Again, one side is campaigning on going out of its way to outlaw and limit access to reproductive care and rights, and have demonstrated that they’ll actually do it. The other side is not going to do that.

Yeah. The article is not wrong about serious systematic problems in the US, but it’s also fair to call out a minority-owned company for being shitty when that company’s own CEO was fully aware of the situation and made a shitty decision. Nobody forced them to be part of the problem rather than the solution.

it was hard to see these (mostly white) MomTokkers quickly mobilize a boycott against a relatively small baby apparel company while ignoring the multiple boycotts currently taking place to support mothers and babies in Gaza, where newborns are facing increasingly dire odds.

Yeah I’m sure you’re right. Probably when Biden gets re-elected this time he’s gonna totally codify Roe. Then he’ll forgive all student loans and fix trans rights and even give us that covid money we were all promised! Just gotta vote this one more time, just one more vote, and kick him another $25 for his campaign he…

Might as well inturrupt a bullshit, entirely for show rally for reproductive rights that Biden isn’t going to do a god damn thing to protect anyway.

Having been born in the Soviet Union, and having nearly lost my life along with my parents who bravely smuggled my brother and I over the Finnish border under gun fire, I can confidently say we are a flawed democracy, not a failed one.

Reproductive rights are not about the government that would 100% curtail reproductive rights.

Both parties send all of Crystal’s tax dollars to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and do nothing to alleviate her credit card debt to help her pay for the updated COVID-19 vaccine inoculation, which is no longer free. That’s what she said.

None of Crystal’s progressive friends in the state of Iowa are voting. America’s two-party system is a fake democracy which offers only senile male perverts as candidates.  That’s what she said.

I fail to see how this means you shouldn’t protest the guy actively helping Israel to bomb Gaza. They are hardly going to be able to protest him in the White House. They have to protest when he is out and about. And the fact is he will always be out an about talking about another important problem. His job is to…

Going by that math, actually voting for Trump is TWO votes for Trump.   Amazing.

I was at the rally. I took the opportunity to speak to female American graduate student Crystal Jewell. Crystal is convinced there’s no point in voting. American democracy is broken and she won’t waste any more of her time on it.  That’s what she said.

And a vote for Biden is a vote for someone who has enabled genocide. It is a rock and a hard place. I will probably vote for him but it will be with incredible shame and frustration. Voting for him will not bring me joy. It will simultaneously feel like a sacrifice and a selfish act. And that is a terrible feeling to…

No one believes Republicans will care or be better in any way, shape, or form, on the issue.

The vice squeezing Palestinian Americans and their allies — Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, and plain old “regular” Americans who care about innocent human lives — is indescribable right now.

Aren’t they helping the ethnic cleansing by keeping their borders closed and letting them get killed by the thousands?

Let Palestinians have an actual country then we can criticize it for its human rights issues. But the treatment of women or gay people does not justify what Israel has been doing to Palestine for the last 75 years.

Ignoring the millions of Palestinians who already live in other Arab countries (there are three million in Jordan alone), no country wants to take in the entirety of the Gazan population because they don’t want to be party to ethnic cleansing.

Israel is a country, not a religion. My country, the United States of America is supposed to believe that religion and country are seperate things. I resent that my taxes are being used to indiscriminately blow up little babies who are now starving because of Israel.

So basically “stop hitting yourself”?
