Reminder That The Indian Fascist State's Brutal Operation Kagar Is Still Ongoing, Make Some Fucking Noise!

Reminder that the Indian Fascist state's brutal operation Kagar is still ongoing, make some fucking noise!

Do not forget about the Adavasis! Do not forget about operation Kagar! Make some fucking noise!

It is amazing to me how many people claim to be leftists and claim to support Palestinians yet seem to be working very hard to 1) convince people to not vote for Kamala and 2) make it easier for Trump to win.

They claim that because Kamala isn't perfect in her stance (even though she is calling for a ceasefire and willing to talk to Pro-Palestinian protesters) that you should either not vote or vote third party.

However, due to the way that the system is set up third party is NOT a viable option on the national level. Not only that, but this is a HUGE year for elections. Every single House seat is up for election as well as many Senate seats. We could vote in enough Democrats to have a super majority and prevent more Republicans from having space in the Supreme Court and blocking Republican policies.

However, if Trump wins I can pretty much guarantee that he will send troops to aid Israel and he will probably seek to aid Putin in Ukraine. He will strip rights for Americans and make things worse for immigrants. He has already stated that he will "fix things so well you'll never have to vote again".

If you care about Palestinians, POC, women, LGBTQA people, immigrants, the Congo, Ukraine, ect then vote for Kamala and blue down the ticket.

hot take but the tendency many people have to equate their contemporary social/political movement of choice to like the civil rights movement or antifascist movements of the 1930s and 40s or whatever in order to derive moral superiority is more often than not driven by ignorance and narcissism than anything else

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.

But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.

He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but that’s not who we’re talking to. We’re talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didn’t line up with who a Democrat was, or didn’t feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.

He served in the military. He went to a state college. He’s your favorite teacher from your public high school. He’s your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. He’s the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.

He’s the neighbor who helps you jump your car. He’s your uncle who takes you hunting. He’s your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. He’s you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. He’s you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. He’s you when he says ‘it had to be me’ and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.

He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That it’s normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and you’re not a weirdo, are you?

That there’s a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they don’t have to default to being fucking weird.

I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go… yeah, that’s me. That’s who I’m gonna be.
