fixate on what you think you know... you're missing what you don't though.

  • upvoting because it needs discussion.

    I have weird grammatical issues with they/them - I am old, its oddly strange (despite some historical precedent)to me and I dont like being told what words I use to describe the world around me.

    so, I ask for a name. whatever name you give me, I use. tell me your name is "they". cool fucking beans, its the name I use. I find a way to be respectful of another human being and still make it make sense to me. I make it fit into my small goddamn ancient cranium and when I, and other ancients like me are dead and gone, I hope those who come after have fewer "issues" with it.

    if I can find ways to make it work then so can everyone else. tired of the right turning everyone into a real fucking snowflake. fuck anyone who chooses to divide people from people.

  • the neolibs scapgoat for a reason. they know that bidens fundamental betrayal of humanity sucked the soul out of left support for the dems. they literally beat the palestinians to death and then, with bloody hands, blamed those who turned away in disgust from the atrocity.

    my family got off our asses and voted against fascism (that means voting for a deeply flawed harris) because we knew it would get much worse for everyone, not just already brutalized peoples - but I cannot stand here and judge anyone who could not stomach sanctioning more dem brutality under a deeply broken political system.

    the effect of dem war barbarism may have been small but, combined with every other dem betrayal, it very well could have been the difference for a fascist win. the neolibs scapegoat to deflect their failures as human beings and their decades long capitulation to the intolerable.

    having said that, I have seen more life in the traditional conservative republican of late ( @underwater@sh.itjust.works is an example) - even a momentary recognition of ideological failure on their part and a willingness to align with more progressive ideas. I have massive differences with so many conservative viewpoints, but they are not maga, have been thoughtful in their approach and, right now, I will take any productive and functional alliance I can get. if the unlikely aftermath of trump is a coalition of people willing to truly reform the barbaric, pseudo democratic american institution, then so be it. I am deeply sceptical that we will have the chance to get there.

    sorry for the wall-o-text.

  • El Salvador won’t return wrongly deported Maryland man

    Jump

  • I am starting to think there was no "administrative error" here (but both malice and incompetence may apply). it is within reason to think that someone in the administration believed this guy was useful to prove the point.

    Salvadorian citizen with a standing protective court order the administration could flout. ship him off to a Salvadorian torture prison and the whole thing becomes murky, messy, with enough blured lines to tie things up in knots while justice and fairness are given the middle finger.

    regardless, I think we are now over the edge.
