#he is not trump at ALL

[panicbones]

i think a lot of ppl have a fundamental misunderstanding of julius caesar. they didnt kill caesar cuz he was a tyrant (specifically to rome; they didnt care that he went on conquests in general), they hated him bcuz the ppl LOVED him. and they loved him bcuz he funded public infrastructure, gave immigrants full citizenship, etc. brutus had to convince himself that caesar would become one, eventually. oh they also hated caesar cuz he was epileptic.

#i am in no way defending the guy he was a ruthless conquerer. but get your shit right at least #he is not trump at ALL #in his will he wrote that he wanted his wealth distributed amongst the ppl and everyone have access to his gardens #all of them were like. ew fuck the poor ppl get rid of that will #they didnt fucking like that he saw the poor as human!!!!!!!!!!! #GET UR SHIT RIGHT. HES NOT TRUMP #skeletal chatter #ides of march

I was going to make a longer post about it but just imagining how the US election arguments as we approach November will flood every place of the English-speaking internet (where, unfortunately, I hang out during much of my time) and god, it's gonna be so tiresome. We're gonna get flooded with "REGISTER TO VOTE" ads even if you don't live there and people arguing about voting, not voting, voting for this and that, not voting for third parties (apparently a crime in the US, great democracy guys), and so on and so on. And the results in one way or the other will be awful for the wider world. Not looking forward to it.

#cosas mias #for Argentina it will probably Milei taking weekly flights to suck Trump's cock (assuming he lasts this long) #or Biden's admin getting more influence on us because while Milei won't suck his cock he will do whatever someone with a US flag tells him #but without being flippant it's all just awful they're terrible horrible people of a terrible horrible imperial power #who should be behind bars #I hope the US gets a popular left-wing movement soon because this can't go on it just can't #it's terrible for the world and my balls they're breaking my balls personally (Argentine expression)

i know this is old news but like. it is so fucking insane to me that convicted felons — who can qualify in every other way, citizens who are absolutely affected by elections and politics — are not allowed to vote in the united states. like that alone is fucking crazy. and fucked up and VERY intentional and on track for the usa. but still genuinely crazy to actually think about.

but worse is that donald mother god damn fucking trump can still run for president and could be elected while being a convicted felon. like. bro can't vote for himself i guess. but this guy could still legally become the fucking president. HE CANT LEGALLY VOTE IN ELECTIONS ANYMORE. BECAUSE HE IS A CONVICTED FELON.

BUT HE COULD LEGALLY BECOME THE HEAD OF STATE.

#like whatttttt the fuck what the fuck #im celebrating today just like everyone else #hallelujah thank you jesus i am so incredibly grateful that he is guilty and being sentenced #we SHOULD all celebrate this #rich politician actually getting convicted is dope #and the fact that hes the FIRST former president to EVER get convicted of crimes is INSANE #i forget that bc everyone knows about shit like watergate. but like nixon wasnt actually convicted of jack shit. #so this is a big deal and worth celebrating. #but also i canNOT stop thinking about this #this is so incredibly fucked up to me i cannot get past it #politics #donald trump #donald trump conviction #united states #election 2024

hi y'all. i know i don't make a lot of original posts here. however, on may 31st, i watched as my friends and peers were brutalized at the hands of cops from departments across california.

uc santa cruz police made a statewide call for mutual aid in order to disband the gaza solidarity encampment located at the main entrance of the campus - initially established at the quarry in the center of campus on may 1, it moved to the entrance on may 20 in solidarity with the UAW strike. on tuesday, may 28, protesters barricaded the main entrance, cutting off the primary way of getting on campus; though the western entrance to UCSC was left unblocked (except for a few hours on tuesday), the main entrance remained obstructed until the raid began late on thursday night. this road blockage is what admin cited as the reason for the raid, along with "campus safety" and "academic freedom".

it's important to note that prior to blocking the road, students had been encamped for 28 days, and had been holding peaceful, law-abiding rallies since october. nothing worked. months of following the guidelines that admin had set, and of course student voices were dismissed and ignored by chancellor cynthia larive and cpevc lori kletzer (the latter of whom, by the way, showed up at 6 am "walking her dog" and smiled while watching her students get suffocated and beaten). the escalation would never have happened if student demands had been met at the very beginning.

hundreds of cops in riot gear from as far out as uc davis showed up to abuse students. over 115 arrests were made, including 3 ucsc professors, transported off by buses that were fifteen years past their intended end-of-use date and had also been servicing the campus prior. is this "campus safety"? is this "academic freedom"?

from just before midnight until approximately 9am on friday, cops kettled, suffocated, shoved, yanked, beat, and bruised students. one got a battery charge for writhing and bumping a cop after another slammed him in the head with a baton. another had a bag placed over their head, leading to suffocation, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. at least two protesters were confirmed to go to the ER that morning; many more have had to seek medical attention for lasting injuries.

arrestees were given a 14-day campus ban, including those who live on-campus (functionally evicting them & preventing access to their belongings), not to mention subjected to horrifyingly inhumane conditions:

you can find more information on various instagram accounts such as ucscsjp, ucscdivest, fjpucsc, ucsc_encampment, & jawsucsc. there's plenty of other organizations and people posting about this, too. please, don't let ucsc brush this under the rug. demand amnesty for the arrestees and protesters. contact any ucsc admin you can find. the uc has been utilizing police brutality to repress student voices across their institution, with ucla and uc irvine also being victims of this violence. do not let them get away with it.

free palestine, from the river to the sea. if seeing this violence sickens you, remember that this is not even a fraction of what the people of palestine have been enduring for decades. we will not let the university silence us, no matter what.

