I hate these sort of “it’s become a divisive distraction” kinds of statements. It basically reads to me as “Ugh, you jerks simply won’t let my hypocritical, damaging horsecrap be a thing of the past, and maybe the future if I thought I could get away with it again. Fine, I’ll go, but only because of the mess *you* are…

Neocolonialism and colonialism are absolutely enemies of women’s rights. The Native American Nations that existed pre-contact were often matriarchal, or power was shared between genders. White men found this ridiculous and did whatever they could to dismantle it. Anyone who thinks we were in Afghanistan to protect…

The understanding would be that Black (capitalize please) feminism would not be at the center of the power dynamics behind western feminism or pinkwashing, and so would be reached out to rather than left out. Remember, ‘White Feminism’ as an idea does not mean white people who are feminists, it’s about creating an…

But why build bridges with White Feminism? It’s standing in the way right? Most of us are against it.

That was the goal too. It just failed. And all the usual suspects are lining up now to declare that we can’t leave since our leaving is good for Russia/Iran/China/all three.

Meanwhile, the majority of the rest of the world still doesn't have access to their first dose.

As much as I’d love a booster, the World Health Organization has specifically asked first world countries to forgo boosters until the rest of the world has access to first doses.

75% of service members in Vietnam were ‘volunteers’, as in undrafted. As to how many joined up specifically to fight in Vietnam, and how many joined up in peacetime and now had to go there, I have no idea. Something tells me some of these rationales don’t change much through history. I’d like to know what they think…

But, I mean, they were following orders right? So it is what the politicians and commanders hoped to accomplish that means more. The organ grinder’s the one playing the tune after all.

Religious fundamentalists in Europe tend to get most of their money and support from Saudi Arabia though.

US foreign policy doesn’t give a shit about women. It’s not why we invaded 20 years ago. Women’s rights were used beatify the argument, but invasion would have happened anyway.

Isn’t her stance that she’s “vaccine-hesitant” and a low-vaccine family? Essentially just anti-vaxx dogwhistles, the basic equivalent of “just asking questions” while continuing to promote the conspiracy theories.

Really? No mention that she’s using her neuroscience degree to push snake oil caffeine pills to unlock your brain power, or has had a bad history of anti-vaxx sentiments?

She’s not a great choice either. 

“Meghan and I have a lot in common,” Sinema said. “We’re both from Arizona, we love cacti... I think we’re both tough as nails, and we’re both fiercely independent.”

“elvis and britney were in healthy dynamics with their managers actually" is very much the wrong lesson to learn hon

A nice piece about something I thoroughly despise!

He literally was a prosecutor.
