Yep. Just compare how they defended Henry Cuellar against Jessica Cisneros vs how they left Jamaal Bowman hanging.

Honest question to anyone possibly paying more attention. Was there any act from the DNC to defend Bowman? I might’ve missed it but it wouldn’t surprise me to learn they felt differently about supporting one incumbent vs the other

Could you expand on what Snowden did that you disagree with?

*puts stone back in pocket*

Do you think they could’ve done that and chose not to?

It seems like you’re saying they shouldn’t have done what they did because it wasn’t executed perfectly which feels awfully like what MLK was criticizing in his letter from a Birmingham jail, people that support things in theory but never in reality and that always seem to solely criticize the actions/methods of those fighting for justice

Automatic transmissions for the L

You’re saying they should’ve just resigned? How would we have learned about PRISM without evidence?

I don’t know what you’re referring to about info suppression. Did we learn anything or just that we don’t know everything? How is that more helpful? Or, for who is it more helpful?

It certainly could mean something, but unfortunately it seems like it’s mostly just used for advertising things to… certain people

Oh weird, that was not the impression I got from the many comments you made criticizing them for their brave actions.

I would tend to blame any negative fallout on the US government, personally. If they weren’t committing atrocities regular people wouldn’t have had to take the huge risk/be put at risk.

It’s like getting upset at a victim of police brutality for not working with the police

I’m sorry if this is a bit too unrelated but would you say the same about Snowden?

I’m not as well informed on Assange but I tend to find the “espionage” criticism lacking, personally, since it seems to mainly favor the generally terrible foreign policy actions of the US empire and not so much the people of the US who are for the most part against those actions but have little recourse what with the 2 party system and having a plutocratic system of government

Seriously, what a shit article. The only thing interesting was the history about mothers rioting. That’s super badass

I’ve been wondering if my company would stop matching my donations going to Save The Children and Jewish Voice For Peace - the latter is apparently quite controversial. Anyone done some of their own research on them and have thoughts to share? I ultimately decided to send em 10 bux, but it’s possible there’s better causes/groups that help support Palestinians and advocate for a ceasefire and such

Ah, gotcha. Makes sense now. Thanks for the reply. I totally agree

I’m honestly not a fan of the government deciding which version of a religion is correct, and I’m even less into the gov enforcing targeted dress codes. It seems super authoritarian to me and I can’t really see how it could be a good thing.

I’d consider myself anti-theist but still, I don’t see how you can live in a free society and let the government have that power

That said, I’m open to learning how this could be a positive/negative and whether or not it would create a group of second class citizens.

I don’t think I understand your comment. Are you saying you think those men only let them go out because they expected them to get a good paying job and now they can’t? Or like because of the masseuse thing?

Are you a white dude?

Ngl, I did not actually expand the picture to see the caption. I just saw the main image about knowledge. Post-docs absolutely get fucked and I do feel bad for them.

I quit one year into my PhD because I was miserable in grad school. I have to assume most post-docs have some crazy resilience or some kind of mental issue/trauma that keeps them going and going. I guess that’s probably true for most people but post-docs do some seriously hard mental work and basically get shafted the entire time (at least in the US).

Unpopular opinion (apparently): I value the overpriced, yet imo absolutely priceless, education I received when I was in college/at a university.

It’s honestly unbelievable (to me) how much people in the US look down on learning and getting an education

That’s hilarious 😅

Interesting. I deleted my comment on the Sync app.

…but you can still see it?

Also, seriously? No fun allowed, I guess
