Non-denominational socialist & leftist Cassandra on my not nice feminist arc in the face of the misogynistic tradwife & pornification cultural zeitgeist.

I wish Americans would realize that general strikes would do more in a few days than the last half century of "protest" marches combined.
BREAKING: โOctober 3 will be a day of strike, with hundreds of initiatives in different Italian cities in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla, of peace, and to reaffirm international law,โ CGIL, Italyโs largest trade union declares. CGIL said the strike was called in compliance

Almost every woman you know has been groped at some point in her life. The first time I was groped I was 16, another time I was groped at an adidas store by an EMPLOYEE. These are sadly standard stories for women.
The only way this could possibly ever be true is if the definition of sexual assault includes things like "I now regret that it happened" or "an ugly man looked at me"

Except we're NOT blowing up drug boats in the Caribbean because Venezuela is not a major part of the narco trade Just like Iraq didn't have WMDs & the yellowcake was fabricated. Do you dumb shits ever get tired of falling for the same propaganda every time?
@ljmontello By this logic summarily blowing up drug boats in the Caribbean is OK because fentanyl kills Americans.

You think women being aware of gender inequality is a recent thing?

โi dislike very much when writers accurately showcase how women felt about being used as brood mares, shattering my delusion of women from other generations enjoying having no autonomyโ

Something tells me you didn't have a problem with political assassinations when it was Osama Bin Laden despite being responsible for far fewer deaths than Brian Thompson.

No... Brian Thompson & United Healthcare is responsible for far, far more death and suffering than Bin Laden ever accomplished.

I mean... I did some gardening, watered my plants, some cleaning, picked up a Christmas tree, practiced piano and sketech a layout for a potential art piece while dealing with these cretins, so it's no skin off my back to smack them around as a distraction. And it's not even 3pm
@ljmontello shitty way to spend your Sunday but good job yelling at all these fucking losers today ๐๐

Disney could give a million bucks to all these comic creators and still be in the top 100 richest companies on the planet, idc what their contracts say, money should come as a "thank you"

I'm seeing some beyond disgusting replies like this about what Sara Pichelli said yesterday. People so into the slop machine that they can't see beyond it. No empathy or acknowledgement for the people who gave life to their favorite characterers. All that matters is consuming
@comics_jeff She was a hired writer and signed the contract voluntarily, right?

The older I get, the more I understand people who go 'no contact' with family and I support their decision. They'll never get a "That's still your __" or "Just forgive them" outta me. We don't know what cruelty folks have endured. And regardless, it's their choice.

@joseph_merrill @ljmontello So don't be surprised if folks decide to take a few health execs with them-It really is no one's responsibility to take care of your security if your security is failing!

Border Patrol basically has its own Air Force btw, through parent agencyโs Air and Marine Operations (AMO)
The P-3 continues to play a vital role in securing our nationโs borders. By patrolling the source and transit zones, P-3 crews detect, monitor, and interdict illicit trafficking before threats reach U.S. shores. Their vigilance helps keep our communities safe and supports our

imploding job market just as Trump is jamming a massive health insurance tax hike on tens of millions of Americans. It'd all mean something if we had an opposition party, but instead we have the Democrats. https://t.co/IuZhMjpPLE

The fact you have to label all the people who get their insurance claims denied addicts who caused their own health problems show you don't have much sympathy for anyone at all. Yet still found it in you to mourn & humanize the insurance CEO.
@ljmontello I have no sympathy for people who destroy their bodies with drugs, alcohol, weed and God knows what else. Then you celebrate a man losing his life because your claim got declined. Eff you. Get dome self control @sshole.
