I want to feel vindicated. SA + Legal Fund

I’m losing my motivation and drive everyday. I would love to feel a sense of community. This has not been reliable in my reality.

Trump survived. Here's what will happen.

Every media, news outlet will be showing this photo. Not of a convicted felon who was impeached, who summoned violent terrorists to the white house, who sexually assaulted many women, but of a survivor, a hero.

And Trump will win 2024. The Alt Right and his MAGA supporters will see this and be more motivated than ever to vote Trump. Centrists will see this and think "the left is so much more extreme than the right" and vote Trump. Fuck, even liberals, after seeing Bidens disastrous debate performance might vote trump. In their eyes, he's a survivor now, he's strong now, he's worthy now. If you don't believe me, wait and see the top comments of news articles, the Reddit posts, the twitter quote tweets.

It isn't if Trump wins, it's when Trump wins, Ukraine is Fucked. Palestine is extra Fucked. And of course, America is absolutely Fucked.

I don't like Biden, but Americans have to remember: you live in a two-party system.

It is Biden or Trump.

And I'd much much rather an old husk of a man that has done so much good for trans rights, social policies, and human rights in general, than Trump. Yes, Biden has sent aids to Israel. Do you think Trump won't do the same? Do you think Trump won't do worse?

"Vote for a third party, they're both awful" you might say. Come on, be realistic. This is about holding the line against fascism. It is going to be way WAY easier to change the system when you're up against milk toast Joe than an actual dictator. So,

For the love of god, vote Biden in Novermber.

For fucks sake don’t vote 3rd party.

I would LOVE to not have a 2 party system. It’s a cancer on our country and we need to take action to dismantle it, but just pretending like the bad thing already doesn’t exist anymore and making decisions based on that is a TERRIBLE idea. It won’t change shit and it’ll just prevent us from making actual headway. Trump will win if Kamala doesn’t, that’s the system we live in, the notion that that 200 year old monster of a problem is gonna change in 100 days is absolutely absurd. So let’s just establish that before going any further.

I see people all the time saying to vote 3rd party because “Kamala is just as bad as Trump, democrats just wanna LOOK progressive.” (And before that it was Biden but you get my gist.) because of Biden’s deplorable refusal to stop arming Israel. Respectfully, no tf she’s not, even by just a hair. Kamala isn’t the one with a laundry list of straight up legal atrocities she’s publicly planning to commit if she wins. Being genuinely scared of project 2025 and worrying about ourselves because of that isn’t proof that someone calling for a free Palestine is performative. Genuinely, GENUINELY, what the hell do you think is gonna happen to Palestine if Trump wins? Letting our own country possibly be set back several steps and many of our own citizens’ lives be destroyed to “take a stand” for Palestine when it won’t do shit to help them is just as performative. Actually it’s infinitely MORE performative.

I’m genuinely getting so angry and upset at the comments and dms I’m receiving on Instagram being like “oh so when musicians and actors endorse Kamala it’s fine but when the president of the Fia endorses Trump it’s a problem?”

Like wow. It’s almost as if all art is a reflection of current events and culture as well as the feeling regarding them and can in fact be used as an act of protest. It’s crazy that any artist would express opinions about a current world shifting political event!

Like the thing you have to consider here is that Muhammad Ben Sulayem has consistently made a point to highlight that “politics have no place in this sport.” He has gone far enough to threaten to punish Lewis Hamilton for speaking out about BLM and also threatened Seb for speaking out about Pride. It’s also worth noting that the artists who endorsed Kamala are separate from the corporate entities and are speaking as individuals. MBS is speaking while he is the acting president of the FIA, an organization that represents ever y race creed and religion of the drivers. By endorsing Donald Trump, a rapist fascist and war criminal, and by posting a photo of them shaking hands in front of the McLaren Logo he has isolated his drivers! He has acted out in representation of the fia! He cannot separate himself from his role as FIA president because as long as he is on track or in the paddock he must be that.

Obviously this is a deeply complicated issue but acting as if MBS suddenly bring politics into the sport he has time and time again insisted “has no place in politics” isn’t deeply selfish, irresponsible and as if it hasn’t spit on everything some of the drivers, namely Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have taken stands for. It’s very clear that politics are only allowed when it benefits his agenda but it’s very, very disappointing.

