If you think that disagreeing with MAGA is "strawmannirg," your opinion is of no value, and it's as bland as your background "art." Find a belief system and stick with it! And no, there are no MAGAs who are "good people." None.

Humans brought rabbits to Australia. Humans released them. Humans transformed the landscape. Now rabbits are poisoned, shot, fumigated and infected with viruses for a crisis they did not create.

When Humans Introduce an Animal, Why Do We Blame the Animal?
Humans trafficked rabbits thousands of miles from where they belonged. Humans released them. Rabbits reproduced. And now rabbits are called the invaders.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."

Just wow. The leading driver of #deforestation and #water depletion asking for more trees, shade & water. You can’t make this level of idiocy up 😣

It's anti-oppression unless we are oppressing the animals, anti-capitalism unless defending animal agriculture, "my body my choice" but animals don't get a choice, and let's boycott everything cause boycotts work unless we are talking about animal products in which case, no one will make a difference
I completely acknowledge going vegan is not easy-we live in a non-vegan world and it's difficult. I understand that. It's one thing to say that but it's a whole other thing to argue AGAINST vegan ideology and be anti-vegan as a leftist. #vegan #veganism #veganaf #cheaplazyvegan

In the year since Charlie Kirk’s killing, the federal government has, as promised, ramped up its targeting of leftist groups and individuals: Minneapolis anti-ICE activists have been raided and indicted. Orgs like PSL & CodePink subpoenaed. Hasan Piker is an existential threat.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social are you really a transphobe or just playing one for the votes? Either way, repellent response to a question - the correct answer is: "stop bullying children."

And if we weren't growing plants to feed your billions of unnatural animals, we could grow more than enough to feed the people you pretend to be so concerned about (not to mention they'd have water and less climate change effects)

No, if we didn't keep domestic animals as "livestock" we wouldn't be force-reproducing them by the billions, to the great detriment of the earth and its inhabitants.

Why anyone thinks that "we raise these animals to be sources of food for ourselves" is a compelling argument (for continuing to use them) is beyond me. It's "I want what I want when I want it" and nothing more

The most powerful man alive stood in front of the American press corps and used a cheerful musical theater performer as the worst thing he could think to call a woman. Everyone understood him. The room understood, the headlines understood, the apology demand understood: it is an insult to be compared to a trans woman, as society tends to view us as weird little goblins. The one person who seemed to reject the premise was Mulvaney.

Nobody said it proves he'd have won. The point you're ignoring is that NO ONE KNOWS. There is, however, no polling to suggest he would have "handed Trump 400 electoral votes."

Sure. Except it's not what his point is, at all. Since what he SAID was "“An extra year’s income” might feel nice, but living with a total income of $100k for exactly one year is hardly life-changing, and that’s for a household earning considerably below average." Which is inane.

When my mother passed, she left $20,000 to each grandchild; at least two of them would have been unable to buy a house, maybe ever, without that. (And we're a solidly middle-to-upper-middle class family as a whole) Should they have spent it on lottery tickets instead?

You must be right; I can't make any other sense of these guys' passionate - bordering on hysterical - insistence that $50,000 is nothing to most people. What world do they live in?
