On a recent episode of Behind the Bastards, the host talked about how abusers were able to infiltrate the left in Germany after the war. They were able to hijack a good movement that was antifascist. They warped it in the worst possible way.

I know a lot of the privacy violating shit in tech is just on accident. But I wonder how much of it is just shitty dudes thinking of new ways to sneak in shit to abuse their partner and kids more effectively.

How the fuck did Democrats make the upside down flag about decorum instead of, you know, the fascist coup these fucking ghouls tried on 1/6 and will continue to try until we force them back? They sure don’t seem to be taking it seriously.

The videos of Israelis destroying food aid meant for Gaza is absolutely enraging. These are the same sadistic fucks that become cops in the US to tear down unhoused people’s tents.

@khalidabuhakmeh revealed in the latest @breakpointshow that his standards for new hires went down the longer he was a manager (to give people a chance).

As someone who he hired later in his tenure, I'm glad that I met him when the world had worn him down enough to hire a train wreck like me.

I miss paid work and I miss Khalid. :(

Care giving is hard.

I’m really just dumbfounded at the decision to die on the “I will back Benjamin Netanyahu unconditionally” hill.

Honestly just baffling.

Labeling people protesting for Palestinians as “pro Hamas” is gross and obvious newspeak.

The people protesting seem to not want their tax dollars spent to kill, starve, and maim children.

Way to motivate the youths to vote Dem by… banning TikTok. Genius political maneuver.

I can see voting for Eugen Debs as a third party candidate.

I don't understand why anyone would vote for the anti-vaccine crank and all around dipshit RFK Jr.

I really don't think forcing TikTok out of the US is going to do Biden any favors in this election.

We are telling them to stop and don’t do this. You attacked a diplomatic mission, retaliation was inevitable and Irans response was relatively muted given it was in the form of easily shot down munitions.

Given that the US and the UK did a lot of the shoot downs of the drones, Israel seems like a chihuahua that barks and barks and gets into fights that its owner has to clean up.

We shouldn’t shield them again if they go on barking.

Ukraine not conscripting anyone younger than 26 seems insane to me. Yeah, it sucks to sacrifice the younger generation to this war, and it is nice to see a state trying to save its younger generation.

But I think most states would not hesitate to conscript all men of age in the event of a massive invasion. And 18 year olds are just in better shape than 40 year olds.

Just a weird dynamic.

I’m not going to say antivaxers are the worst people around. But they are in competition.

I despise RFK Jr. His antivax bullshit alone makes him a villain with a huge body count. Now he is repeating Russian propaganda about Ukraine. Maybe he will start shilling crypto and LLMs to just complete the villainy.

Fucking dipshit fail son.

I don’t see Israel recovering from this war. They’ve burned all of the good will they had after the 7th. They don’t control the narrative anymore.

I will never forget the interview I listened to of Refaat Alareer on Popular Front. His kids screaming in the background as bombs exploded in the neighborhood. I remember thinking “this man is a dead man” and he just seemed like a decent man trying to live his life. He died soon after.

I think many people have had moments like that.

I have a bunch of alcoholics in my family. I’ve never shown a propensity for it, but I’m still wary of it.

So I’ve avoided alcohol, especially at home, since I started care giving full time. Life is too depressing and stressful that I’m afraid that I’d lean on alcohol for an escape. Which wouldn’t be good given the fact that I’m the only thing keeping us going.

Recently I’ve been drinking Guiness’s nonalcoholic beer with some meals and it has been delightful. Beer just enhances meals.

I wish we had politicians that were more ambitious in their program. I don’t just want Roe codified*, I want us to all have bodily autonomy.

Give people the ability to do what they want with their own bodies. This means aid in dying, free healthcare for all, trans rights, legalization of sex work, the destruction of the prison industrial complex, etc.

• I don’t think that the Supreme Court will let it stand either way, defang the fucking Court.

Airdropping provisions to gaza has to be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Why? The Israelis are wholly dependent on American support. Tell them that they need to let in supplies and stop their genocide or we pull our support. This isn't hard.

Netanyahu is not your BFF Joe. He is a fascist thug. And he is going to get his fascist buddy Trump elected if you keep on supporting the fucker.

I don't get the love for Willis.

She did something incredibly stupid and jeopardized a case about overthrowing the government by the former President.

It just smacks of extreme arrogance and foolishness. It doesn't matter if it is legal or ethical. Even the appearance of impropriety is something you want to avoid in this situation because the stakes are so high.
