It is possible, and encouraged, to call your party out on their bullshit. Criticism is a very important tool in democracy.

Thank you!

They really should’ve focused on teaching Popper’s Paradox instead.

“Freedom of speech” is bullshit. She got to say what she wanted, and now she gets to get the grade she deserves.

This was the biggest failing of (at least) my generation (gen-x): we were only taught that we had a freedom of speech, but never taught that there still could be consequences.

The professor has the right to express their side, and unfortunately will probably suffer the consequences, thud negating the bad grade. This will only serve to embolden said psychology student to keep doing what they did, and other professors will allow it to happen, lest they suffer the same consequences themselves.

I used to say that the system is broken, but now I realize it’s merely working as intended.

It very much is a threat to all of us.

Oh you sweet summer child.

Even when Trump dies, there is somebody much worse waiting in the wings. 2028 is not going to be a salvation.

Who had Justice by Sheer Stupidity on their Bingo card for 2025?

I don’t typically do this, but this would be much better if a rooster was poking its head out of Trump’s mouth.

Is it me or does Trump look like he wants to suck a dick right now?

Thank you. 🙏

Out of the loop and I’m not creating a bluesky account for that link. What’s the context?

Goddamnit. I was having a good day until now.

I don’t understand the strategy of infuriating a swing state here.

The conservatives in my area are cheering this on, and with all the gerrymandering the GOP has been doing here, they’re banking on angry dems not being able to do anything but “drown in their liberal tears”.

This is huge.

I understand everyone’s hesitation, but this is still huge.

My fingers are crossed that she means it.

This bears repeating:

These issues are not mutually exclusive, and it is legitimately okay for one marginalized group to be concerned more for things that directly affect them. That does not in any way negate the urgency or importance of any other issues.

We need to stop treating everything going on as a binary (black and white) problem. That’s what they want us to do, and why we’re being bombarded with so many bad things all at once. They are purposely dividing us, and so far it’s working.

I just tried it myself and it’s definitely reader mode.

I think what this meme is saying is that the person who is calling the card a hoax is married to someone who is 32 years her senior, which implies she too is a victim of grooming as a young child. Even if she didn’t marry him until she was 20, it still reeks. But I don’t know about it, so I could be way off.

I’m thinking more than that. They too are simple pawns.

It’s a genuine conspiracy theory, but I sometimes feel like there is some overarching cabal that controls both sides (regardless of country of origin), so as to get both sides to concede their singular will.
