How the fuck is it legal to bet on elections?? The way gambling has warped the minds of young men (and so many others!!) is so sickening and such a disgusting way to look at the world

We're actively adding incentives to treat other people like cash grab opportunities and it's so dehumanizing. As long as people can bet on real world events that have real world repercussions, we're never going to achieve equity

If you want dems to have a chance at winning this one, you need to keep asking these questions and demanding real leadership. Directing hate towards the trans people who don't want to vote for this is doing the fascist's job.

You want us to vote for him? Get him to defend all our rights, to actually stand for the people expected to vote him into office. How the hell do you expect him to win votes by throwing his base out like yesterday's garbage??

Just waiting on the ADL to call out trump for his constant antisemitism- Oh, wait a minute, greenblatt has his nose so far up trump's ass, I don't think he heard him

On top of the fact that is all just playing into the fascist regime we're living under and their goals in reducing women to breeding objects for control Women are people! We fuck up and get angry and make mistakes and cause harm! Forcing us to be likeable justifies violence against us who are not

I pray for the day that women characters can be evil, murderous, and angry without needing a redemption arc or to be "likeable" We need to stop demanding that women, fictional or not, be as likeable as possible to the men around them (or writing them)

This post is unavailable.

This is why Promising Young Woman failed as a story, this is why Wuthering Heights 2026 sucks, why TLOU season 2 fucking sucked, like this need to cast women characters as flimsy fucking empty vessels to be likeable to men audiences is ruining so many stories

Freshman year I was raped after a guy plied me with alcohol. It was the first time I had sex. I spent the rest of that semester having to be around that guy who pursued my sorta-friend (consensually as far as I could tell) and we would party with his friend group

And some of them don't even recognize what they have committed rape, because it's so normalized in our society. Why should they worry about being sexual pests when they see so many men have success and power, while also being predators?

I thought it was the college experience to get so drunk I couldn't walk straight and then be sexually assaulted. I thought it was a rite of passage I spent the rest of the year in a stupor, drunk and high, barely making it to class, and I dropped out at the end of the year

I continued making risky decisions, continued putting myself in danger, because I didn't think I was worthy of justice. I couldn't even process it as rape until years later. Rapists know they can get away with it. They've been shown that they're above consequences again and again

The economy is so fucked, I cannot believe I have to make my own breakfast instead of my househusband who's forced to work on a Sunday

The time to push candidates toward more progressive policies is NOT after they get in office. It’s before. We have to look out for everybody. That may include a type of person that is not in your life!

A double tap airstrike is exactly what happens towards the end of the Hunger Games trilogy and is the climax of Katniss' horror and is orchestrated by Coin to push Katniss beyond her morals in Coin's grabbing for power.

A double tap airstrike on a paramedic and a 15-year-old teenager. A building damaged by genocidal assaults collapses and kills 21 people. These are all atrocities that happened in Gaza this week while mainstream media did everything in its power to distract you.

All that is to say, this exact type of airstrike on medical staff, is used as a shorthand for evil and corrupt power, and we as a country are funding it. If you ever read Hunger Games and thought it couldn't happen today, you're oblivious to what is going on right now

This is what weaponizing antisemitism looks like, we have to stop letting them use this claim to justify genocide and make all of us less safe

Patriots owner Robert Kraft explained his actions in a lengthy statement provided to GBH News, saying that he believes rapper Macklemore's comments in recent concerts have crossed the line into β€œhate speech.” https://bit.ly/4yDmSJn

I'm watching football with my mom (I never watch sports otherwise) and I already had to see two attack ads going after Dems who have already given up trans people, I want to sleep through the midterms pls

Sorry (not sorry) but I think that people who are actively abandoned and discarded by the party have every right to demand the bare minimum from the people wanting to lead us.

And I don't care where it's taking place, who their opponent is. "Oh but you don't understand this specific part of the country" - well Harris lost in every part of the country all while capitulating

Maybe Dems should try standing on their values and offering actual policies and then, wild idea, they actually do their jobs once in power? Might just work

Why the fuck would I vote for someone who actively wants to take rights away from people I love? What will it take/how much longer until they capitulate on the rest of our rights?

we have immigrant concentration camps, diarrhea lettuce, zillion dollar gas, suicidal soldiers, measles resurgence, national park land sold to the highest bidder and teachers crowdfunding school supplies, but the real problems facing our country are a muslim senate candidate and an influencer

It's so cool that every democratic establishment and individual is spending all their time and energy and breath talking about someone who is NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE

I have yet to see a single clear instance of Hasan Piker's so-called antisemitism. And regardless, he isn't running for office! He doesn't have political power! The people with that power are trying to push for Christian prayer and symbols in schools-

They're claiming their religion justifies banning life-saving healthcare for all, such as abortions and gender-affirming care. They condemn people who are childless and use antisemitic rhetoric to push for genocide in Palestine! What the fuck are the Democrats doing, focusing on Piker??

lol I wish "woke 1" ran amok and that we were all sitting pretty with our free healthcare and universal basic income and rainbow dyed hair I fuckin wish dude

The fact that this is even a news story is so horribly heinous and evil. PEOPLE ARE DYING. People are being abducted from their families. People are facing new disease outbreaks across the world. We don't want to vote for losers who refuse to address real problems anymore
