I didn’t say it was a good thing. But saying Trump HIMSELF is against abortion and supporting a national abortion ban is giving fear to people that is unnecessary. it did backfire to give it back to the states. It was a very dumb idea. He’s not a smart guy. jm not defending him. I’m trying to explain the lies vs the truth. Saying he’s against abortion is a lie. He supports a lot of shit that’s actually awful (like climate actions for example) but he supports abortion. He’s probably paid for a few

He’s made it clear he is not against abortion but just wanted to give it back to the states. We can all agree that was a dumb decision but he’s always been very clear he doesn’t want an abortion ban. That’s fear mongering from the left.

He’s stayed multiple times that he’s not against abortion

Thank you for making me feel better about this Trump situation. I didn’t know all this about Bush. as far as Trump becoming a dictator, I don’t believe that will happen. I do think he values his ego more than anything else but I also believe there is ALOT of fear mongering surrounding him. The criminalization of abortion for example, during the debates he looked at the mediator like he was an idiot because he said “I agree with abortion but I just wanted to give it back to the states.” His decisions aren’t the best. His followers are terrifying. BUT his followers disagree with half the shit he agrees with (abortion and vaccines for example) which then makes the public believe he is like his crazy followers. im scared for the future but I think a lot of my fears and anxiety have to do with the media’s portrayal of what’s happening.

This is the beginning of the end. guess it doesn’t matter if I get into grad school or not

try "the nightingale" by kristan hannah (i don't think i spelled any of that right but i'm too tired to think) currently reading the last book in the ACOTAR series

i had a marathon: Challengers Carry on Poor Things

i hate to say it but.....it's true

Happy to see 3 hostages made it back home. not at all surprised Hamas already wants to fuck up a ceasefire. What else is new?

I’m really not meaning this in a rude way but I’m still Not understanding how any of this makes you lose your rights? Inciting violence is already against the law. People already go to prison for hurting other people. It’s not realistic in any civilized society.

: how does everyone feel about the tiktok ban? Everyone at work is freaking out about it. I’m not really upset or Oxford excited about it either. I wonder if Trump will do anything about it? The most normal I’ve ever heard him speak was when asked about the TikTok ban the other day

you have all the same concerns I do about the whole ordeal but explained it way better than I could so thank you for sharing this.

I’m honestly confused on how limiting speech limits your rights? Like I’m actually confused on this. Which has always been so wild to me because Trump hasn’t shut up about vaccines, and taking them, since Covid started. The rich are only gonna get richer and the middle class is going to keep disappearing. It’s a sad reality and I just have no idea what anyone can do to stop it

Because if you limit theirs you limit your own. It means you can’t call them bigots, nazis, etc.even if they are.

I think we’re talking about speech as a whole it sounds like. Elle can run her website however she wants

How does this have anything to do with trans rights? Everyone agrees that they deserve the same rights as anyone else

I think we all can agree that these people suck and no one supports them limiting speech either.

My husband and I are both bi. We have many friends in the lgbtq community and many democratic friends and not a single person supports limiting free speech either. IMO I feel like it’s only the people who spend majority of their time online who want to limit speech. So you just wanted limited speech from people who disagree with you.

Protecting free speech has nothing to do with the constitution. They want it in other countries too. cruel people are going to be cruel whether they’re on the internet or not. i agree that there isn’t anything fun about being cruel and mean. I was bullied all through my childhood. It sucks. It’s evil. I think people with hateful opinions are shit people. do I think I have a right to control what they put on the internet? No. Most people on the internet arent psychos like Alex Jones who start weird mobs of dick heads who have zero common sense.

You don’t have the freedom to physically hurt someone. Hurting feelings is literally not the same thing.

taking away the right to free speech is the first step of the government having full control over every aspect of your life. no one should have the right to control what you say. if someone wants to be a bully they’re a shitty ass person. And guess what? In a world where there’s no free speech, you can’t call someone a shitty ass person when they’re being one because it would be considered hate speech. Someone saying a slur or a bad word is shitty, but it’s not criminal.it is not calling for your death. Controlling speech will not give someone empathy.

You realize that the people you want to defend commit the same behavior tho right? and for the record, I’m not defending anyone. I’m defending the right to say whatever I want as long as I’m not insinuating violence. Hurting feelings isn’t insinuating violence. Neither is calling people names, etc.

Let’s hope her child breaks the cycle

Hurting someone’s feelings isn’t hate speech. No one is required to manage YOUR emotions. if someone is rude to you, bullying you, that’s shitty, but people can say what they want. I think this argument is so wild because if someone is cruel to someone without a leftist worldview, then it’s fine; but being hateful to a leftist isn’t allowed. You can’t stop people from hurting your feelings.
