@BeAware I just want to play the MWII story.

I mean, okay, but is this the one that people want to play?

My wife told me about an app that will alert people to food that is about to be thrown away from restaurants and stores. For a little money, you can claim the food before then.

I started to wonder why do that?

Can't we just skip the middle man and just donate the food to the those who need it most?

Then I remembered that we live in a Capitalist society where making money from food scraps would be better than just looking out for your fellow human.

Imagine being part of a system that fights like this.

Where millions and millions of dollars are funneled into so many lawyers pockets to play games with working class Americans.

People see this as an attack against Democrats.

This is an attack against all working class people no matter who they vote for because they're saying “We get the ultimate say in who's running and winning the Presidency.”

Too principled?

This is a self-proclaimed Zionist who is actively killing thousands of people and is inviting the architect to speak to Congress.

This is a man who could have gotten his party in line to end the filibuster and pass laws protecting Roe.

This is a man who claims the economy is good while thousands are still out of work and the price of living is too damn high.

Yeah.

I'll pass.

What Europeans don't understand, as most of them are white, is that the US has already descended into fascism.

With recent Supreme Court decisions, corporations will no longer have to answer to gov't agencies with professionals when it comes to enforcing laws.

All of our decisions are being made by the ultra wealthy.

The capitalist machine we've have grown to love here has already descended us into fascism.

White folks here and abroad just haven't seen it yet.

#Meta is losing its mind or here!

According to them, #Palestinians are dangerous?!

The fuck outta here with this bullshit!

@Tinu I feel like a calling in life for me is to make white folks uncomfortable.

I hope I'm doing a good job!

I saw something the other day that's been living rent free in my head and it goes back to the 2022 Twitter migration when it came to Black people.

Someone said that people should tag posts about US politics with a content warning for a number of reasons.

It was giving "Tag Black trauma in content warnings because it bums us white people out."

Look, if you don't like to see people talk against the stats quo, just say that.

The media has been failing our “democracy".

Since people like this date a lot, look at October 7th.

The media has been holding water for Israel this whole time.

No mentions of Palestine and its resistance.

No mentions of Congo.

No mentions of Sudan.

But I'm glad Liberals finally get to see how dishonest ruling class media is being if only because it was only unfair to them.

A little worrying to see people holding water for Democrats still.

"We gotta hold them accountable."

What do you think we've been doing this entire time?

We didn't want Biden in 2020, but gave him a chance on y'all's recommendation only for marginalized folks to get fucked anyway.

Now billions are being sent to wipe a country off the map when that could be spent at home.

When the ruling class doesn't want to listen, they won't listen.

Time to fuck up the bag and the vote!

Y'all still worried about people sitting out and voting third party instead of actually maybe understanding why we want to sit it out or vote the way we are.

Like, a whole city in Michigan is trying to tell you why, but y'all would rather shout and them and tell them they are wasting their votes while they watch family members die.

People are still dying of a deadly virus because Biden declared the pandemic over.

Women lost bodily autonomy.

Y'all sitting here worried about Project 2025.

I need a more effective way of releasing my rage.

While yelling at police officers is a way to do it, I don't think that tactic is sustainable.

Exploiting creators on your platform for disabilities and cancer should land you
in the deepest part of Hell!

Remember when law enforcement wanted (and still wants) a back door into private communications.

This is why we shouldn't give it to them.
