Prole demands abolition, carceral state promises regulation & delivers on 30% of it, petit bourgeois goes back to brunch. The cycle you voted for.
It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.

The left is riddled with ableism. If you see this post, I implore you to be more considerate of disabled people and disability in general. No “COVID-conscious lesbian bar” or “bisexual with POTS” jokes. They’re not funny. They’re inherently right-wing. Check yourselves.

thinking about those ads hinojosa and talarico did specifically to refute allegations that they were pro-trans
the pronouns hormone gender jokes are funny i guess but how many of these "blue wave" politicians are actually meaningfully pro trans

You would truly think people would stop falling for this at some point
“first gay man ever elected to U.S. senate” “first native american woman to be elected governor in U.S. history” “first muslim senator in U.S. history” “first black female governor in U.S. history”

For the majority, people don’t want change. They want to feel good. They prefer the comfort of ignorance and the dopamine of feeling righteous without the burden of accountability. Deeply individualistic hordes willingly sacrifice children and the vulnerable just so they can stay comfortable. If people actually wanted change, they’d be willing to feel discomfort for the collective. Hell, just the willingness and they can't even offer that.

they’re right. harm reduction is a public health framework that was very specifically developed in the context of substance use and other risky behaviors. it really has no business being used in the context of electoral politics. 😭

The reason why you’re able to keep voting for the “lesser evil” perpetually is because the system works fine for you when the democrats are in power. You’re able to comfortably ignore the suffering that you facilitate.

The problem with saying voting is "better than nothing" is it assumes voting is a neutral civic gesture, rather than an institutionally situated political act of U.S nationalism woven through Imperialism. Voting is something with material, institutional and political implications

...anyone wanna move to france
J’ai déposé une proposition de loi pour en finir avec l’invisibilisation et l’abandon des malades du Covid long ! Les chiffres sont inquiétants : en 2022, Santé publique France recensait 2 millions de malades, dont 700 000 atteints de formes sévères. Une personne atteinte sur cinq cesse de travailler, et un grand nombre de celles qui poursuivent leur activité ne peuvent reprendre qu’à temps partiel ou finissent par être licenciées. Des jeunes sont radiés de leurs établissements d’enseignement, et les enfants malades restent sans repérage à l’école, faute de formation des médecins scolaires. Voilà ce que contient ma proposition de loi 👉

That people would think to say Kraftwerk invented techno is curious. There is a resentful compulsion to deny black people credit at play there. Expertise certainly isn't driving that claim! That is entitlement driving people to jump into a conversation they know nothing about.

It’s interesting how everyone’s reply to this tweet is “yes I agree long COVID does exist but everyone who claims to have it is annoying and lying”
long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did
