Zohran Mamdani is using New York City to show the world how progressive policies work for everyone. #DemocraticSocialist

[contemplatingoutlander]

Well, he's showing the 21st Century US how progressive policies work. The rest of the wealthy, developed nations already know how well they work. And Americans in the 20th century when FDR and LBJ were presidents understood how well they worked.

Reagan and the GOP spent 50 years brainwashing Americans into thinking that the government is the enemy, and we will all be prosperous if we give the rich tax breaks and let the money "trickle down."

And so now we have Trump, who gave the rich huge tax breaks, which led to a spiraling deficit, and Trump cutting back on Medicaid, ACA support, SNAP, and other social benefits in order to have enough moneyto fund ICE, his war, his ballroom, etc.

When are working class MAGA going to realize they've been played by decades of GOP propaganda?

Yes yes i know love is love. But they are still killing CHILDREN. over this.

"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase

Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.

Tumblr has been deleting a lot of Palestinian blogs in the past 24 hours. Two of my friends have had their blogs deleted. Last night Ahmed remade and had his blog deleted 30 minutes later. Today, my friend Fadel had his blog deleted.

Fundraising on tumblr is survival. When tumblr deletes the blogs of people in Gaza, that is participation in genocide. It is unconscionable.

Fadel's new blog is @fadell-aldany. Please follow him there and send him a message of encouragement. He has been on tumblr for years and has lost all of his connections.

He's in the hospital because his blood count is so low from going too long without his blood medication and proper nutrition. He desperately needs funds, and he cannot raise them if no one finds his blog. Fadel's campaign (gazavetters #197) is hosted by a friend of mine. I am texting with Fadel right now as I type this, and I personally can confirm that this new account is really him.

Please help him find his previous followers!

You should never forget that Israel is a murderer of children.

The first LGBT group I ever joined asked me to leave because they didn’t consider asexual to count as queer. It wasn’t visible enough to them. And more than that, they were concerned that I was a CisHet man only using the label of asexual to sneak into what was meant to be a safe space

Now that I’m out and transitioned, I still run up against this suspicion that I’m just infiltrating spaces and making them dangerous for the people they’re meant to protect

I’m tired of being seen as a predator when I’m just trying to exist

EVERY SINGLE TIME they like a pride post?

Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

Trans related meme I found on Pinterest

this pride month I'm gonna need everyone to be radically pro transgender and also pro intersex and also pro ace and aro spec peoples thanks

I wish more people understood that plenty of people get sexual pleasure from giving other people sexual pleasure and that a way of giving sexual pleasure can be by receiving it.

There are so many different ways people experience and give sexual pleasure and just because they don't look/sound like someone giving/receiving pleasure to you doesn't mean they aren't.

It doesn't mean those people don't care about their partner/s or are "selfish" or "lazy". It just means different people like and experience different things differently. As is their right.

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity

[carewitchproject]

this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about

[queenofthestarrrswrites]

if i had a nickel for every time that the ATLA franchise realized that

living in a society where some people can literally manipulate the elements and other people can’t based on a random genetic trait would create an unequal balance of power and would be ripe for prejudice and oppression

and that some people would (rightly) feel marginalized by their inability to manipulate the elements

yet we do not address their grievances or make any plans to include them or their perspective in our new society striving to equality

while having two of the main non-bending characters either silent on this topic or just completely deleted from the narrative overall

i’d have two nickels

[darklinaforever]

Exactly.
