I get angry when people say “we don’t want Mills, we want somebody who’ll fight for us” or whatever stupid thing.

Trump tried to threaten her into rolling back trans rights and she said “make me” and stared him down.

She does fight for us.

Stop being an idiot.

A common talking point of libertarians is that regulations are unnecessary because the market will regulate itself. After all, they'll say, if a brand sells products contaminated with lead, consumers can just vote with their wallets and not buy that product.

Yeah. So about that...

i was surprised to learn that bc most protein powders are considered dietary supplements, they basically fall into a regulatory grey area

there's no federal limit on the amount of lead they can contain and neither manufacturers nor the FDA have to prove these products are safe before they're sold

Protein powders and shakes, like all dietary supplements, fall into something of a regulatory gray area.

There is no federal limit specifying the amount of lead allowed in protein powders. And while the FDA requires that manufacturers keep their products free of harmful contaminants, it largely leaves it up to companies to decide what counts as harmful and test their own products for compliance.

Before 1994, manufacturers had to prove herbal products were safe before selling them. That changed after Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. The law sharply limited the FDA’s authority, leaving supplements far less regulated than drugs.

Today, supplements are “presumed safe unless found otherwise,” says Cohen at Harvard Medical School, and most products face scrutiny only after reaching the market—meaning unsafe or contaminated supplements can reach consumers before problems are caught.

Literally everyone’s worse off now.

I hate when losers who make the shows/media/whatever they like/hate their politics dont even fucking UNDERSTAND the shit. Good god.

People cannot read/understand the spoken word. Truly feel insane.

Wondering when the lengthy and weird tirade a podcast host I listened to will be edited out of the episode once they regain clarity and realize they sound insane and insanely racist.

Stop blaming Kamala, she didn't tank the economy and send stormtroopers into US cities

The chorus of “dont listen to those stupid shitlibs (read: Black women) who are gonna use IDPOL to make it seem like [being abusive to] Harris is bad” that rose up the second she was the nominee from so called progressive, right-thinking people.

I hate that some fellow Black people entertained it.

Everything I see about the soldier of fortune dude is him saying “you know the shit that pisses you off? well im doing JUST THAT but in a WHITE GUY way”.

So fucking annoying. You can put “populism” aesthetics on anything and people will come like chickens on feed.

So much money being wasted…

You are a dumb baby if you bitch about campaign emails or texts. Use a dummy number or fucking unsubscribe. Your idiot self cannot crash out and vindictively say shit like you aren’t voting cuz you’re annoyed because that’s nonsense and because campaigns need $. And also bc you HAVE AGENCY. Use it.

People really discovered or felt safe to say they hated Black people BAD last year.

I felt bad about this and still do to an extent bc ofc I do, but honestly? Thanks for putting it on the table. All the BLM shit in the bio, using us as excuse to shit on pols you hated anyway, ect. Shit is CRAZY.

Hm. Maybe that’s a problem if you have such strong opinions on something this important while missing crucial information in favor of the shiny jingling mercenary keys.

Respectfully, while I did receive two texts from Mills asking for money, I also received two emails from YOU asking for money as well.

And I didn’t sign up for your mailing list either...which makes me wonder how you get YOUR lists?

Okay. I know Ginga is incredibly important to me as a person and it does influence my life philosophy in some ways but the way people on all sides of the spectrum are just making the books/movies/ect they like (or hate) the sum of their politics is too much. Shounen manga is not theory or praxis.

The irony of this insane youchewb comment is that King Princess did more to attempt to avoid this by advocating for people to register to vote and to vote Harris than some other famous lesbian pop musicians did by lying about who supported trans people.

What’re they supposed to do? EAT DHS???

I spend time studying right wing media/propaganda circles and their adjacent communities (ie, the “non political” conspiracy realms) and the way they constantly rattle off references to old sci fi books, monster movies, ect is heinous. Doesn’t help many clearly wanted Hollywood/entertainment careers

Play the victim if you want, lol. I hope you stop being so fucking defensive and in your feelings one day. Maybe listen to Black people next time and you won’t have to cry about some idiot “betraying“ or suffering the pain of people wanting to know why you’re defending a mistake that was clear to us

People vaguely hear or read about the outstanding bloodshed and violence in congress/politics generally in the US in Ye Olden Times and get horny for it but I must reiterate that this was a major sign of societal dysfunction and not something that we should aspire to return to.

you are getting defensive, why? you’re wrongly assuming I’m a child because I’m annoying you yet you know a lot about this cartoon for someone who is so grown up.

no need to be upset. you made a bad choice we’re all paying for now. make better choices next time. simple as. move on.

Very bold assumptions! Neither have you it seems since you view politics through a lens of both pop culture and a very middling concept of “power” that privileges the sort of moronic behavior that trash people loved about DJT’s first run.

Are you just going to throw your weight behind the next white idiot who says the lines you like and presents with an aesthetic agreeable to you or are you going to critically examine the whole picture and take into mind who is criticizing them and why?

Yes or no?
