesses that were ever intended only for individual people. It gave unlimited spending to these businesses as “people” for political gain. It took away all democratic power that the actual population help previously.

Citizens United forged a plutocracy from the struggling husk of democracy that came before.

The functionality of the entire system changed with Citizens United.

Billionaires buy what they want. Foreign countries interfere. Dark money dominates. Russia has massive influence and control over Republicans.

Good faith is losing to unlimited campaign donations and PAC money.

The supervillain President has used Citizens United to harness the billionaire class.

Just something that popped into my brain I thought I’d post in the void.

A new way to know that conservatives are always full of shit and every word out of their mouths is either a lie, a confession, or both: they know exactly what it means to defund things they don’t like, and how to most effectively do it to ensure it crushes whatever they don’t want. They just claim ignorance when something they want is on the chopping block.

The IRS? Defund that shit so they can’t enforce tax laws!

Public schools? Defund that shit to keep the base uneducated and gullible while also getting to selectively choose curricula and “acceptable topics” in the private schools they pay off. (Translation: no evolution, no slavery, no gay rights, no women’s suffrage, etc., taught to their children, but absolutely Christianity taught to them.)

The EPA? Defund that shit so they can make even more dark money from their worst and most corrupt donor companies like OPEC.

There are obviously way more examples, but just wanted to throw this out there as yet another reason to NEVER vote for a Republican. They don’t give a shit about anyone else but themselves and they can never be trusted.

At least voting progressive means there’s a CHANCE you would get a decent human.

Guys i’ve found a way to make it through the loneliness!!! substance abuse

Oh but such arrogance is also completely on-brand for the US. It 100% tracks, you could make the claim about the audacity and insanity of morons in and from the US without any context and I’d still be saying exactly this same message.

Lil’ Lindsey is wading deep into the “fuck around and find out” waters without a floatation device.

The arrogance of Americans in thinking that you have so much unlimited power that you can just turn the entire world against you and come out unscathed is incredible and so completely insane.

It's Sobering

By Daniel Paiz Word vomit is sometimes what a writer or poet calls the process of getting everything out of one’s head and innards and seeing what’s what. That is partially what is going to be read below, but it’s also a slew of thoughts and reactions as well. Cathartic is the process of writing. Whether it’s in poetic form, rhyming away like an emcee who hasn’t unboxed a mic, or it’s a few…

As if 2024 wasn’t already off to a bad enough start… now there’s a double whammy of cicadas that only occurs once every 221 years!

Plagues of locusts descends on the U.S., I wonder if the timing is relevant at all…?

The phrase is missing two words to be accurate: “for fascism.” Otherwise it’s just domestic terrorism AND sedition.

It was absolutely a Day of Love for Fascism.

Call it Domestic Terrorism!
