Mike Rogers sent me mail letting me know that murderers and rapists and criminals go to jail with him. So he’s a criminal I guess and he really wants me to know?

Here’s what’s important for you to know real pastors don’t support you becoming a trad wife… because there has never been a point in history where it has been in the best interest of women to solely depend on the benevolence of men for their wellbeing

Please enjoy all the things the Meta thinks are “on my plate.” These are the pressing concerns that necessitate building data centers on top of everything: making sure that a busy lady like me can turn an old pic into an old timey movie poster.

When they said AI would kill us they meant by being bad at skilled work such as air traffic control — not by creating Terminators and Sentinels and Ultrons.

I’m proud to be endorsed by the Human Rights Campaign. This country was founded on the principle of freedom and equality. As extremists take aim at our civil liberties, we need leaders to fight back. I will stand with the Human Rights Campaign to fight for a better future together in Congress.

Again, there is clear evidence a data center moratorium would peel far more votes away from the GOP than the 10-15 (not thousand, literally 10-15 total) who might switch over this same crowd’s demand to betray queer people. It’s malpractice that the party won’t ditch these professional losers.

Important point. The seeds for this were planted a long time ago: "Yes, it’s more likely that a younger person who’s terminally online will post imagery to be provocative, but they’re simply reflecting the values modeled by the Republicans who came before them and for whom they’re now working."

I'm a white Arab American. Most ppl would never know that's my background by looking at me. The day after 9/11, family friends, who did not know, where at the house and openly talking about how all Arabs and Muslims in the US should be rounded up into camps. I was 12 years old. We were never united.

If this looks familiar, it’s because it is a repost of a tweet I posted five years ago bc yes, I am still thinking about it. Here’s the rest of the thread:
POST 2: It's the little things that truly cement this all-encompassing hellscape ✨🇵🇸

POST 3: I need to be clear that the summer camp was super fun most of the time and pretty in line with actual Christian ideals. Like besides a few weird counselors, I loved going there.

But also Texas is Texas and those
microaggressions are a daily thing for Arabs in the state.

to place the sexual and reproductive exploitation of black women at the center of your understanding of american slavery is to see that the system was forced birth and this, in turn, should lead to a more expansive vision of what the 13th amendment actually guarantees.

And the amount of people who would compare Platner to Mamdani, being like “both have fake antisemitism allegations against them!” Like no, one is being accused of being antisemitic because of racism and Islamophobia. The other is being accused because of a goddamn Nazi tattoo.

The value of Graham Platner is that right up until all his red flags came toppling down upon him is that he is the most naked example of the amount of grace & credibility Simply Being White grants you. Compared to Abdul El-Sayed, who has to re-earn every ounce of credibility he has on a daily basis.
