Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Decades ago, my best friend in high school was a victim of that system. They were going to commit her to an institution rather than face the corrupt system where foster homes were incredibly abusive, and her *caseworker* told her dad where to find her when she was alone and isolated. 021
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I cannot imagine champing at the bit for live executions, regardless of the perpetrators' crimes, especially as so many of us are horrified by trump making the very thing a reality for a different crime. 000

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 11/10/2026A personal belief is that is they need to go through an education program where they have to interact with all the subjects they disdain but have decided they know better than everyone else. For starters, it would consist of philosophy 101, psych 101, and a bunch of children's lit, where they're led 100

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's the least interesting and most obvious reason, and people like this should be embarrassed for saying shit like this. He's like the only dem being up front and honest that the other side is just a bunch of nazis while everyone else clutches pearls and vows to work with trump. 020
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I'm so frustrated by the faction of the left that accepts politicians' self-labeling when that label is in direct opposition to their actions. 000
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Dude, this is on you, too. You have power and haven't used it to stop ICE/police violence. You were for abolishing the police, but got elected and played nice with them. 020
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh, noz! What happens when you stop using an instance? Are you putting it in solitary confinement? Fuck all the tech bros and tech bro girls. 021

Reposted by MirandaJack Graham @timescarcass.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The Democrats are not the alternative to the fascism taking over the US. They are another wing of it. The best of them are cowards and collaborators. The worst are co-conspirators. They'll do anything - genocide in Gaza, genocide of Trans people at home - for power. 051
Reposted by MirandaJack Graham @timescarcass.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Because they are hollow people. People with no principles. People with no integrity. Grubby, cynical, petty opportunists. Dolls of straw and stuffing. And that's when they're not actually just as bigoted as any Republican, but wrapping it prettily in condescension and paternalism. 0154
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026It's a glorified autocorrect. Really makes you wonder about the quality of these guys' relationships. Probably the best thing we could do for everyone--them included--is take all their money and make them live like normal people for the rest of their lives. 000

A bunch of us have stockpiles all ready to go in case of surges, if you have the ability to pass them out, we have the whistles! 12923456
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 09/10/2026As a pediatrician, I'd also argue she has the responsibility to educate people instead of spewing this bigoted bullshit. 120

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The dems in my state are that way. They support the Palestinian genocide and ICE, even now. The senators work hard to out fetterman fetterman. It's bleak. I think it is worse when the party that is supposed to be a bullwark against fascism falls to it. Then, I don't see how we get out. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026For now though, if I were in a district like this, I would be threatening to withhold my vote and then follow through if she didn't have a sincere change of heart. I don't think we're getting a less fascist future with dems like her. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've seen the dems compound harm over the past 35 years with promises to continue the same. I don't see how voting for them helps. It's not a good situation, but to pretend the dems do good is also a problem. E.g. Kamala was promising the world's most lethal fighting force and more border brutality. 200
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Well, SCOTUS seems to disagree with you, as they rubber stamp every unconstitutional thing trump does. 000
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We come to very different conclusions. We must fight for everyone. I think voting for a dem transphobe only further entrenches fascism. When I look at the democratic party, I see corrumption and rot so deep, the only choice is to start again with a new party. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026SCOTUS gave him the power to do anything before he left office. And no, he never did all he could, even within the bounds of his office, because he simply didn't give a shit about women's bodily autonomy. It's a great fundraising device, though. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Because they're being paid by billionaires on the right to enact policies that help them, which coincidentally help trump. That is the job that are doing. Even mamdani is just a centrist. He's fine, but not what we really need, as he's just tinkering at the edges. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The most powerful man in the world could do nothing. Uh huh. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You're here agreeing the democrats have moved far right but think we can somehow move them left, and I'm the one not living in the real world?? 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We lost abortion under a Democrat who did jack shit about it because he personally thinks it's wrong (though I bet the fucker has paid for at least one). They've never stopped helping trump. They're fascists or fascist enablers. 100
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I live in the real world, where I've seen democrats move to the right of reagan over the course of my life. They keep chipping away at public programs and go further than Republicans with brutality when in office, it's just you all aren't paying attention then. 200
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026No, the democrats choosing to run shit candidates with zero values gave us trump. They could stand up for things and fight at any point. They choose not to. It's probably a coincidence they're owned by the same rich assholes as republicans. 000
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 08/10/2026With all you've listed, why are you expecting different results from the party that has helped us get here, especially since they're telegraphing they plan to do nothing about trump if they take control? 110

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I saw the original Running Man for the first time about 6 months ago and thought, "You couldn't make that movie today. Wait... it was remade last year? By Edgar Wright? Sign me up." Then I watched it, and it turns out my original thought was correct. Wright's version is toothless. 000
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Thank you! It's so frustrating! If he were so great about making amends, she wouldn't have turned to the college for assistance. That process must be painful in its own right: filing out forms, detailing what was done to her; combing through texts/docs to compile evidence; telling bureaucrats; etc. 050

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I want to get back to this and say I don't want details, but there is a name for what he did and what he is and he's not using it, which indicates he's not even taken basic accountability. 010
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 04/10/2026... with her the next day and they agreed about what happened and that later, she decided to go to the school. Something does not add up here, as you present yourself as working so diligently to make things right, but she had to go to the fucking college for justice??? 010
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Although there is a ton going on language-wise, I'm going to boil my criticism of the apology down to the start, where he discusses the assault. In addition to not talking accountability for his actions (what did he actually do?), something seems to have broken down in RL. He writes he spoke... 220
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Great article about the ways men use language to wriggle out of accountability. I'm tempted to examine Geller's "apology" in detail because so many believe a version of events most favorable to him, in spite of what he wrote! I hope his victim is in a good place with lots of support. 111

Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The safety argument pisses me off the most as complete transparent bullshit. I went to a tiny school, with fewer than 100 graduates/yr. Even so, there were 2 cis girls in my class over 6'/200 lbs. They were'nt issues. Team captains, who were close to average height, though? Vicious "safety threats." 000
Miranda @avocadoofdeath.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Or a hs girl's locker room. At least in my day, the 6', 200+ lb girls weren't a threat. The more average team captains absolutely were, though. 2220
