the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

it is a foregone conclusion that yelling at the tiger will not produce any positive results. the fact that people are yelling at the democrats is actually a positive sign: it means they still believe there is a sliver of a chance they will wake up and become an opposition party

my problem with these takes, is it's like imagine if you were being attacked by a tiger at the zoo, and the zookeeper was over there kinda halfheartedly going "hey. come on now. get off him" and you went HEY WHAT THE FUCK! and the zookeeper went "uh don't oyu think you should be angry at the tiger?"

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children. From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew. In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

"People don't want to work anymore," "kids these days are too soft to do physical labor"—or maybe all it takes is reasonable compensation and dignified conditions! A functioning society costs so much less than people assume; those in power just have to be willing to allocate resources accordingly.

“he was 27 and his mom said he loved playing in the snow and now they won’t even tell her how he died” this one really fucked me up they came here because they were being persecuted by law enforcement and then he was killed by law enforcement

Brayan Garzón-Rayo
From Colombia
Died April 8, 2025

Brayan Garzón-Rayo, 21, of Colombia, died at the Phelps county jail in Rolla, Missouri. Garzón-Rayo's mother, Lucy Garzón, told St Louis Public Radio that she and her family came to the US in November 2023, fleeing growing threats of violence and harassment from law enforcement in Bogotá. In March Garzón-Rayo was charged with a misdemeanor for credit card fraud, and then transferred to ICE custody.
He spoke to his mother a few days before he died, Lucy Garzón told SLPR, and complained about stomach pains and the poor quality of the jail's food.

Lucy Garzón told SLPR that officials told her that her son appeared to have died by suicide. ICE has not confirmed an official cause of death. His mother said that Garzón-Rayo loved riding his motorcycle, watching soccer and sledding after fresh snowfall.

Depending on whom Newsom meant when he said, "I'm just like you. I'm no better than you"—the Black mayor? the dyslexic community? the audience, all presumed to be lowly illiterates who needed reassurance of their worth?—he was being racist, ableist, or a condescending shithead. Those are ALL BAD.

020

Roma Panganiban @romapancake.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Okay. "In context" it's clear that despite being dyslexic himself, Newsom buys into the ableist idea that dyslexia is an intellectual death sentence: you can't succeed in class or on the SAT, or even read a speech—but society will stoop to your level if you're Gavin Newsom and talk enough bullshit.

In the last 250 years, the United States has done not fewer than a dozen genocides, started not fewer than fifty different illegal wars, and committed several thousand discrete war crimes. Why would Israel need to make us do what we've always done anyway?

The problem with "Israel controls the US" is that it necessarily assumes we wouldn't support the genocide in Occupied Palestine unless they coerce us. And that's just an ahistorical take to the point of being outright fiction.
