absolutely going to celebrate the zionist corpse being gone, kamala's not as big of an upgrade in terms of policies as i probably would've hoped for if she is the nominee but the bigger problem is presumably going to be the courts here and whether the dems can even get her name on the ballot in all 50 states. republicans are very prepared to challenge a change in candidates



yes i'm aware that "censorship is bad and the people who advocate for and enforce it are bad actors" is not exactly a hot take but as a trained professional educator i will say that the way people will try to frame censorship as "protecting" children is so bullshit when so much of what we know about building safety for children is related to giving them access to information



people (i'm mostly talking about liberals here) have been arguing in favor of optical politics since time immemorial and it might just be the most annoyingly oppressive framework they have to be honest. the idea that "bad optics" are a bigger threat to a movement or marginalized identity group than the actual systems oppressing them is really more of a valuing of those systems over valuing those movements/groups. it's inherently about denying change and justice in the world and the entire concept needs to be dismantled. anyone whose political philosophy is secured by "professional appearances" truly has no idea what they're talking about whatsoever
