One of my controversial takes is that I kind of hate the term "rejection sensitive dysphoria" wrt adhd because it's so clearly the same thing as being anxious and insecure in relationships w trauma based disorders but people talk about it like it's just an intrinsic part of your brain that you're simply Too Sensitive & not, like, a consequence of every neurodivergent person alive being bullied as a child. Like that thing of how there aren't any non-traumatized autistic people to study

[tlirsgender]

Like if you have Struggles Socially Disorder you're going to be disliked by most of your peers growing up & you'll be affected by this. Maybe you'll get nervous about people not liking you. & then people will try and tell you your problem is that you have Sensitive Bitch Disorder because you're paranoid

interesting choice of photos. no clarification that before things escalated ICE was cruising around in military vehicles firing warning shots at people literally just walking by and hit protesters with vehicles. the protests turned violent when the national guard showed up.

here is a video from two days ago I screen recorded from a news report:

to be clear i'm not denouncing violent protests. just pointing out the narrative is already being twisted.

[yiddishfisting]

they all need to spontaneously combust immediately

[yiddishfisting]

the flotilla sure did piss them off huh

[catgirlcaliphate]

Just to expand on this for everyone reading:

They're mad as hell that there was too much international attention on this ship, with too many high profile people on board, for them to attack the ship with impunity.

Israel has no compunction about murdering aid workers and activists in cold blood, but they prefer to do it while nobody is watching quite so closely.

Delivering the aid would have been the best case scenario for the Madleen and her crew, but the real mission was to challenge Israel's control of the narrative, and they've succeeded at that.

Hence the tantrums and the middle school insults.

It's important to remember that Luigi Mangione is being framed for murder. The "evidence" they have on him is absolute clown shoes absurd.

They're trying to win this by swaying public opinion. That's why they're doing movie deals about it and staging ridiculous photo ops.

They're gonna try to give this kid the death penalty to cover up for their own gross incompetence and in the hopes that they scare the working class out of trying to fight back.

Please don't help them do this by using his name as a synonym for political assassinations. Please do not perpetuate the idea that he's guilty.

[deramin2]

The person who committed that assassination is the Claims Adjuster. They have not proved in a court of law beyond a doubt that Luigi Mangione is the Claims Adjuster, and it is your civic duty to consider people innocent until proven guilty. Fairness or justice inherent to the Justice System aside, none of that matters if people won't even respect presumed innocence in the first place. It's a keystone holding up every other debate.

The cops were fucking embarrassing themselves in a manhunt where it was abundantly clear that they had lost their guy. And then they suddenly nab this guy at a McDonald's who suddenly got sloppy and it just so happens they found every bit of evidence they needed while they were alone with his bag with no one to corroborate the search. That is genuinely some of the most obviously staged that evidence has ever been in a high profile trial, and that's saying something. They worked harder and were less sloppy while persecuting the Black Panthers.

Everything they've done since has been a massive violation of Luigi's rights, and one of which should reasonably get the entire trial thrown out. And yet even people who claim to support The Claims Adjuster and Luigi and claim to be abolitionists are just wholesale buying and repeating the cops story. Do not. Don't let them get away with it. Whatever legal or social precedent they're allowed to set here will be used against everyone else the cops want to use as a pawn.

Do not do the cops' work for them. If you want to talk about the murderer, talk about The Claims Adjuster, but stop talking like we know it was Luigi. We don't.

greta thunberg, liam cunningham, rima hassan, and everyone else on that ship, thank you, and i hope you succeed. i really hope you succeed. you know what you are risking, and i wish for you to come back safely, having done what you set out to do.

[queerstudiesnatural]

for those who don't know, the freedom flotilla, a ship headed to gaza to try and get some aid past the israeli siege, just left with among its crew swedish activist greta thunberg, irish actor liam cunningham, and french member of the european parliament rima hassan.

the ship has already been bombed twice during previous attempts at approaching gaza.

my only hope is that if we make enough noise this time, israel won't dare bomb it with such prominent international figures on board, from fear of making them martyrs and turning the rest of the world against them.

so talk about it, post about it, and expect, demand their mission to succeed and their safe return 🙏

the only power we have is political and economic pressure at this point. ethics are out of the picture when it comes to the israeli government. so we need to make it clear that bombing this ship would be a declaration of war against europe.

[playitandmakeitsincere]

The activists on the boat have been abducted - if you are UK-based, please use this template to email your MP urgently and demand the UK uphold its responsibility to protect the ship.

"you're occupying a space that is not your own" and then you proceed to try to tell other people how to exist in it as though that's your right 🤣 boy silence truly is the sound of gentrification. Y'all got to learn to control your OWN behavior (i.e., putting in your OWN headphones so you can't hear anything else) instead of demanding the world conform to you.

Ooooh that’s why you asked. lol.

Thinking about how when the Oceangate sub imploded, the coastguard picked it up on their radar and knew from the moment it happened that everyone on board was already gone, and yet there was still a five day manhunt.

And how like a week before that, a refugee ship sank off the coast of Greece, whose officials knew this was happening and had ships within reach, but intentionally did nothing.

And how there was like the most expansive manhunt in recent history to find a suspect in the UHC shooting. In a city known for its unsolved crimes. How Briana Boston was arrested for a vaguely perceived threat to a CEO she wasn't even speaking to nor mentioned, while internet stalkers are never addressed unless they hurt someone, and then it's a maybe

And just how there is always money to perform for the rich, even when they can't actually be helped. And there is never money to help the poor, no matter how easy they would be to save.

And for some reason it's considered "dangerous and extreme" to want a world where our lives aren't just fodder at the whims of the rich.

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

thinking about when my professor told me how the boards of companies/orgs/etc. will sometimes hire on a CEO/whatever who they know will basically take a chainsaw to existing infrastructure, let them fuck as much shit up as possible, and then promptly fire them as soon as they've accomplished what the board wanted them to do. then they can point the finger at that guy & look like they're the heroes and the problem is resolved because he's gone now. and they still get to keep all the changes they wanted that nobody else did.

anyway I think it's fun and all to watch the two most divorced men on the planet publicly divorce each other. and also. maybe keep that in mind, is all.

[nothorses]

guys come on they think we're so fucking stupid.

[quasi-normalcy]

This is also something Machiavelli recommended; when you take over a city, you should put a complete monster in charge, let him terrorize everyone for a few months, and then step in looking scandalized at his "excesses" and getting rid of him. That way, everyone's so relieved just not to be living under super-tyranny that they forget that they're still living under tyranny.

Hey just a quick check in- now that musk is like severely imploding on trump and their severed ties

Yall won't forget this part right?

Yall won't forget he's still a massive scumbag right? That he's still a nazi right? That won't get lost in translation right???

(I don't THINK it'll get forgotten but I really want to remind people that just because Musk is now bashing trump for all the shit we've known about him for awhile that we don't forget he was complicit. If anything his bashing and airing out trumps laundry makes it worse, because he KNEW all that and still worked with him.)
