If people are rioting because of police violence, the proper response is not to be more violent.
If you find yourself in a situation where you aren’t happy, please, do anything in your power to get yourself out of it. Even if it makes others unhappy. When necessary, put your well-being first.
If you are pro-life, and want to ban gay and lesbian couples from adopting, than you really aren’t helping those children you claim to care for. Keep this in mind.
Me: In November, either Trump or Biden will win. There is no third outcome, so we should vote accordingly for the option that will mitigate the most harm.
The people in my notes: Oh, so you think direct action is bad? You think voting is literally the only thing we can do? You hate activism? You love Biden and endorse everything he does and think nobody should criticize him ever? You think voting will just magically solve all our problems? You think protesting is wrong? You love the status quo and think everything is fine?
Opening states up again this early is going to be one of the biggest factors in the recurrence of the virus in Autumn. We are putting the economy over people’s lives by doing this, and, as much as we’d all like for our normal lives to resume, this isn’t the way to do it.
The primary reason behind the common American backing Ukraine instead of Palestine is the United States government’s relationship with the offending nation.
If the US interacted with Israel the way it interacts with Russia, there would have been immediate calls to end this genocide as well as stronger humanitarian aid given to the people of Gaza.
Remember to be weary of propaganda when you’re consuming media related to this crisis. The people of Palestine have been calling for help for decades - Israel is committing genocide. And we are doing nothing.
If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.
Misandrists who claim to be Feminists are not Feminists, and should not be associated with the movement. Please focus on the real Feminists when discussing Feminism.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
having gay sex is like the least problematic thing that has happened in that US senate hearing room
Just because someone is caucasian, heterosexual, cisgender, and not in need of money does not mean that they cannot be depressed. Depression is an mental illness; it doesn’t care about your position in life. Don’t disrespect depressed people.
