So you’re pro ICE? Interesting flag in your screen name

- Stop the Lebanon War Powers Resolution
— Send Israel $26 billion more in aid after it killed 34,000+ people
— Send Israel another $17.6 billion in aid (a failed bill Biden would've vetoed)
- Ban the State Department from citing Gaza Ministry of Health death tolls
- Sanction ICC officials as they sought justice against Israeli war criminals
- Express "disgust" at South Africa's suit accusing Israel of genocide & praise Biden spokesperson John Kirby calling the case
"meritless, counterproductive, and completely without basis in fact whatsoever" (Israel had already killed 25,000+ people at this point)
- Express "gratitude" for ICE
- Force through the TikTok sale, or ban it in the U.S. if it wasn't sold

Why yes, I’m sure Karl Rove is writing this because he really cares about the future of the Democratic Party 😂

Doesn’t this picture sum up what’s happening in this country? Trump gets richer. People are dying. They are detaining literal nuns. The left are fighting back.

Screenshot of Apple News - PBSNEWS article about USAID cuts resulting in people dying, CBS Needs headline about Trump making billions in crypto. A Washington post article about ice detaining a Catholic nurse. The hill article is about the left winning in Colorado.

Not my pets, but here is the best picture I took of my ex’s pets

I’m not being obtuse. You’re just wrong. You can condescend and curse at me all you want. I don’t give a fuck. You’re just wrong.

Executive orders are not legislation; they require no approval from Congress, and Congress cannot simply overturn them. Congress may pass legislation that might make it difficult, or even impossible, to carry out the order, such as removing funding. Only a sitting U.S. President may overturn an existing executive order by issuing another executive order to that effect

Timeline cleanse. Show me your pups.

“One day, everyone will always have been against this.” 5/5 stars. This altered my brain chemistry. “To be accused of speaking too loudly about one injustice but not others by someone who doesn’t care about any of them is to be told, simply, to keep quiet.”

A lot has happened at 60 minutes in the last 10 days since Brian last posted about it. He’s such a partisan hack.

Screenshot of Brian’s post of a search to see when he posted about 60 minutes. No posts about 60 minutes firing two correspondents.

I got immediately blocked for asking this question to Dad Influence. I’m disabled due to stage 4 cancer. I was just curious why he presumed to speak for the disabled community

Screencap of a post from Dad Influence. “Not to mention, before door dash, disabled people go along just fine. This applies equally to AI, btw.”

How can this be? @theatlantic.com told me that Trump is better than ever.

May I introduce the greatest derp dog picture ever taken?

I have a reading comprehension problem?

My cancer pet peeve is health care employees scoffing at me when I say I’m a hard stick and then me immediately proving that I’m right. #cansky

Picture of my arm with 2 giant bruises from a triage nurse who didn’t believe me when I said I was a hard stick.

I have stage 4 cancer, you crazy Canuck. What the hell am I supposed to do besides calling my senators every day? Yeah, I’m selfish for not wanting to be shot or put in prison for the rest of my life. Trump has really broken the world.

“One has to love the learned helplessness of “the us citizenry cannot possibly be expected to act against the government, for we are the one place on earth where cops shoot people, that is an unreasonable demand, anyways please overcome the US military from a foreign nation”

“It’s actually a much more reasonable demand that you put yourself in the line of fire to stop your government from shooting foreigners, than to ask foreigners to put lives on the line to stop your government from shooting you”

I experimented today and god damn, I did well.

I finished book two of the Beartown series and now I’m onto a non-fiction book that’s been on my TBR for awhile. #booksky

Big defender of all countries going through a genocide, huh? Or are you just a performative asshole about just the one?

Lara@getupswinging· Mar 29

@washingtonpost.com used to publish articles that were hard hitting journalism. Now it posts puff pieces about angry has-been comics who haven’t been relevant in years

Screenshot of a Washington post article about Adam carolla, who hasn’t been relevant in years. “The right’s embrace of Adam Carolla cost him friends and gigs - but not his edge.”

I hate everything about this headline and sub-heading. “Controversial influencer hstikkkytokky” has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Sometimes I root for my cancer.
