Reblogging again I think, but U.H.C actually wants to not pay for anesthesia, so people might soon be awake for surgery

blogs that i dont follow back but will take their side in anything that happens to them ever and block whoever is weird or mean to them. reverse-parasocially

for reasons i shall not discuss, a tweet

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."

We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

Coming to tumblr late in life is kinda like jumping into a tv series midway through the tenth season and letting your friends fill you in on the lore. What do you mean you used to be able to edit other people’s posts?

fuck it, reblog to give the person you rb'ed this from a freshly baked buttery croissant.

has someone done this yet

"bUt hE hAd a fAmILY"

so does my goddamn sister born with a mental disability, chronic pain, heart problems, and a possibility for spinal problems when she gets older when our insurance got cancelled so we couldn't afford physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy.

So does my other younger sister, with a number severe allergies and asthma, needing an epipen but us being unable to afford it.

so you can fuck right off with that

NYT has been discouraging reporters from sharing photos of luigi mangione - not due to concerns for his safety but to dissuade sympathy - and refuses to post his alleged manifesto in full. and today, they published an opinion by bret stephens about how brian thompson is the "real working class hero" of this story.

reddit deleted luigi's account, which was completely innocuous and consisted mostly of him giving out advice in health subreddits. they're also deleting any post that includes his alleged manifesto and banning users for sharing it.

luigi yelled that this was "an insult to the intelligence of the american people" while he was being dragged by police and news pundits are framing it as a deranged and violent outburst. news media are picking apart details of his life to paint him as a cold-blooded and mentally ill individual. even something as innocent as playing "among us" with friends is being framed as some insidious look into an assassin's disturbed psyche, ffs.

news media are also capitalizing on luigi's supposed "bizarre and impossible to understand" politics as an obvious way to paint him as a scary individual when the guy is... a centrist, at most. whose views are similar to those of your average college-educated white guy.

multiple news media also keep harping on about how luigi comes from a rich family. an obvious attempt to break the class solidarity that's been formed around this case by continuously trying to tell us "oh he's not like you guys" while ignoring the now pretty well-documented accounts of his multiple health struggles throughout the years.

and all this, and he hasn't even been found guilty of the crime he's allegedly committed. luigi is, as of right now, still innocent until proven guilty. and the news are trying to tear him apart because they obviously fear the symbol he's becoming for low and middle class america.
