i’m not trans so how i typically handle things is just not inserting myself into trans issues. it’s actually very easy! and if they pop up anyway i just say okay i’m supportive so i’ll follow their lead! also very easy! it seems like it’s a lot more work to be shitty to them!

when i was a kid our house was broken into twice and they only stole electronics like the vcr and nintendo, and i thought maybe they were doing it to build a giant robot, which is still to this day much more likely than the cops actually caring about your property

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism

this might’ve been true even 5-10 years ago, but you can’t make a bogeyman out of a thing people can see with their own eyes. now that there are highly visible dem socialists doing good work, the word isn’t scary anymore. the people that’ll actually need to adjust their strategy are the republicans.

If I were a so-called Democratic Socialist I would keep the policies according to when and where I was running but drop the word socialist.

i refuse to read theory because i also just refuse to read but i assume that the joint democrat-republican red scare we are getting about the dsa really is a predictable step in capital defending itself against its own excesses

9 months ago. Quite simply, he had never imagined that a person could see him & immediately clock him as unsafe & a danger & the enemy because regardless of how many red flags he emanated, the white people around him never did. All the way up until he was one seat away from the senate.

Graham Platner tells Tommy Vietor that while his response to many of his old Reddit posts was “oh god,” he stands behind his question about “why Black people don’t tip” because he was legitimately curious. And, of course he has a Black friend who is also a bartender. What. The. Fuck.
