you haven’t the faintest clue what i believe, but i see you habitually encouraging americans to fight each other instead of fight for change.

this shit sounds fake, your whole southern and midwestern narrative. i’m not even convinced you lived here, and i am sorry to run across you again.

omg, the dementia is so so apparent

why didn’t you stop your neighbors from evil when you lived here?

are each of your countrymen, wherever you are now, without fault?

you justify your own hatred and desire to harm, and so you will perpetuate the harm you experienced.

we can attack and punish each other as the few would like or work together. that requires us to acknowledge common humanity and rally together for our shared well-being.

there are bad and good people everywhere. i do not endorse painting millions as deserving suffering; there’s plenty of that already.

ordinary americans can find their way out of this mess together or tear each other apart. which do you imagine suits those in power?

you are no longer here. stop trying to sow further hatred and division. i don’t want my children, my friends, my colleagues, my clients to suffer because they live on the wrong side of an arbitrary line.

there are a lot of nice people in the south. there are a lot of brown people in the south. you think everyone needs to suffer brutality for what the worst do?

i don’t give them money but i’m on their email list. i just saw a request to donate that i dismissed and it went right to the article.

i have never known the intercept to paywall stuff?

probably direct support with your time and funding is a good idea, if you can. it certainly looks like federal grants are going away ☹️

who is saying that?!

nah, i also enjoy pointing and laughing when i see a cybertruck on the highway

edit (and at the people driving them)

to your last point, you’re not wrong. a lot of people are so fucked they know it doesn’t really matter, and i won’t blame them for the state of the nation.

where i live, voting is not necessarily easy or convenient for folks relying on public transport. that much harder if they are, say, a working single parent living below the poverty level. and my work involves talking to people like this every day - there are millions like them.

i gotta be honest, i’m not entirely sure what is intended. this decision doesn’t make sense to me!

my tamagotchi 😢

you know a lot of Texans are Mexicans, right? edit - it drives me nuts to see entire populations painted with such a broad brush.

and you will suffer with them, most likely.

this is not the way to class solidarity.

my daughter said to me one day - you have to have more empathy for those who are oppressed than hatred for oppressors.

right now, i see a lot of people lumping those who are most vulnerable together with incoming leadership. indifference to those who are most vulnerable doesn’t help any of us.

some of the people who will suffer most are also people who are least likely to learn. and i still don’t want to see them homeless or starving.

i did not vote for Trump.
