It looks like she had a friend in mind that was a victim of the AIDS epidemic.

And now I’m crying.

Cyndi helped me crack my egg. I loved her as a child, and even more deeply now as an adult.

So her music means a lot to me too

I get the sense of humor about it, but this was somebody’s grandparent, their parent, their spouse. That’s what I meant by inconsiderate.

And to be frank, I almost did the same thing when I read your headline. I thought he was making a different kind of final trip, and almost made the joke well at least it’s not to the morgue.

But I thought better of it, and then when I actually read your post realized you had went through with it.

Same dark sense of humor. I just paused and considered that it’s not cool to joke about people dying. Especially in public spaces where someone could feel hurt by it.

The party of morality line has always been a front for protecting pedophiles. This dates back prior to Trump with church abuse scandals. But has grown more blatant since 2016, when they put a sexual predator in the White House .

Fair.

The post title is not the headline of this article. People magazine had better taste and more consideration than the OP.

Them and homeless people, mentally ill people, and people with substance use disorders (read RFK jr’s encampment plans).

Work camps for everyone who isn’t super rich, eventually.

Any Democrat that sits on this, instead of voting in line with Sanders and other voices of conscience, is supporting Trump at this point.

The party line that Trump will be worse for Palestine will no longer work. And I will be writing the Democrat from my state to let them know as much.

Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble but this isn’t an actual suggestion to release the Gaetz report.

It’s a threat directed at other Republicans that if we are going to release the Gaetz report, we’re going to release many other reports too.

Marjorie is a die-hard bootlicker, and she’s not going to break lines with Trump.

Her full tweet is in the article. The headline only touches on her intentions.

She’s threatening other Republicans to keep them in line with Trump.

The headline only touches on it but the article goes deeper into her comment.

It’s not an honest request to release anything, but a threat to release everything if they release the Gaetz report.

Thanks I stand corrected on that.

The song is still an expression of solidarity for gay people though. And Cindy has a long history of expressing that solidarity, because her sister is a lesbian.

Just now?

Or… destabilizing things is the point. Hitler rose to power during the great depression. Economic turmoil is an in for authoritarianism, and Trump understands this apparently much better than Chuck Todd.

And they likely imagine Trump will pardon them. And that Trump supporting police won’t investigate, which is hopefully not what’s happening here. Though I fear it is.

You realize apathy, despair, and doomerism is exactly how they want you to feel, right? They want us to feel scared and hopeless, so we don’t organize. So we don’t fight back.

People have been organizing and pushing change without depending on elected officials for generations. The Civil rights movement. The labor movement during the great depression. etc.

Don’t let fear paralyze you, comrade. Be scared, yes. But let that arose compassion for yourself and your comrades. And we’ll get through this without depending on the Ds or Rs to throw us a bone, just like we always have.

By demanding they listen.

Hitler rose to power during the great depression. Deporting immigrants will push us towards a depression. Which is to say, I think Trump sees cruelty as a means towards authoritarianism. Yes, his base is cruel and hateful. But I think Trump’s agenda runs much deeper.

They’re coming for immigrants first, because they’re a target with few legal protections and it will cause economic chaos to deport them. Hitler rose to power during the depression, Trump is creating those conditions.

Next they’ll go after everyone left of Trump. To solidify authoritarianism.

Us trans folk and other minorities are scapegoats along the way. The scapegoats that they will make suffer so that people are scared to organize.

And yes, I’m scared shitless. But I think we’re a means to an end, not the goal itself.

But that’s the general agenda. This specific politician is likely operating more out of raw disgust and hatred than Machiavellianism.

Light a candle and cuddle.

She’s going to really hate it when masc presenting folks start using the women’s room.

Hate crimes went up 20% during Trump’s last term. I suspect the bigots will be even bolder this round.

Stay safe comrades.
