make it happen ppl

Wilson's is a standard-issue neoliberal austerity budget. His proposal to cut four Portland Street Response staff is especially telling.

A today's read.

I think what's fun is seeing the contortionist moves to keep doubling down. It's like a little game of how will they avoid and evade the response.

Must be comfortable to thinks it's only abusers and abused who are racist bigots. Far less anxiety than accepting lots of normies are bigots.

I kinda like being petty with saneists. The most recent is some guy who says racism (he calls it bigotry) is a mental disorder caused by abuse, propoganda, toxicity, and cults.

Because each of those is the underlying foundation of a mental illness.

I know what you are saying. I've shown it's wrong and not based in data. Mental illness did not cause their bigotry.

I don't know what you are rambling about. You are just wrong that 33% of the US has mental disorders or illnesses. Even the stats on abuse and trauma don't match up.

Just sounds like you think racism and bigotry only is from the right.

Thanks, I'll take a listen cause I'm curious how it goes wrong. We have a men's anti patriarchy group that is always interested in such.

I really can't say. I was only involved for SURJs electoral campaign like with Mamdani before I left.

Thanks to Julia for her thoughtful piece on the end of SELF Magazine, with its longform, conversational articles about women's health. Here's why it's such a shame to see it go: 🧵

Woah look at the Pew research.

It took decades to make white tech guys I knew to stop using master/slave as lingo. Even in 2010s, I had to hear annoyed white guys debate language change as some incredible burden being forced on them.

I gotta remember to not take home care at their word.

New woman has 10 years exp, says she can't cook or follow a recipe, but can "prepare" food, and just put pasta into cold water.

I feel like I'm the jerk boss expecting more than that. Back to supervising and monitoring meal prep.

I stopped being petty. May be indulging myself too much.

I may be being petty?

I think it's funny his campaign didn't coach him. Heya since you had a Nazi tattoo, nix the arm raising.

That's depressingly real.

Fyi for others. That 1st screenshot is not by me. I redacted names and put alt text.

Lmao maybe don't use Jews for your own ableism.

What age did you start your 20K journey? I figured you started early from your birth to get that many R slurs in.

My job is not to teach people comprehension skills. I show the anti-Israel left that they have been manipulated by propaganda. I talk about nuance. Using ableism to silence victims of genocide, or to silence advocates of the truth is not progressive. It's childish, lazy, and problematic.

Lmao they're going off. It's all about Zionism and defending Jews.

Same person.

I just saw your post you used the R slur 20K times since 1978. So yes you are saying it is ok.

And now I understand why you invoked ableist Jews as your excuse.

Why do people get wierd about self diagnosis?

You may have a different opinion on this and that's okay, but I choose to weigh the good vs the bad. I do not believe that someone who spends their days defending Jews should be silenced because they use the word r*tarded. FYI, I was born in 1978 & I've probably said that word 20K times in my life.

Because Platner defends Jews (he has?), he get to use the R-slur just like Jews do! Booo cancel culture.

It's a wild thread.

So it's not ok? Why are you bringing up that some Jews use it?

Nice use of moron.

If you want to dig in that using the R slur is ok, good job?

Random aside, the author has been involved with SURJ and hyped as an exemplar of SURJs broader view of class-based, mass political change beyond Southern rural.

The QPs of the article are funny to see how people might read that.
