I'm not sure what is exactly going on with the UK leftist political party that was supposed to be emerging.... but get your fucking act together and get in line. We don't have much of a line nowadays to waste. I don't get it, who cares about your egos (people please stop using social media as a call out for problems that need to be settled privately), humble yourself, eat some crow and get in formation. You just had race riots for Christ's sake. Your government is charging people with terrorism protesting for Palestine, you also got some disturbing online regulation laws you need to scrap. There is no time left, you are out of it, as are all of us who care to not see the humanity's ordeal go into the dustbin.

 This is a little late but the Palestinian journalists bombed on camera because of the suspicion of a "Hamas camera" means that photo world writers are going to finally take what is happening in Gaza seriously and confront it right? What meaning can the writings of the medium be otherwise if this is shoved away? This wasn't hesitated with, with the Abu Ghraib images, why should this be different? 

 

If the Democrats think abortion rights can be settled in the manner similar to a hostage negotiation to get their voters to compromise on this human right, they can think again and eat shit. I will watch that party burn itself to ashes in their billionaire donors' hands.

What will you the Democratic party, and your smug pseudo intellects, technocrat columnists, corporate neo fascists backing the professional 'polling tells us...' groups, and Weekend at Biden's collaborators say when abortion is banned? Maybe that's what is going on...they are waiting for the hammer to come down and they don't have the backbone or the courts or backbone to do anything about the courts, so they are repositioning. 

Could they be this stupid, certainly they could be this immoral but to be this politically stupid? I don't trust you politically whatever side you position yourself to be on if protecting reproductive rights aren't important to your political plans and fight. Women and girls don't need more sacrificing since the fall of Roe by the party that pleaded only they could restore the rights lost. And you wonder why people don't trust your party and/or hate the DNC? 

Would you Erza Klein and Neera Tanden like to explain your position by going to host townhalls explaining why we must give up and give in to welcoming politicians who are forced birthers into the Democratic party? Will the NY Times pay for that Ezra or you just want to stay huddled inside your podcast? Will Butcher Blinken be assisting you Neera, since you assisted him into a cushy position at Center for American Progress as he helped assist your genocidal boss into annihilating Gaza? Would you care to help incinerate the Democratic party as well Neera?

I am really baffled by this idea that Kirk was assassinated by Israel coming from left wing online media type figures. Like can you slow your roll or just stop the stupidity altogether? Occam's razor anyone? Do you think Butcher Bibi doesn't have other things he's concerned with, with a literal holocaust he is caryying out, then Kirk souring on him? That maybe he is giving condolences to suck up to all the right wing figures and donors? Do you think "we" the United States (and broader West in general) are the puppet of Israel or the one pulling the actual strings? As Israel is a colonial outpost for eyes, ears, and Nuclear weapons in the Middle East, and training ground for police, war games, and surveillance. It's not some boogeyman hands of the Elders of Zion conspiracy. The West want to rule the world and pillage it through colonialism, imperialism, capitalism, supremacy, and surveillance. Israel is the vessel for all of this. Ironically same people who thought people speculating Trump having any suspicious connections with Russia was dumb libs pacifying themselves, are the ones like 'Omg Mormon kid who loved guns a patsy for Mossad? And Candance and Tucker actually on our side?' Bfr. 🙄

No one who capitulated and humiliated themselves to sign up for honoring Charlie Kirk day, will help lead you out of this. That's all the Senate Dems by the way. We are in the wilderness and when you don't feel the road ahead is anywhere nearby, nor that it will lead eventually to good and fruitful prospects, people stop walking, stop aspiring, quit long term planning, halt their hopes and kill off their dreams. They merely get enough rest to rise and survive. Going further is too much strain on the heart and it's broken so much hasn't it? Too much of America exists in an inertia they themselves don't have the willpower to get up and move on from. We as Americans and the world had ten years to work this out and instead we ended up hauled into an active volcano.

