my least favorite family sitcom
and i think to myself. what a wonderful world
I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache
life just goes on no matter what

Please for the love of GOD stop thinking about voting as if it’s an endorsement, or that playing the electoral politics game by withholding a vote will ever get you anywhere. Voting is a a tool. When you vote, you are choosing your enemy. Democrats are a less formidable enemy. It’s that simple. Biden’s NLRB has given huge wins to the labor movement, also known as the only realistic force for liberation we have available to us (which will include ending genocide). Stop making it harder for everyone just so you can feel some bs moral superiority. Tell them you’re not gonna vote for them, make them look as bad and evil as possible. But as a simple practical matter, why the fuck would you risk letting things get objectively worse? Fixing this rotten country will take a long time, and any time republicans gain power they use it to roll back another ten years of progress. Why lay down and let openly criminal fascists ransack the country during this crucial time for the planet? You can say there’s no difference between them, but the republicans are just vastly more dangerous. We can’t afford to go any further right than we already are. Electoral politics is a distraction from real political organizing, but forfeiting your ability to set more favorable rules of the game (i.e. by keeping the worst of the worst out of power) is a foolish and self-defeating strategy.
genocide joe and the democratic party do not give one single shit about how you feel voting for him or if you think he is the lesser evil. every strident social media post and attendance at a protest and deep seated personal convictions and letter to your congressman are adults from charlie brown going Bwa Bwa Bwa to them. you speak one language they can hear and that's the ballot box. & if you vote for genocide joe, what they'll hear is "it doesn't matter how much the left whines, we can openly salivate for genocide and they'll still vote for us." if this doesn't lose them votes it is a green light for every democratic candidate in the future to take the exact same stance, forever. how can anyone who claims to care about electoral politics not understand that
Dear Friends,
My name is Laila, and I am writing to you from a place of deep despair. The conflict in Gaza has forced us from our home, and we now find ourselves in Khan Younis, struggling to survive. My mother is pregnant, and her life is in grave danger.
I feel utterly helpless and overwhelmed by our situation. There are moments when I wish for my own suffering to end, but my only hope now is to save my mother. I have started a campaign to raise funds for her evacuation and medical care.
Please, I beg you to share our campaign on your social media platforms. Your help can make a difference and give my mother a chance to live.
Thank you for your compassion and support.❤️🙏🏼
Sincerely,
"this fundraiser is vetted by nabulsi, fallahifag, el-shab-hussein, ibtisams, sayruq"
