I came across an arrangement of words describing a movie as “The Purge but as a romcom” and made the mistake of googling the movie in question. One night a year people are allowed to have premarital sex???? Straight people are never beating the allegations. ANY of the allegations.

I hate that the obvious answer about WHY so many “leftists” “pro-democracy” and “populist” groups support racists is that they are filled with racist people who deny Black folks basic humanity. There’s no reason to frame a known racist white man winning as overcoming the “establishment”.

Friendships are a commitment too. A lot of people treat friendships like void fillers and even second fiddle for romantic relationships and wonder why they’re lacking in community. You don’t wanna sacrifice for folks. you don’t wanna do anything outside of for you…how is that community minded?

Homophobia and Transphobia are concrete signs you’re a fucking idiot that is way too involved in other people’s lives and you should get your own. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

It’s really important to understand that the criminal legal system in the U.S. already produced the infrastructure to make ICE possible. If we ever rid ourselves of ICE the way to make it harder to revive it will be destroying and defunding the institutions it has borrowed so much from
