White privilege is using a Delta airlines flight to give an unwanted concert

Caught a three day ban on reddit because I posted "If that happened on my flight I would pray we're 9/11ed" on a video of a girl singing a Moana song over a plane's intercom No reasonable person would ever consider this "threatening violence"

I would prefer an engine fire.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Seems like Democrats' time and money would be better spent making sure all of America knows that Elon Musk has turned on Donald Trump and thinks the pending Republican spending bill is an abomination that will ruin the country. The seems more important than a cute chicken costume.

If white people across the country started singing “Free Palestine” to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” when a little drunk this summer at their white people bars in their little polos and $70 flip flops I think the worst “journalists” in the world would actually implode

fire him

This is a great example of the Overton window shift. This person’s principles, policies, and bigotries have not changed. But the Democratic Party in the U.S. has moved so far to the right to appease “centrists” that they are now ideologically identical to the Republican Party 10-20 years ago.

Well it is the party that hayes progressives as much as never trumpers do

Is there a way to text 0 to STOP an entire party's messaging strategy?

Hey liberals posting stupid memes won't affect real change, you have to post good memes

OH MY GOD DEMS JUST LISTEN TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS PHONE CALLS YOU DONT NEED ANOTHER DAMN THINK TANK AND WE’RE NOT GIVING YOU MONEY FOR IT WE LITERALLY CANT

If you don’t understand that we’re at the point where both party’s and all three branches of the government are captured by capital and as such working against the people at every step, well, I’m sure you’ll love @ezraklein.bsky.social poorly researched oligarchic propaganda he calls “abundance.”

I was always pretty vague about where I lived in Texas to protect myself. Now that i I'm not there, I feel inclined to say I was in San Antonio and the SAPD are scum among scum. ACAB isn't enough to describe them. Joss was murdered because these fuckers protect their own, homophobes and racists.

Don’t let mainstream news water down the real tragedy that happened here. This was a hate crime, not an argument. The local police didn’t respond to their distress about their home, and now it’s escalated to the murder of Joss and their pet dog Fuck SAPD. I hope there’s riots in the streets

Help Jonathan Joss' husband. A GFM has been set up: gofund.me/58c2e16d

I don't mind tiktok music trends all that much but if I hear Pretty Little Baby one more time I'm going to go insane

we encourage stem in bright young men, but neglect to teach them to value women. so we get incels creating new ways to torture them

well…just saw a liberal gloating that Jonathan Joss was asking for it by living in Texas and being on a “conservative cartoon show”

This guy has been a loud conservative voice railing against Hamas and terrorism, and defending the detention of Mahmoud Khalil, who has never said or done anything violent or terroristic. And yet here he is ‘joking’ about killing civilians:

ask yourself -- really interrogate yourself -- whether you want to live in a country where a third of its people will look at this and say, "Now i don't agree with what the neighbor did, BUT..."

I hate that this is real, but it is. Please be prepared to defend yourself.

We need Pride because in the year 2025 people (in this case actor Jonathon Joss, you may recognize him from his role in Parks and Recreation) are still being murdered in what was allegedly a homophobic hate crime. Facebook post from his husband:

this is america

Trump voters didn’t vote for this. They voted for prosperity, independence, exceptionalism, racism, transphobia, anti-immigrant policies, re-segregation, white supremacy, women out of the work force, the destruction of education, and oh wait my bad they did vote for all the bad things fuck them.

the thing about white liberal Americans is that they'll argue to accept bigots into their tent before accepting the bigots' targets. the targets that have been on the same side as white liberals from the jump.

cause they don't care if we die unless we donate first so they can care

It means they're not going to do anything :)

shot to death by a neighbor he was arguing with. another day with guns in america
