it was already done at an NFL game. i think? it was already done in Congress, where (if memory serves), right-wingers didn’t feel a moment of silence went far enough and demanded a spoken prayer.
edit - to clarify, done specifically for the newly dead influencer, whose name i don’t care to type atm.
unsuccessful?
you can’t even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
this is not the first time Texas Dems have left the state to try to push back against the GOP stranglehold.
btw, all the comments i read around here saying Texans deserve [whatever]? we’re fighting a rigged game in this state. Abbot, Paxton etc do not represent us all.
i find it kind of creepy that this meme makes a joke of strangulation.
i realize this is /s, but i kinda wish people would not continue to conflate autism with nazism, even as a joke.
there is no inherent meaning to life.
i choose to continue living each day because a) i am still enjoying myself enough to stick around, b) i’m a chicken and nothing has motivated me to voluntarily face quicker death just yet, c) i am committed to not fucking up my kids in that particular way if i can continue to avoid it, and d) i do work that matters and eases the suffering of others to create meaning for myself.
be me, sneaking outside at work to vape while my coworker brings a literal gallon of coffee everyday.
nicotine certainly has been demonized in the last few decades.
you haven’t the faintest clue what i believe, but i see you habitually encouraging americans to fight each other instead of fight for change.
this shit sounds fake, your whole southern and midwestern narrative. i’m not even convinced you lived here, and i am sorry to run across you again.
omg, the dementia is so so apparent
why didn’t you stop your neighbors from evil when you lived here?
are each of your countrymen, wherever you are now, without fault?
you justify your own hatred and desire to harm, and so you will perpetuate the harm you experienced.
we can attack and punish each other as the few would like or work together. that requires us to acknowledge common humanity and rally together for our shared well-being.
there are bad and good people everywhere. i do not endorse painting millions as deserving suffering; there’s plenty of that already.
ordinary americans can find their way out of this mess together or tear each other apart. which do you imagine suits those in power?
you are no longer here. stop trying to sow further hatred and division. i don’t want my children, my friends, my colleagues, my clients to suffer because they live on the wrong side of an arbitrary line.
there are a lot of nice people in the south. there are a lot of brown people in the south. you think everyone needs to suffer brutality for what the worst do?
i don’t give them money but i’m on their email list. i just saw a request to donate that i dismissed and it went right to the article.
i have never known the intercept to paywall stuff?
probably direct support with your time and funding is a good idea, if you can. it certainly looks like federal grants are going away ☹️
btw, i’m not even sure she was trying to block anyone. in one video, you can see she waves and says “go around!” i think she was just trying to go the other way.
edit - i don’t know that that is what happened, just that there’s now footage from the agent’s phone. can’t really use audio at work.
still saw NOTHING justifying murder.