I think very often of a quote back in 2015, of a man re-accounting being at a pizza parlor with the guy behind the counter looking at the TV watching Trump and saying it's over. 

The customer asked "The election?" 

The man responded "America."

If neither the party, nor progressive groups and organizers on the ground, couldn't organize to do everything to stop a comeback, well maybe the playbooks needs to start over. Yet we might not be granted that leeway nor time. However...Maybe...We are just another sorry arc in history and a blip in the tragedy of the human experiment. Perhaps one day people can take our sorry hard learned lessons and fight for everything they believe in and desire, when dangers arise in their own particular times and troubles.

Somehow we survive

and tenderness, frustrated, does not wither.

Investigating searchlights rake

our naked unprotected contours;

over our heads the monolithic decalogue

of fascist prohibition glowers

and teeters for a catastrophic fall;

Boots club on the peeling door.

But somehow we survive

severance, deprivation, loss.

Patrols uncoil along the asphalt dark

hissing their menace to our lives.

most cruel, all our land is scarred with terror,

rendered unlovely and unlovable;

sundered are we and all our passionate surrender

but somehow tenderness survives.

First they came for those Free Palestine people that were very loud and inconvenient, that were deemed expendable threats for state and higher institutions purposes almost 2 years ago. Then in the present day they came for one of the biggest comedians on television because he quipped in his monologue about MAGA online demanding their side had nothing to do with the shooting. Though not everyone knew the who and what fully, yet people in the frenzy make narratives and people react to them, even though Kimmel said he wished prayers for Kirk's family. If they can go after this guy you're not safe from getting a crack down. Wonderful! 

All the wealthy and bloated crybaby anti woke comedians/corporate comedy sports and LOL commentary mouthpieces, happen to be mysteriously silent on the firing and deflecting blame that what is occurring actually isn't! 

It seems like a lot of you are not principled in the slightest?  🤔

On another weird upside down note, some of the far right media figures are going with 'Charlie was maybe taken out by Mossad?', while their online supporters say it was the leftist trans agenda that did Kirk in. Strange and dangerous times. 

Very embarrassing people on the left flirting with the Israel angle, make it make sense. 🙄

"it's always two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyyy…."

black-pilled by Charlie Kirk death seen as comedy, but not Gaza genocide as an ongoing tragedy

You were black-pilled by some people on social media happy/relieved/making fun of/not caring/not upset about what happened to Kirk but not the genocide going on in Gaza, that we ALL can see on our phones 24/7 for almost two years? And I'm suppose to take you seriously about this outrage radicalizing you when you don't take your own humanity seriously? 

"It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible"

 

As for both journalists and everyone else who were (and still are) acting like sociopaths the last couple days online....If you can't participate in talking about politics without endangering the lives of trans people maybe fix your hearts? Isn't Jesus about that? Wouldn't Jesus say 'I think David Lynch had a salient point there'? Why do you believe in Jesus anyway if you're so cruel? Are you waiting for him to save you? What makes your hateful self worth saving in his name? I'm not even religious like that and yet I think I'd at least be a better candidate for that kind of life. One of the best pieces of advice my father ever told me was to not trust people who say they know God and say they speak to him, those are things not accessible to us in this life. And yet I definitely know that man who left this mortal plane a couple days ago was not some vessel for God's love. The hagiography around him is shameless but I expected it though from his side, it's how it goes the myth making on that side, however some of you foolish liberals...

The treatment of trans people merely in retaliation to him is fucking sickening. For those of you who choose to remain this way, I hope the God you desire for acceptance and forgiveness and his love never finds you. That the God you crave looks down on you in disgust and mortification. That he recoils hearing your words and pleas to him, because he can't believe he crafted such vengeful abominations, that have the nerve to describe themselves as caring human beings all in the Lord's name. 

