Despite...everything, I still believe the number of decent people in the world outnumber the terrible ones. But that's a double-edged sword. Cuz the decent people aren't willing to do what the terrible ones are.

I keep seeing people post about how you gotta vote blue in the midterms to fix all this, and how 'we gotta get Trump out of the white house asap'... Americans elected him TWICE and many voted for him x3. The fascist problem in America isn't Trump. It's AMERICANS.

Magats are crying now because their families are going no-contact with them. Hundreds of comments on the post. Not a single one takes responsibility. Many say this was foretold in the Bible. Some say "it'll happen to them too" [referring to their adult kids]

I think Ms Rachel has become the perfect litmus test to weed out generally awful people. If you have a problem with Ms Rachel, there's a REALLY good chance you are a POS.

Benjamin Netanyahu has murdered over 73,000 Palestinians. He deserves to answer for his crimes.

The Prime Minister of Isreal is a mass murderer who should be tried and convicted for war crimes. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Fun fact Across multiple scholarly studies AND citizen polls (polls not depicted) Donald Trump consistently ranks in the bottom three (top three?) for WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY. He's typically only beat out by the guy who is blamed for the CIVIL WAR and the guy who fought against Civil Rights

Um, no @thedailybeast.bsky.social Gibney didn't "cast" Elon as a force for evil. Elon 100% did that himself.

This is what I mean when I say conservatives believe stuff that's just not true ... Left wing violence remains at historically low levels despite small recent uptick. www.csis.org/analysis/ide... The National Institute of Justice agrees. www.congress.gov/119/meeting/...

Disturbing thought: What if Trump is just a patsy? What if this is all a psyop? And when Trump's term ends and he 'tries to run again' and fails, all the people on the left let their guard down a little bit. But, he normalized just enough CRAZY ish for fascism to find a foothold anyway.

There's lots of pretty evil stuff going on in the world. Some of it a bit shocking, some not surprising. But until my dying day I will never forget (or forgive) that Isreal is committing a literal genocide against the Palestinians, and the whole world has just been letting it happen.

It goes without saying at this point that Trump is pure scum. But why won't this be a scandal? Because of Maga republicans. The most disappointing group of individuals I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

Conservatives like to say crazy stuff like denying the existence of systemic racism. Ok... Then how come black people are 19 times more likely to be falsely accused? innocenceproject.org/news/nre-nat... OR How come black people get longer sentences for the same crime? www.ussc.gov/research/res...
