one of my work groups is all about vaccine access and we work on compassionately addressing and challenging vaccine resistance.
it's hard for me to believe that hold-outs will change their ways. but some people have generational fears that could possibly be addressed and the work has been helpful.

i refuse to vote for a genocider. this is completely rational of me and i won't be guilted into a #JoeBiden #GenocideJoe vote bc i would not be able to look my Palestinian friends in eye for such a betrayal. he is unfit for office. no one should be "okay" with Bidens' actions rg. #Palestine.
call the white house, call your reps, ask him to resign. ask him to not run. if not, it's #democrats fault if they lose, for running a loser, out of touch, #zionist candidate.

backing this up. it is worse on here.
getting talked down to by white men (not exclusively) is almost a daily occurrence for me on this app.
i am probably younger than the avg. user here, which plays a role, i am sure. on twitter, most of my interactions were with my agemates or slightly older, like millennials.
people would argue with me on twitter, but some people talk to me here like i am stupid. often.
there are more quality interactions here as well, imo.

you mistake me. it's not my place to condemn a people who are being genocided. i can "not like" an action and think civilians do not deserve to suffer. but the USA and Israel created this desperate situation and desperate people do desperate things. it's inevitable and would happen to any group of people under those circumstances. resistance is often ugly and morally fraught.
the US and Israel and most of the West will condemn Palestine and already do. I don't need to.

There is a rise in antisemitism across the world and it has led to many unprovoked attacks on Jews and I condemn it strongly. Antisemitism is worldwide. Christianity, for example, has it winded into our culture and into common christian theological understandings.The trauma of oppression this is palpable
doesn't change that Israel has been attacking Palestine for decades. Jews deserve to be safe from antisemitism. Doesn’t justify Israeli occupation of Palestine and apartheid

for example we fought a war against white settler colonialists as allies in the Gullah Wars that took place in #SouthCarolina and #Florida (you may know the Florida half of it as the "#SeminoleWars")

Let me tell you about Lois Curtis. a #DisabilitlyRights Icon
Lois Curtis is a Black womam with an intellectual disability who was the force behind the Olmstead Decision. she sued the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Tommy Olmstead and the courts ruled in her favor that people with mental disabilites have a right to live in their communities instead of institutions, and have the right to live in the least restrictive setting possible