The Unforgivable Sin of Ms Rachel

Maybe I'm being too dark in my speculations, but I wonder if we are in the early days of a militant anti-vax movement taking shape in the same way the forced birth movement manifested. People likely don't remember a lot of the violence and threats in the early years of Covid, screaming and threatening school boards kind of things. Plenty of healthcare workers were threatened and physically assaulted as well. A friend of mine who was going to an appointment for their Covid shot had it delayed due to a bomb threat called in. Almost a month ago a mass shooter attacked the CDC building in Georgia. I met a man at an event for Gaza and when we discussed Covid and masking, he told me how he was targeted with abuse at his job by customers just cause he masked. I consider myself lucky so far. Though I remember the glare of this older white woman Boomer cunt at the store staring at me from a semi distance like she wanted to rip my mask off, as if I couldn't do that there. She didn't notice I could see her inquisitive urgency to confront me, so I invoked a tight pointed angry glare in her direction looking past her. There was a man recently who I sensed he wanted to stare me down but I wouldn't let him dominate, yet these are very rare in such a long time span, but it's just so stupid it had to even happen. It's America, every man for themself, you all proved that to everyone. Well done, so mind your own business.

I observe a lot of anti vax-anti Covid-anti mask commentators on social media to the determinant of my psychological well being. They frighten me. The sheer idiocy, the risk they pose for public health, and the power in their determination to stop actual substantive  healthcare, medicine, and science. I don't care if it comes from good intentions or someone has some heart of gold. That's still a threat to my health and everyone else's. Many have characteristics similar to forced birthers. Driven not by knowledge but emotion and the desire to dominate and control others. Living in magical fantasies of good and evil, simple and easy, and no one can be wrong, only the bad people are wrong. They speak with such disdain and are so confident in their convictions, like religious zealots and just as dangerous. I totally see them getting onboard with doctors, scientists, healthcare workers, and researchers being targeted to be killed. I always knew America would not handle a pandemic well, I just had wrongfully assumed Covid would no longer be a problem five and a half years later. And now we are walking toward a whole slew of other viruses emerging breaking containment. Not only because of the 'I dug up my ex wife that I psychologically tortured for years' Kennedy, but because this country is chronically sick in individualism, cruelty, anti-education, anti-intellect, and anti-empathy. 

And a culture of:

 'Make Me Laugh On Demand!!' 

'Make Me Angry On Demand!!' 

'Make Me Afraid of My Neighbor!!" 

'Make Me Fearful I Beg You!!'

'Make Me Hate, I'm In Pain!!'

'Don't Tell Me What To Do, Just Tell Me What I Want To Hear, Right Now!!' 

*maybe I should have more sympathy for such a scammed and scared populace that make up anti vaxxer land, because healthcare is a Kafkian labyrinth in this country. And even with great healthcare it is a possible nightmare, that can be yanked out from under you at any time. What makes the best case for vaccines that it isn't a conspiracy? The wealthy and powerful want to live as long as possible and that only works with healthcare and medical advances. Medicine needs to be available enough to the rest of us peasants as well. But I know this rationale doesn't feel good to this crowd so good luck seriously, we are all going to need it and too many aren't going to be that lucky.

A couple weeks ago someone who was considered one of the nicest, down to earth, and good humored people, I found watches ICE Raids and protestors being run over. People you should look out for your brothers, sons, fathers, grandfathers, grandsons, husbands, uncles, nephews, and brother in laws. You want them to be a better person, a better man than that, right?

Now we can put to bed the baby argument of her promoting some trad wife aspiration from one photo put out. Also it's a low bar but so many pop stars and celebrities have abandoned supporting trans people and drag queens when they did before. So what wouldn't seem like much and pretty normal 7 years ago now is for lack of a more adequate term radical in the face of all the anti LGBTQ terror.  Less self-serving for a pop star (in contrast to those who used LGBTQ people in the past to prop themselves up) when it's a time where it really matters when politically trans people are being told to face the wall.
