Sigh. My mom turns eighty soon and I've got to travel to the US soon... but I really fucking wish I didn't have to

A lot.

I know there's a proportion that were simply ignorant and tuned out of politics... but most Trump voters did so over the very loud objections of trans relatives or while openly embracing the nativism.

Lastly, I think that Harris did a terrible job advocating for her election and she owns a fair portion of the blame as well.

Trump wasn't an unknown this time. He attempted to subvert our election process and he's a convicted rapist. He openly embraced corruption during his last term and is already shilling crypto bullshit.

Trump voters are terrible selfish people - end of story.

I think you're well aware that small political differences shouldn't get in the way of family and have worked to be tolerant in the past.

You're not an asshole. You're an adult. You shouldn't do this lightly but if you've given this serious consideration you should follow your heart.

I genuinely think most people are unfamiliar with AIM and the absolutely disastrous raid. But I'm right with you in celebrating his freedom.

I missed this among the others and it's extremely overdo but I'm glad he's finally getting some relief.

The ADL considers anti-zionism to be antisemitic.

I literally don't give a shit what the ADL thinks.

There are no requirements.

I'd advise that if you're making a parody site you have some disclosure of that fact pretty accessible on your website (it doesn't need to be front and center but it needs to be reasonably discoverable).

I agree in principle. Personally, I think Canada needs to pivot hard to being much closer to the EU. However, that approach will take too much time and bear out a lot of pain before we're done.

In the short term though, Trump is a bully so responding to tariffs with anything other than escalation is likely to attract more tariffs and economic damage.

His response has three (I think?) four letter words. None of them I'd classify as a fucking four letter word in that tone.

Thanks, Obama.

No, fuck religion. Religion is the source of so many of our modern problems. People need more practice at rational thinking and religion often discourages that.

I'm fine with having better community but it's like... a really simple problem. Look at Spain, everyone spends their free time in common spaces where they develop relationships with their communities are stronger for it.

What we fucking need is less cars and more parks and plazas - we don't need a church meddling in our shit.

I guess my objection is that a copy editor found it meaningful to specifically say there were eighteen states... they didn't say "multiple" or something else vague.

If the fact that there are eighteen is important than what those eighteen are is important.
