Its so funny because this meme is just the flipped version of guys not knowing what “no makeup” actually looks like.

Trump can shut up and die, but this really should be investigated. If it turns out that the Harris campaign was just a grift for rich celebrities, heads should roll.

Good on Warren for saying this. I think that the attacks on Warren for staying in the 2020 primary were really overboard. She would have been a great candidate 🥲

I voted uncommitted in the primary but before that my plan was to write in Rashida Tlaib. Good to see she’s still at it

Yeah, now imagine there was a law on the books that required the executive to stop arming a regime that was committing human rights abuses. And now imagine that the Biden administration flagrantly ignored that law. Now you’re all caught up

I mean the administration is still debasing itself daily to keep arming a genocide. They’re not working very hard to harden things against trump, but they seem to still be hard at work making sure Israel has plenty of bombs. Maybe the centrists should have listened.

I understand not being from here you aren’t as familiar with these slogans and their context. Black Lives Matter as a movement is a movement against police violence that disproportionately impacts young men who are African Americans. Hispanic men and other minorities are also targeted by police, but to a lesser extent.

So the slogan Black Lives Matter is a specific condemnation of this situation. Black lives are disproportionately fucked up by police violence, they matter, ergo we need to do something about police violence.

All lives matter as a phrase, wasn’t used as a slogan or anything until after Black Lives Matter. It exists almost entirely in the context of Black Lives Matter, and is used almost exclusively to advocate against reforming the police and lowering the use of force against Black Americans. Its sole purpose is to try and discredit the motives of people advocating for less police violence in Black communities, by implying that by singling out Black lives is not ethically correct. The police act as though Black lives don’t matter, so by responding to that by saying All Lives Matter, all you are doing is trying to paper over the problem.

With those explanations out of the way, I think that Dems should not be saying All Lives Matter. It may work better among young white men, but you do so by ignoring a very real and dangerous aspect of the problem. If the Dems want to reach those young white men, I think the answer isn’t to water down the existing slogans, but to add legs of the platform to address separate issues.

Show young men how police corruption fucks their lives too. I remember growing up hearing how much worse ticketing and traffic stops are for young men, so that could be a way to push back. Police will do violence to your black friends, and on top of that they issue tickets to men at almost twice the rate they do to women. If that isn’t an in to get young men on board with police reform I don’t know what could be.

Please don’t take that as me saying women have it easier in traffic stops. Cops are horrible, and when cops are sexual predators they are just as dangerous as other predators but alsoalso have state authority to abuse. There have been stories of cops using police databases to stalk women and more, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring up men’s issues here too. Black lives matter, women need to be protected from cops abusing authority, and men shouldn’t be unfairly burdened by traffic tickets. Dems need to learn to find those parts of the problems and speak to them because all three problems can be tackled together.

I looked back over the 2020 primary data and Kamala dropped before she even got to the first vote, Warren continued to pull small groups of delegates after super tuesday. In a very real sense Elizabeth Warren beat the pants off Kamala in terms of the primary. I was really pushing for her early in 2020 because I felt she was a consensus candidate between the further left Bernie types and the centrist Buttigieg types.

I was lucky enough to have a friend send me an invite to the playtest. I’m not sure if that is the only way in or not

Been giving deadlock a shot, still playing dead by daylight, and for solo efforts I have Total War, Tomb Raider, and Rogue Trader going

The unfortunate corrolary to this is that if you are fueling your tasks with anger and caffeine, letting go of that anger can be supremely demotivating. Trying to be a healthier person to be around can turn around and sap your will for your efforts. At least that is how my experience has been.

My first instinct is yes, it is essentially flashing. On the other hand, I feel I would be way less likely to assign a sexual motive to mooning unless it was combined with some other sexual gesture or something.

“Sorry Ukraine, your war crimes pass is expired, we’ll be shipping these to Israel too”

Never have I ever clogged a toilet. Second flush has always been enough for me

I hope it would block the unfunny Trumper parody accounts that poke around on Lemmy

Second this, if you like X-Com style combat this will really hit the spot. Abilities stack and are comboable in really fun ways. The only complaint is that there is a lot of text in this game, which can be tough if you’re playing with friends, and six characters can be a lot to level up and equip.

Maybe something like “Hey neighbor, I noticed your trailer isn’t fully secured, I’ve got some wedges to block the tires if you don’t have anything”

Probably because Israel assassinated their last negotiator on Iranian soil

Counter overrun is itself an accident, so it is always technically correct

Trumps brain is going to end up in a gemcutting exhibit so people can marvel at its profound smoothness
