My ex worked at a shelter like this. One time they told me about a cat some woman surrendered to them... then came back a few minutes later in tears wanting the cat back because she'd had second thoughts. They'd already put him down. I was absolutely floored and disgusted at this and I frankly couldn't look at my ex quite the same way to know they condoned this.

Minutes later

You cannot ensure the safety of civilians in Gaza and uphold IHL without cutting Israel off from US weapons aid

The US needs to apply their own damn Leahy laws, but they cannot even muster that

I hope her rallies continue to get protests. This is not the time to let up

Trust me, I agree with the sentiment.

But I do NOT agree with your last sentence.

A time and a place. And now isn't the time, and her rallies aren't where it should happen.

Except if what you really wish deep inside is to weaken her position and strengthen Trump's chances to get elected.

People protesting, like those in the Uncommitted movement are directly impacted by this ongoing genocide. Their family members have and continue to be killed by Israel using US weapons while being told to stand down because its not the "time or place".

If you were in their positions, would this land well with you? If your loved ones could be blown to pieces any moment and know their killers are being protected by this country, would you just quietly accept being told to shut up? When is the right time to protest a genocide?

Scaremongering about the other guy doesnt work. No one wants Trump but it bears repeating that this genocide is occuring under Democratic leadership and has been aided and abetted by them for 10+ months.

I completely agree with what you're saying here.

But you know, two issues can be worked out at the same time.

As a queer woman, I'm sure you'll understand if I say Trump getting elected this time just CANNOT happen. So no, even if I understand where those hecklers are coming from, I can't agree with what they're doing at all.

So yes, I'm for people protesting. And I'm absolutely for protests that are disruptive. But as any form of protest, choosing the right time and the right place is primordial if you want to be heard. You don't want to burn everything down just to prove a single point. So I can't in any way, shape, or form agree with with protesters that are putting in danger a Democrat win against Donald Trump in 2024. Sorry.

If people told you to choose a different time and place to advocate for queer issues, or that the safety of you and your loved ones is an acceptable sacrifice to win an election, it would not sit well with you either right?

Protesting the VP's Israel policy during a rally is not "burning everything down". Thats an incredible amount of reach.

Are you kidding? Of course time and place is important to advocate for queer and LGBTQ+ issues. I've seen plenty of events in my time that actually hindered the causes instead of helping them. It's always a matter of how and when you decide to exercise your rights to protest. Always. And even more when you aim for disruption.

I feel you're talking like protesting Israel's actions and policies is the only cause actually worth a damn right now. And I can't disagree more.

I mean, of course it's a worthy cause, people are dying for fuck's sake! But may I remind you that if Trump is elected and gets his way many lives will be at risk too. We're talking fundamental women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights, and so much more! You're in this thread, I shouldn't have to remind you.

So I feel we really should work hand in hand instead of acting in self-serving ways. But it's not what I feel is happening right now. I feel some people really do want to burn everything down for the cause they personally feel is the most important. Obviously, that's what those hecklers were feeling. Because if they weren't, they wouldn't have chosen to protest at Kamala's rally and mine the efforts for her to be elected. From experience, I do think that's an childish, self-centered, ineffective, and incredible backward way of advocating for their cause.

Ok, we've got a lot of super heated stuff going on here. This thread is locked.

Bunch of fucking cowards. As soon as the forum creates actually funny content they close the thread.

They were just about to debate whether dogs or humans are more worthy too.

Again, how many Palestine Americans there are? You are talking like it is a big voting bloc on the U.S.

[HaughtyFrank]

Protest voting seems kind of dumb when both parties unconditionally support Israel. Now imagine if Trump was Anti-Israel, then we'd have some really fun discussions

[books]

These tubs of lard, agoraphobic aces, and dog fuckers won't be voting. Guarantee it. Nep will say voting is bowing down to capitalism when in actuality, she's got a new episode of Bluey to watch where Bluey teaches empathy.

If your loved ones could be blown to pieces any moment and know their killers are being protected by this country, would you just quietly accept being told to shut up? When is the right time to protest a genocide?

Again, you are talking about the IDF or Hamas?

Look, you might not like to hear it, but yelling at a famous person at one of their events isn't going to convince anyone to re-evaluate their views. Especially when it requires them to subsequently go against the grain of everyone else for a long time demanding extensive commitment.

Don't look at it as telling you to shut up but advising you to better deploy your efforts.

Which marvel movie did this person just watch?

[Straight Edge]

Please tell me you returned her to the same kennel you got her from and not that you got a dog somewhere else then surrendered her to an unaffiliated kennel.

About that...

The kennel I got her from was closed so I returned her to a closer one. Is that a terrible thing?

I hope this motherfucker gets hit by a bus.

So I've recently been watching Law & Order: SVU on Netflix and I got to Season 10, episode 14. "Transitions". An episode from 2009 involving puberty blockers and trans folks (with the central one to this case being a MtF trans girl).

It feels even more relevant now with the whole blocker ban crap here.

That said, I just bring it up because while watching it, I couldn't help but think "Transphobes like JKR should really watch this" but then I remember, they would probably just call it propaganda or some crap.

Still, that's an episode from 2009 which stresses the importance of puberty blockers and the suicidal feelings that trans kids goes through.

Hopefully, this all makes sense. I'm not trans and am certainly not an expert but this episode felt very respectful and educational (Dr Huang ftw especially). I could be wrong in all this but yeah, like I said, for an episode from over a decade ago, it feels so relevant today.

Too bad Joanne would probably call it propaganda without even watching it, fucking transphobe.

[Jonsey]

Hang on a second, I’ve never heard of Hunter Schafer before, who are they? And are they actually trans?

approved by the master 🙏

Ya'll out here blasting OP for caring more about themselves instead of an animal. I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings, but doing what's best for you as a person is always more important than an animal. Nothing you say will change my mind, I love my cat but he's just a cat.
The OP is clearly upset about this and just wanted to vent about how upset they are for having to do this and instead they get treated like they're a monster.

People are more important than animals and OP I hope you're okay and that the people in this thread don't cause you too much stress.

I remember one with a botched intersex surgery, a doctor experimenting with hormones and someone getting killed by the intersex forced to be trans person.

With enough training, you can sense T levels by closing your eyes and grimacing like in dragonball

Right up there with Blood Alcohol levels. They run a full blood panel with their minds.

I even went to school fully intending to run for Congress when I was out of college before one of my professors talked me out of it due to my extremely loud atheism.

I imagine you are the kind of guy that makes The Squad sound reasonable.

His comedy school professor talked him out of politics?

Hey, we're going through reports but this is the last time it gets said: MOVE ON.

 

He hasn’t realized this is how it’s going to be the whole year, has he?

I'm sure he's gonna flip that "administrator" bar over to "on break" any day now.

Like Takeashita Sakakaki?
Its kinda like Mike Hunt.

Clicky's 1 month of telling Muslims to STFU and vote for Kamala over multiple posts is on the same level as a drive by racist comment?

Mods really need to figure this out.
