Jenna Jacobin - Feminist Revival Arc ♀️☯️

Didn't the right-wing conservatives in this country believe in hiring the best-qualified candidates based on their merits? It's just so strange that this would be an organic thought process for someone. Even worse is the weird attempt to project your feelings onto this person as a show of empathy, since it's super obvious you don't care about them at all. I thought you all were done with empathy? I thought it was toxic? Nice sweeping generalization about trans activists here too. Not sure how that relates to this person who applied to work at your workplace, though. So, that just looks like you're laundering in some narrative you want to spin. Compelled speech? Are we really still doing that shit? Is there some sort of gun to your head forcing you to speak? Under the definitions many of you have given me over the years for "compelled speech", simply using someone's shorten preferred name would qualify. So would calling an MD 'doctor' even. Neat how that compelled speech thing applies in some cases but not others. "Their demands impact everyone around them. Nobody wants to walk on eggshells at work." What demands are being made by trans people that make you feel like you're "walking on eggshells"? If being a normal person who engages in basic, reciprocal social humanity is so offensive to you, perhaps you're the problem in this situation. Not even a TRA, by the way; this is just ridiculous. It's mind-blowing that I walk this Earth with people like you who think this kind of stupid shit. I 99% doubt it ever even happened in the first place.

I finally finished building the Ferrari 488 GTE AF Corse #51 It's 19x9 in size. It has a legit independent front and rear suspension. Functional V8 engine. It's super neat that I was able to get a legit retired LEGO build for super cheap.

I was checking out my old binder of Pokémon cards from my youth. At some point, I remembered that they redesigned this Pokémon. Can anyone understand why?

I love that my new House rep has been a rep-elect for only five days, and yet I'm contacting him about not supporting Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker of the House, lol.

I just wanted to note Abdul El-Sayed's 7% win. He faced the worst kind of Islamophobia I've ever witnessed in a campaign. He was a leftist insurgent candidate, tapped into Hasan Piker's ability to turn out a grassroots effort, beat the neolibs ' preferred candidate in Haley Stevens, watched Haley Stevens crash out at the very end, and still won by 7 points. This dude was being painted as unelectable, too radical for Michigan, a surrogate of the Muslim Brotherhood, having dual loyalties, smeared with every possible thing that Hasan Piker did or did not do. And anyone who supported him received harassment or even doxxing. Well, fuck you neolibs. Get lost. Take a seat. Shut the fuck up. Medicare for All was a winning message in nearly every race last night. Oh yeah, welcome Darializa and the other DSA members to the House as well. Who I'm sure will do us just right by speaking their minds. Welcome to the new Democratic Party.

Hell yeah! Peggy Flanagan to the Senate. She's super progressive for Minnesota.

Nice, my conservative parents voted down the ticket for the Democrats. I fucking love it.

Kind of ironic that this "Unity" event disaster turned into a true unity moment for the Democrats at the expense of her career and self-respect, lmao.

This is political fanaticism. She became so obsessed with protecting the Zionist government of Israel that she quite literally destroyed her career and everything she's worked for in her life over it. Ive never seen something like this from a politician before.

It's fucking awesome watching Haley Stevens light her political career on fire live on television today, lmao. I guess she can go be a lobbyist for AIPAC, or perhaps be on Fox and Friends in the morning, lmao. Fucking wild.

Mostly agree with it. I dislike Plato and mostly enjoy what I've read from Hannah Arendt, so it got that right. It's hard to say where I stand on many of the questions. Questions about moral truths, cultural relativism, and free will are difficult.

I'm never really super confident in Elections since Trump first got elected. I'm always prepared to be disappointed. But I hope deep down that all the leftist DSA-like candidates win. Not so I can fuck with MAGA on here, but so I can fuck with the neolib dipshits who've spent the past six months demonizing literally anyone and everyone who wants more than the status quo incrementalism from the Democrats. Christ, god forbid people want universal healthcare and also don't support a genocide. Can't have that, I guess. I hope it goes the way I want, though. Like, if that happened, I'd be so fucking happy.

I got these super cute Hatsune Miku figures in the mail today. I fucking love them; they are so adorable! 💙💚

Two older men in my parking lot rolled their eyes at me while I hung up my "My Body, My Choice" flag that has a large feminist pride symbol on it. I fucking laughed 🤣 A bit sensitive if you're annoyed at the thought of a woman exercising her right to bodily autonomy ♀️💪🏻

You know the easiest way to tell that someone has never actually thoroughly read the Constitution? They say stupid shit like this. Literally all of the screed here is antithetical to the Constitution and what the framers were striving for, which was a society protective of all religions and also those who are secular. Did you ever pay attention in history class to understand one of their largest criticisms of the English Crown? I'm guessing not. And no, your God has nothing to do with our freedoms in the Constitution. That's straight-up copium right there.

Wow, crazy. I decided to check the boycott list to actually see which companies are on it. I use 8 of them almost daily. My anxiety medication, Klonopin, is made by Teva Pharmaceuticals. It's the only manufacturer I can take because other manufacturers' binding agents cause negative effects. Well, fuck it. I was considering burning this card anyway. I don't need some political organization to tell me whether or not I'm a leftist or a socialist, or to validate my beliefs. I hate this stupid purity-testing bullshit.

I enjoy speaking to and even befriending people who, on paper at least, I shouldn't get along with. My entire adult life, I've sought friendships with people whose politics and religious beliefs are the opposite of mine. I enjoy learning how and why they believe what they do. I try to appreciate it from their perspective. Ultimately, it will either test my beliefs and strengthen my confidence in them, or leave me with a new perspective to consider deeply. Often times Ive found many such friendships to be the most meaningful in my life.

First time early voting is offered in my state. I decided to get the stress off my shoulders and get it over with. Peggy Flanagan was the only progressive voice on the ballot. Otherwise, this was in honor of Alice Paul and the Silent Sentinels for the 19th Amendment.

240-question political compass test. And this was my result. It's really funny because, honestly, I'm far more conservative on many issues than I lead on. I'm very economically left, a pacifist, and favor liberty/freedom above all else. Fascinating, though.
