If abortion is murder, then masturbation is genocide, a blowjob is cannibalism, using a condom is kidnapping, sperm banks are human trafficking rings, ultrasounds are child pornography, and a miscarriage is (depending on the circumstances) manslaughter or embryonic suicide.

History doesn't lie, but antisemites/antizionists do lie. They lie all the time.

Important story here:

Antizionists in Bordeaux, France, have found yet another way to hurt Jews & isolate Israel, by ending a 40-yr sister-city relationship with an Israeli city.

Mayoral candidate Nathalie Delattre wants to restore it.

Dialogue promotes peace. Antizionists prefer hate.

"The very spirit of twinning is dialogue, friendship, and cooperation between peoples, regardless of the political tensions of the moment." (Nathalie Delattre, in LeFigaro)

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇

"Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

If you're mad about snacks, seafood, and wine being #SNAP eligible, because god forbid low income people enjoy life, then you're not pro-life. You're pro-poverty, elitist, and a hypocrite.

Almost 400,000 people in San Diego County alone receive Cal-Fresh (aka SNAP) benefits every month to afford food. Now, because Republicans in Congress are refusing to reopen the government, November benefits will likely be delayed.

San Diego County cites federal shutdown: Don't expect November CalFresh payments

The ongoing federal government shutdown could mean CalFresh recipients may not receive November benefits, San Diego County officials said Tuesday.

The same energy white people brought chasing a Nazi down on a college campus is the same energy they need to bring when standing up to ICE.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

If you think SNAP isn't going to be a problem everywhere: I'm in a fairly affluent area and I've already seen three posts hit NextDoor in the last 24 hours offering to trade labor for food as a result of the news.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

the fundamental confusion between 'democratic party policies' and 'things said by people on twitter, most of whom hated the democratic party' strikes again

G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris.com · 6d

how many of these "Democratic policies" were in the 2024 Democratic Party platform document? 1? maybe 2?

compare that to the list of unpopular Republican policies, 13 of which Trump has accomplished since taking office, and most of which have been floated by admin officials as possible priorities

If someone gives this shit to kids on Halloween and no candy, the kids have the right to TP and egg their house. Why do y'all think poor children don't deserve joy on Halloween? Donate to or volunteer at food banks instead if you want to help people. Poor kids don't exist for you to stroke your ego.
