I was wondering if I missed something, but after one search, the revelation came that this happened around 150 years ago

I really wanna see that now

I really like this bit by Jon Stewart, because he really talked about exactly this, about the huge hypocrisy which I feel like no-one else really talks about or even acknowledges, that the Republicans constantly talk about free speech but actually behave in an infinitely more authoritarian and speech - restricting way than anyone else in the US would actually do.
Hearing someone else just speak that out load feels so good to me: Jon Stewart on Which Speech Is Free and Which Will Cost You in Trump’s America

I do see that point of view, but honestly, I think it's totally valid and understandable to point this out whenever they're mentioned.

Yeah, the person was actually… not a nice person at all. This wasn't referring to you as well, but rather just something this post reminded me of, as both are about gender-non-conforming trans people.
And he explicitly used that word himself, that's why I used it. Afaik it can be used in a super transphobic way, but also as a normal word if it refers to femboys (at least I know / knew some using it to refer to themselves), but tell me if you know differently about it.

Context? Who's that and what does he have to do with this post?

In what world are the democrats running on a socio-politically progressive platform? I mean just look at the book bans, the war against trans people, and how the democrats are doing against all that. It would win election, but honestly, Biden has been more left-wing on financial positions than socio-political ones, just see student debt forgiveness, child tax credit, antitrust measures, etc.

Friends hate this one simple trick!

I immediately thought the same, and honestly that's sad. This would be a really nice art style for an actual artist to use.

 

So why did we do stop the steal? Why did anyone go to January 6th? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that are involved? Why did that need to happen? If you’re just going to walk it all back and say, “oh, I lost.”
Well, that would have been good to know that before 1600 people got charged! It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, put out a no fly list, banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing!
Would have been good to know that. Before I, you know, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year old in college. Just feels like a big rip off!