Every time Ludinus opens his mouth, this is all I hear

📣 And this muthafucka 📣

That is what Kamala wanted to say, but she's a Black woman, and the expectations of decorum and professionalism are much higher for her than Trump.

Numerous instances during the debate, Trump spoke over the muted microphone 🎤. And the moderators allowed him multiple times to address the question he PREFERRED to address rather than the question posed him.

They did not extend that same privilege to Kamala.

Women are expected to concede space to men. To center their grievances over our own. And, for Black women, there is an even bigger expectation that we are subservient to everyone else.

Any Black professional woman of a certain age knew and felt that moment when Kamala adjusted her strategy.

📣 She couldn't cut up in front of the white folk. 📣

She quieted & allowed the moderators to do their job because if she had broken character, like Trump was permitted to, she would have become the Angry Black Woman.

I know that feeling so very well.

Plenty of times, I have been the smartest and most competent person in the room, yet all the white folk deferred to the loud, boisterous white man with the Ivy League degrees. They'd blame "facial expressions" or "defensiveness" as reasons why I couldn't lead. No substantial criticism of my work; just that I was "difficult" to work with because I made them uncomfortable with my competency.

A white man can be assertive. A white man can look you in the eye. A white man can grasp your hand firmly in a handshake. A white man can command a room. A white man can claim the seat at the head of the table.

But, a Black woman who exhibits such behavior is difficult to work with because she refuses to play into white gender roles.

Did anyone else catch when Trump even said, "quiet woman" or something like that?

I love that moment when white men reveal their fear. Their vulnerability and insecurity.

The reason white men hate Black women so much is that they know the stereotype they created for us is actually the archetype of the *men* they aspire to be.

Not only could Kamala meet his energy, she would have done it in a far more entertaining way, but she chose not to. And that was purposeful.

I think it’s something unique to Black Gen X women.

Our parents were the kids of the Jim Crow Era. Our parents attended segregated schools. Our parents sat at the back of the bus.

Our grandparents survived race riots. They survived lynchings and ethnic cleansing of entire Black communities.

So, we carry their scars. Like they were fresh to us.

But, we were going to school in the 70s/80s/90s when schools are desegregated, but there were still policies and laws that discriminated against women & girls.

So, we grew up punching little boys just so we could play on the tetherball, too.

And as a little Black girl, I punched a whole helluva lot of white boys who got in my way of the tetherball.

Two all 2 people who follow my tumblr

GUYS THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT

If you’re of voting age in the US and not registered, PLEASE REGISTER NOW!

I’m endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

The fact that’s it’s even close makes me sick to my stomach.

You can disagree with Harris or Biden or their administration on a lot of things, but not seeing that she is clearly the better option is scary.

Queer people’s lives depend on this.

If you care about us, PLEASE VOTE

If you are mad at Harris for not stopping the genoc1de, remember that Trump will absolutely not stop it either and that he’s a moron who no one respects. I’d rather have a g3nocide overseas and have queer people (and poor people, women, poc) in the US protected than have a g3nocide overseas and not have them protected.

And if you say “well Roe v Wade overturned and other conservative laws happened under Biden” Remember this was the CONSERVATIVE supreme court that did this. And another Trump term will make the court even worse for decades. The implications of this are huge.

People are on the fence, it’s simple. If you care about your queer, disabled, poc, poor, female loved ones VOTE HARRIS. If you’re centrist and won’t vote because you don’t care you’re a pushover and a coward. If you’re farther left and think she isn’t left enough, yes you have a point but this is all we have, PLEASE use your brain and stop being chronically online and self impressed.

I don’t care if I lose followers for this at this point, I’m just out here doing everything I can, not to panic and want to hide who I am. A lot of people don’t have the options to move to another state let alone country and we just want to live.

I’m lucky to live in a very safe state but I’m still terrified.

Please care about us. Please vote.

