Trans women will never be free until people stop having strong emotions about penises. Like we, as a society, have got to stop caring about dicks! Dicks have to stop symbolizing maleness, obviously, but they also have to stop symbolizing power, dominance, sexual agency and aggression, violence, and even sex itself. Like trans women can’t be free if the very conceptual presence of a penis represents an intrusion(!) of unwanted(!) sexuality(!) in public life. Like that’s why trans women are abhorrent to both male chauvinists and radical feminists, because both groups have extremely strong feelings about what a penis *represents*, and find the conceptual and actual presence of a woman with a penis to be simultaneously vile and nonsensical because they’ve loaded so much symbolic baggage onto both women and penises.

Anyway dicks are totally neutral body parts and seeing a dick, or a bulge in a swimsuit, or simply knowing that there’s a dick somewhere in the same bathroom as you isn’t harmful or violent

I've been saying for literally decades now, but ranked choice voting is the only way forward.

Emphasizing that the threat against Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem remained active and ongoing, the FBI issued a statement Friday warning that a second California senator was still at large. “While Alex Padilla has been safely taken into custody, we urge the public to be on the lookout for an additional, extremely dangerous senator from the same state who remains able to voice opinions if given the opportunity,” said an FBI spokesperson, who displayed a composite drawing of an older man in a navy blue suit and explained that the sketch had been based on eyewitness descriptions of the fugitive senator.

Triumphantly planting the pole firmly into the ground, U.S. Marines reportedly raised the American flag outside a cell phone store Thursday after defeating a group of skateboarding teenagers. “Victory!” cried out 1st Lt. Eric Mullaney, who wiped the sweat and grime from his brow and gazed up at the poignant sight of the billowing Stars and Stripes as it flew outside the small but strategic city strip mall.

But don’t do that. For real, you don’t even wanna know how gross that dollar is. Keep it away from your mouth!

Ive been seeing a lot of posts about how the "live action" httyd movie is actually really good because it's basically a one-for-one shot of the original minus some key scenes and "who cares if its a cash grab cuz I enjoyed it" and like. Correct me if im wrong but shouldn't we not support blatant cash grab remakes who prey on your feelings of nostalgia and make a lazy attempt to take your money? Didn't we condemn a lot of Disney remakes for being soulless rehashes of the original?

How to train your dragon is a beautiful movie and it deserves better than a pointless remake to take your money. You deserve better. Put yout dollar where your mouth is.

Do not let this empire toss away your humanity. Do not let this shit empire stop you from empathizing with the victims of American foreign policy.

America is a fascist state. Empathize with people they tell you are the enemy, the “radical” left and victims (people of color, muslims, those exploited by american capitalist interest) .

Moderates who are still pro fascism are still fascists. Those who are for this pointless war spurned by a genocidal imperial vassal state should not be trusted.

You are a human being. Every Muslim in Iran facing American bombs is being targeted for imperialist interests. Listen to a fucking leftist or the victims of imperialism.

You have more in common with them than those in power telling you Iranians are the enemy, as they’d gladly toss you aside, jail you, or kill you as well if you’re inconvenient. Biden starter the work to deport Pro Palestinian protestors and, well.

I could go on

Every democrat who went along with anti *insert BLM, Free palestine, occupy wall street, etc* protest rhetoric and labeled them “radical left” or far left extremist help got us here btw. I know dem defenders love to whine about how “well the republicans are in power-“ you need to examine what the fucking democrats did with power to understand how we got here. Biden increased ICE and police funding.

He did not dismantle the aparatus Trump is now using, he fucking Funded and expanded it. Leftists were talking about this for a god damn while and now you should listen.

The democratic party will not save you, in fact it damned you and brought you here.
