I donate to charity whenever I can. Those of you who actively encourage others not to help are fundamentally flawed. Do you help those who rely on the charities you are trying to shut down because of your pet peeves or undocumented internet rumors you base your prejudices on?
As progressives, liberals, Democrats, we should be helping our fellow Americans and global neighbors. If you encourage others to boycott a charity that “allegedly” offended you are you making up for it in some other way?
When you pass a local charity that has hundreds of people lined up for hours seeking help do you wonder who will help them if you crusade to shut that charity down? If you’re not doing anything, keep your mean spirited commentary to yourself.
Actions speak louder than words. If you can’t donate or volunteer that’s fine you can spread the message instead but don’t actively discourage others from helping their neighbors.

Real Talk:
Voting is extremely important. As American citizens, it is our civic duty to choose who should rule our country. We all have rights, and who better to give us permission to use those rights than the government? The State is so caring for the people, unless they have been voted in by the opposition, then those people are very bad. Together, we can make a difference by choosing the lesser evil. We're all in this together and your voice matters. If you don't vote, you're the selfish one when a mean President gets elected. So do everyone a solid, get out there and vote.

anyone blaming non voters for a trump presidency is stupid. that man should be in prison and biden is commiting attroices overseas killing babies, children, women, men , in yemen/palestein and also belongs in prison. .. what gives these pres the right to cause attrocies overseas? all of em have blood and belong in prison..
. fuck it i dont want to vote .. and if it goes downill its on the corruption in the democratic party . its so annoying how the real corruption is never talked about.. esp with them not allowing other dems to have a chance to win.. the election is a big joke
just vote blue in your state for mayor/govs/ thats better than nothing.

US politicians are so annoying, this is literally how they handle every conversation about vulnerable people dying or the environmental crisis
Conservatives: actually this was a liberal plot by anti-Christians to turn infants trans and put microchips in your toenails. Thoughts and prayers for the future of America. Also we want to kill everyone who isn’t a cisgendered heterosexual fundamentalist Christian because we’ve turned the country into a theocracy.
Liberals: wow those conservatives are super stinky and we don’t agree with them at all, but don’t worry! We made cute bumper stickers with witty liberal one-liners and we're all going to sing a song about America being good to spread love and hope! God bless!

To watch privileged prognosticators consistently invoke poor people of color to defend their abortion stances, then, is quite a spectacle. If we took the time to actually listen to these populations-if we actually centered their views and experiences- it would directly challenge Roe's abortion-friendly policies. (Handed down from on high, of course, by a group of privileged and overwhelmingly white men.)

Considering this nation is going down the shitter (with some serious help from you), I guess that would qualify you as a "treasure", Boston Dumb Fuck. 🤷♀️
Did the guy from Medium write this pap, too?

The Republican party that swears it wants to "protect kids" is fine with 16-year-olds dying in sawmills and wants to make it legal in MORE states.

I don't think Charlie Crist stands a chance against Ron DeSantis, and even if he did he wouldn't be able to accomplish much, what with the Republicans controlling the state legislature; if by some miracle he wins, they'll use the lame duck period to pass tons of new laws to strip the governor of all power, just like in Wisconsin, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, etc. Democrats chose NOT to do this in Virginia last year when Youngkin won and Republicans flipped one house; they could have neutered him and prevented his party from making ANY progress, but no, they thought that would be petty and unfair (funny how Republicans never have reservations against pettiness and unfairness when they're in charge...)
What comes next for Florida? Really? Ron DeSantis gets another term, poor people and black people and queer people will continue to be fucked over, education will collapse, and then he'll run for president in 2028 (not 2024; Trump is running in 2024, and no Republican will ever challenge him because they would be thrown out of the party faster than you can say "Liz Cheney"). But what happens in 2026? Who do we get then? Rubio and Prick Scott aren't going anywhere, so DeSantis can't just run for Senate as the next rung up on the power ladder, and he can't run for a third term (unless the Republicans amend the constitution, which wouldn't even be all that hard; it requires a majority vote in a referendum, and they could hold it as early as next year, the off year, specifically to drive down turnout), but who could possibly do a worse job than DeSatan? Matt Gaetz? Just kill me now... It's gonna be someone who's batshit fucking insane, we can all be certain of that. It's a race to the bottom, everyone in the Republican party is competing to be crueler and dumber and more egregious than those who came before them with no clear end goal besides riling up the most people and fsnning the highest flames.
There is no fixing this.
People joke about California breaking away from the continent and drifting out to sea, and it really makes me wish that Florida was on a faultline so it could break off too and sink into the Caribbean. This cesspit of a state is irredeemable, inhospitable, nearly uninhabitable, what with all the hurricanes and the floods and the skyrocketing cost of living and neonazis in every single police department from Key West to Pensacola. I hate it here more than just about anything else. I'm trapped behind enemy lines. I'm a thousand miles from any semblance of sanity (not that things are much better up north, though more people wear masks, which is a big plus). There's nothing for me here. I don't belong here. I don't know if I belong anywhere... This is all I've ever known.
