Centrists are pedophile enablers for many reasons, but the common denominator is always money.
They will always side with the money over the people. Unchecked Capitalism is the enabling force of fascism.
The Democratic Party needs to purge its dependence on celebrities and billionaires.

Fetterman on Morning Joe: "I know both of you have been punished to have conversations, ongoing dialogue with President Trump. I got hit just to have dinner with him after he invited me to have that conversation. Pennsylvania keeps people honest."

One reason I have nearly no patience with elites is that they have the scope, power & protection to act & they almost never do. Whether it's an assistant or wrier in Hollywood or a high schooler or carpenter standing beside me at Broadview ICE, I've seen regular people show so much courage. SO MUCH.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.
The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

When we say “everyone should mask” we don’t actually expect people will. We know how selfish people are. But we say it because:
1) it’s factually true
2) if even a few people listen to us that’s a few more lives saved and, as the Talmud says, every life is a universe.

The only thing Israel has been "testing", for decades, is the moral fucking decency of Western media and governments, proving quite thoroughly that they are the same genocidal racists they've always been.

A “return to normal” is a return to the conditions that led to Trump. In 2020, states formed alliances in response to Trump’s bungled response to COVID, and such alliances are forming again with RFK’s bungled management of public health. Alliances like these could be the way out of a broken system.

This is part of resisting fascism. If you need every hand peacefully organized against it, that includes making room - and making it safe - for disabled/high risk people to stand beside you. We face an existential threat from the other side. Don’t make us face it from both.
How to be an ally to disabled / #immunocompromised people:
Wear a mask in public
Don’t minimize the harms of COVID to chronically ill ppl
Don’t minimize harms of COVID to yourself / family / friends
Don’t refer to COVID in the past tense (e.g don’t say “during COVID” if u mean “during lockdown”)
