That slop doesn’t work on us, but there are an alarming number of people who see content and just agree with it. No critical thinking whatsoever. I used to think that was just the Boomers and maybe some jaded Gen X folk; but the mass-dependency on generative AI showed me that Gen Z and Millenials are just as susceptible.
wow that thumbnail is disgusting. 10 fucking hours of this garbage!? and this is “popular” content… which supposedly means people actually watch this.
Quick callout to all the people who nodded along to stuff like this for the last 3 years; then whine about marginalized folks being “so political” about ongoing genocides. </3
I fully share the “burn it down” sentiment. Trans men get beaten for doing exactly this. A trans man was beaten for using the women’s restroom because it was the only one with a toilet..
I know the trans-masc community knows not to put themselves in danger for this. No one’s going to “prove” anyone wrong. All that will happen is the people who want trans people dead will get trans people dead.
They burned medical supplies. They literally incinerated them. Disgusting.
Why would we want people to read? Sensational headlines are far more compelling. The body of an article? That’s just to legitimize our opinions. How else do we set ourselves apart from the hundreds of thousands of other opinion makers on mainstream social media?
maybe show some respect to this man who got out of his house and tried something. We don’t know how he voted. We don’t know what this man believed, besides that he was rightfully disgusted by the Epstein Files. Lots of people disagree with their parents; like, y’know, the killers behind the last two big assassinations.
That would be fraud. I’m sure it happens, and it’s going to be hard to prove it did. This whole system is undoubtedly rotten, and I’m not excusing any part of it.
After 7 years without any payment, most debt including medical debt and standard loans are discharged. The non-payment is key. Even sending a cent will restart the obligation to that debt
Gonna say the thing: IDGAF if kids see porn online. I’d far prefer children explore pornography and learn what they are and are not comfortable with; rather than risk being exploited by less-naive children or adults. Open access to porn is the harm reduction. They are images on a screen.
Let’s not pretend that today’s adults never saw porn growing up. I, a Gen Z kid, saw porn at young ages. There are reasons I am “off” in the head but none of them have to do with porn; and many of them have to do from forces who, among other things, push the purity culture narrative. This is the exact same over-dramatic messaging as the USA’s War on Drugs or its “Satanic Panic”—both of which source from purity culture and both of which have harmed significantly more kids than what they hoped regulate.
She is accused of knowingly encouraging minors to skip school, disrupt campus activities, and make threats.
Hmm… what might those threats be?
Chollet told students she supported the walkout, praised those participating and indicated a group of adults would join them.
okaaaaay
Her comments, officers wrote, appeared to influence students who later made threats of vandalism and violence toward a specific individual.
Sounds like she’s the next Larry Bushart (a man arrested making FaceBook posts mocking Charlie Kirk; who officers allege distressed local residents of a nearby school).
Etsy knows their power.
It’s very disappointing how far removed from reality American politicians with only a few exceptions are.
They’re not ignorant. She’s not ignorant. Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State under Obama, and occupying Israel (“America’s greatest ally”) was brutalizing Palestinians during that administration, too. She absolutely knows what’s been going on.
Statements like Hillary Clinton’s are meant to make Palestinian support seem infantile to the public, because pro-Israeli folks Know they’ve lost control of the narrative. Israel and its supporters can’t beat the facts, so they’re making absurdist claims like these to discredit their opposition. Don’t get cocky, though. This is a page exactly out of the Trump campaign’s playbook, And it worked for his campaign. Our fight doesn’t end until Israel does.
USAmericans are living in turmoil, struggling to makes ends meet; We see headlines like this, and then we see our representatives—Democrat representatives—sit around. I’m aware this order is illegal, and maybe it would be “pointless” to reiterate that; but maybe it wouldn’t. Maybe restating the president can’t take control of elections would actually persuade enough of the Supreme Court to tell Trump to ask Congress. Maybe a few defectors would join Democrats in refusing to give Trump that control. What else are our representatives going to be doing? Attending lobbyist parties?
This is why so many USA folks are bitter and jaded about our nation, the Democratic Party, and voting in general. We have seen resistance efforts against ICE, especially now in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We’ve seen lawyers and civil rights activists assemble to assist marginalized groups. Soup kitchens and food pantries continue to get essential support, even during this economic recession. During the shutdown, while SNAP benefits were illegally withheld, even restaurants were offering free meals to SNAP recipients. And not one bit of this was thanks to the so-called opposition party. People with local businesses or full-time jobs—people with family members to care for—are taking on this effort; and the vast majority of the folks making $174,000 a year in their political representative job aren’t involved beyond showing up to their cushy office, walking into the chamber, and pressing the “No” button that they know won’t stop anything. Then, when that vote would have power, they give the All-Clear to the fascists…all three times now.
Not one member of the Senate even requested the “Big Beautiful Bill” be read out in full—a procedure which likely would have delayed the bill by months. Introducing the bill by name alone requires unanimous consent; and Republicans got it. Again and again we watch as limp-spined Democrats follow their geriatric delulu leader Schumer, and their followers yell at everyone who criticizes them—pro-Palestine protestors; Newsom critics; those calling for resistance—It’s agonizing.
