Bigotry is not a disease.
Bigotry is a symptom of precisely zero diseases, disorders, or illnesses.
These comparisons are ableism. People with actual diseases are just trying to exist.
I am just once again asking people to read like two sentences about interest convergence. Everything is a conspiracy when you don't understand how anything works. It doesn't excuse any of the horrors. It does explain most of them a lot more easily though.
@suchnerve “I don’t want to wear a mask all the time” Alright. Would you please wear it sometimes? Sometimes > never. Like just keep one in your bag, and put it on when you’re in an extra crowded place maybe?
A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.
Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.

HEARTBREAKING! My little boy is going blind in Gaza. His eyes are fading away. I beg you on my knees, please help me save his sight before it’s too late. I can't bear to see him in darkness forever. Please, have mercy! SAVE HIS EYES!

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"
No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Ugly Christmas Sweater. "Jolly. Let me tell you how jolly you've made me since i began to celebrate. There are 387.44 million miles of festive garlands that adorn my complex. If the word jolly was engraved on each flake of tinsel of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the christmas spirit i feel for you at this merry moment. Jolly. Jolly."
The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly
The problem is not that people who aren't smart have power.
The people who actually have the power and are pulling the strings are extremely clever and also patient but even if they weren't, not being good at school would not be why they're such horrible people.
Your worth is not determined by your health.
Your worth is not determined by your job, marital status or economic output.
Everyone is deserving of shelter, food, healthcare and social supports.
No one should have to “earn them”.
When basic needs are met, society is better off.

It's because alt text requires an understanding of context and LLMs cannot do that.
🇸🇩 REPORT | At least 13 people, including eight children, were killed after a drone strike hit a family home in the city of el-Obeid, according to the Sudan Doctors’ Network. They said most of the victims were from the same family and accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out the attack in a residential neighborhood. El-Obeid remains under Sudanese army control but has been a key RSF target due to its strategic location between Khartoum and Darfur, where the RSF has established a parallel administration. The strike follows recent RSF attacks on a power plant in el-Obeid and an alleged attempted drone attack on the Merowe hydroelectric dam, the country’s largest according to the BBC. The war, now nearing its third year, has displaced more than 11 million people and is described by the UN as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
1/ I don't mean this as a call out of this specific person because I think this is a very common sentiment.
Capitalist democracy is first capitalist and then democratic. The trappings of democracy that we do have in the US can be powerful, but they are also a convenient way to disperse blame
If the murder of Renee Nicole Good makes you say “abolish ICE,” but the murder of George Floyd didn’t make you say “abolish cops,” ask yourself why and try to learn from it
Today's quick update [Jan 8]:
- SAF drone strike on a market in Bayam Kasha, South Kordofan on Tuesday; per Darfur 24, more than 20 civilians reported killed.