It's really hitting me now more than ever that the gods are FAMILY. They loved each other so much. And their greatest divide came because some of them didn't see their creations, who had their own families that they loved just as deeply, as worthy of the same protections they had. It's an absolutely incisive example of "fuck you, got mine". The dehumanization of "there are those who matter and those who do not" wasn't a lie in the slightest—we know from canon that Asmodeus really believes it. It's at the heart of who he is and what he wants.

The evil embodied by Asmodeus and the Betrayers is the same evil that leads to racism, religious persecution, exploitation of labor, colonialism, genocide, and even just garden variety being-a-dick. It's the same evil that underlies the far-right ideology poisoning societies around the world. It's a capacity for evil that, whether we want to face it or not, lies within all of us. And it's the evil that tears apart the family of the gods themselves, just as it tears apart families in the real world. The Prime Deities are not mortal, but still see mortals as those who matter. The Betrayers do not, and their love for family won't overcome that. It's heartbreaking because it's so potently real.

This is a must read article full of quotes from 91 prominent people, who know Trump well, including many Republicans who worked with him. This is a gift🎁link, so you can read the entire article. Below are some excerpts and quotes.

In any election, it’s hard to know whose word to trust. And in a polarized country, many Americans distrust any information that comes from the other side of the political divide. That’s why the criticism of Donald Trump by those who served with him in the White House and by members of his own party is so striking. Dozens of people who know him well, including the 91 listed here, have raised alarms about his character and fitness for office — his family and friends, world leaders and business associates, his fellow conservatives and his political appointees — even though they had nothing to gain from doing so. Some have even spoken out at the expense of their own careers or political interests. The New York Times editorial board has made its case that Mr. Trump is unfit to lead. But the strongest case against him may come from his own people. For those Americans who are still tempted to return him to the presidency or to not vote in November, it is worth considering the assessment of Mr. Trump by those who have seen him up close.

These are just 15 of the 91 quotes. You can use the gift link above to see the other 76 quotes, and to see expanded versions of each quote.

So... while I understand your approach, and believe that the prohibitions/ screening questions are not all reasonable:

Working in the medical industry has taught me a few important things: You cannot test for everything, and no test is perfect.

You can have HIV+ without knowing for many years (admitedly therefore damning the time limit, but it is uncommon), so one does not necessarily know that they have HIV.

In addition, the screening is in place more for the fact that.... there are a lot of diseases, they cannot test for all of them, so they do their best to lower likelyhoods.

The Bad Blood issue was increadibly serious.

If you disagree with the screening questions, lodge complaints, try to make it more transparent, lobby, etc.

Do not lie on medical questionnaires. Please.

anal sex is not the only way to contract HIV

screening questions should not exclude anyone and should highlight only the need to test the blood for that thing

literally your whole argument fell apart immediately "one does not necessarily know they have HIV". well quite. and the screening questions aren't going to eliminate it either are they. unless you propose only taking blood from virgins? no? then it remains bullshit

"there are a lot of diseases" yeah. duh. no shit. which is why the screening questions highlight which to test for and not outright exclude the entire population on a what-if

one of my exes is HIV+. he got it from a woman. who would not have been excluded by this oh-so-holy screening. funny ol' world innit

she - you know, the HIV+ straight woman with no tattoos? her? - wasn't excluded and could give blood (she didn't know she was HIV+)

you know who is excluded? and still, in fact forever, technically cannot give blood? me, the verifiably (many times over verified) HIV- person. because I have tattoos and have had sex with MSM and, in the past, IV drug users.

lie.

don’t worry guys i have eurovision covered in here

Earthspark has its issues even before season 2. But I will never say its diverse cast is one of those issues. However, I have some words for anyone who does.

[northlt03]

So crazy to me that people who support a rapist, orange, idiotic, old, racist criminal are the ones saying "We can disagree on politics."

Bc no tf we can't??? Yes, I will hate you forever if you support that man, based on your political opinions it is very clear you're a deeply evil person.

Disagreements in any kind of relationship, be it platonic, familial or romantic, should be about pineapple on pizza (yes it tastes very good) or ice cream flavors (i love all except for mint chocolate chip im sorry), not about supporting a maniacal moron.

In light of recent political events

I wholey believe that Lucien would be the most vocal out of the three Tealeaves
