These people have never and will never see me as a part of a culture which they will never know or love as much as I do

As an American born son of a Venezuelan immigrant who was given a western name, never learned Spanish, studied western art and philosophy in college, shed tears in front of paintings by William Joseph Mallard Turner, or while reading the works of Faulkner and Hemingway I can confirm!

I'm seeing smart people acting like they don't understand the difference between not finding previous allegations credible at the time, and being okay with what was previously alleged. Or framing passive support in context of high political stakes with active endorsement. Who is this for??

This discourse is so gross and disheartening. People wanted to believe in redemption were right to want that. It failed because they were lied to and betrayed. Demonizing them for that is unhelpful, and it's weird to me to see how people (and who) seem so eager demonize, even if it's dishonestly.

I think this is people ignorantly regurgitating criticism that was used against Bernie without understanding why Bernie was criticized that way

too charitable. I think it's a mistake to underestimate or overlook pure malice as a motivation for people who seek power. Profit seeking doesn't quite explain his actions. His moves make the most sense if you consider that his goal is actually to the most harm he can. He's evil

These people are demonizing Hasan BECAUSE they are racist. That's the central motivation of 100% of the movement to marginalize him. When they said "Joe Rogan of the left" they meant a white man.

They are doing a suspiciously uncharacteristic amount of damage control. I bet the other shoe that hasn't dropped is that the ice shooter that not been named yet has some kind of indefensible violent criminal history.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

The capitalists do want us to feel shame about the time we spend not generating profit for them - but paying us to be idle is also one of the most dehumanizing things they do. Sacrificing our time, well-being, and creative potential to be an unused surplus resource because they can afford the waste

despite all the fear mongering about trans people and the attempts to abandon and actively harm us from both political parties in the US, transitioning is still the greatest decision i’ve ever made, only regret i have is not doing it younger, and that it has only made my life infinitely better

Even worse, "trump admin links..." presents it as a fact rather than even just a claim. CNN is claiming that the admin has in fact established that there is a link.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

For sure. I feel that it's also been increasingly clear to me, at least since Travon, that for Shapiro, K*rk, etc questioning, or expecting justification for an act of violence committed by white person against a POC is itself viewed a racist affront to the rights of all whites.

It's so weird that they hardly even need to tell the lies anymore, you people will just imagine, out of thin air, whatever explanation masks sense to you for their actions and then just start believing it as fact. Nobody in the admin has even bothered to make any claims as to who was on the boat.

I am a Bernie supporter who begrudgingly voted Hillary, Biden, and Harris in spite of hating them. I can promise you right now I absolutely will never vote for Newsome, even if he is the nominee, even if he completely reversed his depraved positions on human rights starting today. It's too late.

timortiz.bsky.social @timortiz.bsky.social · 29/08/2025
I am so baffled by people like you (there seem to be many) who: 1. Do NOT support Newsome personally, 2. Feel very strongly that everyone must commit to vote for him if he is hypothetically the nominee several years from now and 3. Argue for this by threatening and insulting people who don't agree

You people want basic human rights for trans people to be "tactically optional" so bad despite that being proven to be a lie in actual elections over and over. He's not smart, he's hateful, like you.

timortiz.bsky.social @timortiz.bsky.social · 15/08/2025
Neither Newsome, nor any other candidate who is not clearly and with conviction supporting basic human rights (re: trans issues, Gaza, the death penalty) will ever be electable and shouldn't be. A failure to vote for the furthest left candidate in any primary is a vote for trump

There is proof of this in my work. We provide resources for art making to people with developmental disabilities who are able to make art full time because they receive a basic income. Programs like this consistently produce great artists in large numbers, many of which become quite successful

They tell that lie because they are terrified that the reality is that it's broad public opinion is alwase moving towards inclusivity. If people (like myself) find the idea of "good genes" gross that's good - it's progress

The root of right wing outrage about this kind of stuff is the false belief the appearance of "wokeness" in popular culture is the result of companies showing excessive concern for a small minority of weak people who are "offended" but somehow very influential.

timortiz.bsky.social @timortiz.bsky.social · 31/07/2025
This is the wrong take because: 1. The ad was bad and people were reasonable to be mad at it, but more importantly 2. Dismissing that fact gives credit to the right wing narrative that claims "woke" companies are being manipulated by "woke" elites and not actual public opinion.

I think it's likely part of the cover up. It's long been a rationalization on the right that Trump cut ties with Epstine and banned him from mar-a-lago because he realized he's bad guy. I think they'll release info that is specific to the Giuffre case such that it will support that narrative

Been worried about this since I saw people cheering the Twitter layoffs. Because it doesn't make sense... I thought the reason we were supposed to like rich people was because they were "job creators"? Only way to reconcile it: deciding that some people must deserve harm actually.

1 things need to get much worse in the short term to reach some mythical utopia later, and 2 getting there is gonna require identifying and eliminating a lot of the extra or undesirable people who are in the way - which is the core of right wing ethos.

I feel like this except is clarifying for me about a deeper aspect tech embrace of the right wing. The transition from imagining a better future for us all to trying to come up with a more "psychologically palatable" "narrative" of the future depends on convincing people of two things:

I can appreciate that relationships are hard and don't work most of the time, but characterizing mens trauma and/or challenges with mental health as immaturity or some kind of personal failure is gross, and misogynistic

I think, also, social media consultants are gonna tend to be very dedicated to not acknowledging that those millions of followers are fake. Similar to how digital marketing consultants are highly motivated not to admit that "targeted" ads probably aren't actually worth it.

I've begrudgingly voted for Democrats who don't represent me for every election for twenty years to try to stop fascists, it hasn't worked at all. I absolutely will not vote for any candidate ever again who doesn't proudly support trans rights, including access to gender affirming care for children
