I wasn’t even excited for tonight’s #dnc but they are again way exceeding my expectations.

#dnc2024

Trump is watching Hillary right now somewhere SEETHING.

Just bask in the knowledge of that for a second.

The guy killed someone!

Who cares if it was intentional murder of a child or self-defense against a rapist, the law isn’t related to morality!

Or maybe these legal distinctions matter to how we frame them morally.

I want the conflict in #Gaza to end but the single-issue #Gaza voters act like the situation isn't nuanced.

Not everyone agrees there is a genocide going on. Genocide has a specific legal definition. Outside observers can *at best* guess at whether the requisite elements exist.

The whole "How can you support genocide?" reply on anything political is just about the dumbest, most mind-numbing position to parrot.

Stop being lazy and engage the issue or gtfo.

@waitworry @saddestrobots

I think it very well could be a genocide and think it should stop, and that we should stop supplying weapons—but it isn’t some black and white situation compelling us to act. There is space to disagree and most people do.

@waitworry @saddestrobots

Yeah it does mean something if it isn’t genocide.

Civilian death can be justified under IHL. It doesn’t mean civilians dying is a good thing, but it doesn’t mean that the US is obligated to act.

So if people don’t agree it’s genocide, then there is room for them to sit where they think it’s bad, but it’s not bad enough for them to act. If it’s genocide, there is no justification.

@saddestrobots @waitworry

I think the most proximate starting point for the immediate conflict would be the civilian massacre by Hamas.

Otherwise we can just go around in circles because every act and reaction has justified the next for thousands of years.

No, the main reason people disagree is because there is actual disagreement and not everyone has to think and value the same things you do.

The first thing you need to know about Elon Musk to truly understand him is that if we taxed the fuck out of him we wouldn't care what he thought about anything.

If you haven’t been paying attention, #Ukraine launched a serious invasion into #Russia supported by around 10,000 troops.

“It’s more clear by the hour that what’s happening in Kursk isn’t a raid: it really is an invasion.”

#MastodonForHarris has achieved $450,000 in donations!

https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

As promised, I have adopted the exceptional Senator Sherrod Brown, who is perhaps second only to Tammy Baldwin in “wow this person is the perfect representative for this state.”

And it’s why he is going to win again.

#MastodonForHarris is about to reach $450,000.

I pledged to adopt a Senator for recurring donations at every 100k but surprise: I AM A LIAR!🤥

I am instead going to do it at every $50,000 because 🤷♂️

#MastodonForHarris has reached $400,000 after an initial goal of just $1,000.

As pledged, I smashed that subscribe button for Senator Tammy Baldwin, perhaps the greatest representative Wisconsin will ever have.

Next Senator gets adopted at $500,000!

Vice President Harris’s campaign has announced they have raised $200+ million and signed up 170,000 volunteers since #Biden announced he was stepping aside.

An insane amount in the final stretch.

#Biden moments away from addressing the nation on his decision to stand down from the 2024 #election.

If you think he has earned a beer for ~50 years of public service, donate $5 to help elect VP #Harris (and show #Mastodon is worth looking at)!

Or, you know, a six-pack for $30. 😇

@heidilifeldman has started this #MastodonForHarris ActBlue fundraiser and it is blowing past expectations, approaching $200,000 as we speak!

#uspol #politics #uspolitics

If you haven't already, or perhaps if you want to again, @heidilifeldman has a #MastodonForHarris #actblue campaign to raise funds going on.

I think the goal was $1,000 (lol) but we're going to the moon.