#palestine #ucsc #free gaza #the protester hit in the head with a baton is not okay btw. their concussion is severe and the injuries he sustained #might have permanent effects. #and remember: this is what is happening in biden's america. #this is not a hypothetical. this will not be “worse under trump”. #biden does not give a fuck!! israel has crossed his “red line” multiple times and he has done FUCK ALL #this is far from the only incident of police brutality under his administration and he has done FUCK ALL #he is not “the lesser of two evils” he is the exact same side of the exact same fucking coin #also if my usage of the phrase “from the river to the sea” is stopping you from reblogging this then your solidarity means nothing

The fact that there used to be a reality show where people competed to be mentored in business by professional conman and 4-times bankruptcy declarer Donald Trump, and it ran for 17 fucking seasons and only got canceled because he became fucking President of the United States.

We're living in the parody timeline.

#like I know people call him reality show host all the time #but I need it to really sink in how that WAS his major success #he was losing billions on real estate #he gained billions by lying about his success on TV #Donald Trump is Donald Trump's only successful product #and it's also a scam #maybe the biggest scam of all

"if we make america worse and more of a dictatorship that will be even harder to unravel and make it the way we want the country to be, maybe then everyone will join our Glorious Revolution!" bb girl you cant even be in the same room with someone who thinks you should vote, how in tf do you think you're gonna unite people to fight in The Revolution with you? it's gonna be you and your 5 friends, i hate to break it to you.

#i dont think you realize how repelling you and your politics are to everyone else #you get all of your validation for how Smart You Are from your friends and ignore any kind of feedback that suggests you should #change or do something differently. thats the only reason you're so convinced average people will go along with you bc you keep getting #affirmation from the people who ALREADY agree with you- but you have NO IDEA how to bridge the gap between people who agree #with you and disagree with you. you're horrible at convincing people of your side of things outside of straight up guilt tripping them #or bullying them like a highschooler. im sorry but the tools you learned to survive with as a kid aren't gonna help you in this situation. #the ONLY THING you can come up with to bridge that gap is a bloody revolution. thats how bad you are at this. #and you're also so bad at this and unimaginative that you dont even realize how THAT might not even be enough. #you cant imagine ANY kind of avenue to getting people to change AT ALL outside of blood and fire. and thats why people call you #an authoritarian. #i'll be honest- i really do think the world would be a better place if we did incremental change under a democratic president who wont #set the world on fire vs the godkingemperor republican WHO WONT EVEN LISTEN TO YOU AT ALL EVER AND MIGHT KILL YOU #FOR PUTTING UP A STINK. idk if you noticed but if that evil fuck gets into office we are severely outnumbered if he gets police #n shit to go after his own citizens. letting trump win is making this battle so much harder than it needs to be. #you are choosing trying to fix the world while its exploding vs trying to fix it before it explodes at all. #what is this like a procrastination thing? you wanna wait till the last minute to try? idfgi. wtf is wrong with you #throwing minority lives away to prove a point. and then you try to tell me you care. gtfoh. #accelerationists should never be taken seriously.

something horribly funny about the fact that donald trump is not allowed to vote in his own goddamn election

#he can’t vote. but he can still run for fucking president #laughing bc that’s all i can do babey #donald trump

[ssaturnsapphic]

when i see yt americans tell black and brown americans to vote for biden bc “trump will be worse” or “trump is extreme right”, i roll my eyes bc where on the political spectrum does joe biden, who is financing and supporting multiple genocides as well as restricting the human rights of MILLIONS of people, fall? yt ppl think that bc he tweets abt roe v wade (which he could’ve codified but didn’t btw) that that makes him left wing

#yt self proclaimed liberals piss me off so bad #yt ppl just generally be pissing me off but GOD #like i’ve made my peace with yt conservatives and right wingers #but it’s the damn liberals that throw me #bc for all the shit you spout #you are so damn useless #thinking abt how genocide joe’s speech at the church where 9 black ppl were killed #his speech was interrupted by pro palestine activists asking how many kids he has allowed to die in gaza #and these DUMB bitches were like 4 more years!!! #do you know how fucking sick you have to be #ym saying trump will be worse when him and biden have the same damn stance on palestine #and then trying to suppress the valid concerns of black and brown ppl #yeah fuck you guys

#donald trump just got convicted on all 34 felony accounts of falsifying business records #i havent been this happy since he got covid #🎉🎉🎉

[redhoodie1723]

Yeah let's also cancel Lewis Hamilton for meeting and having conversations with Putin... Yeah... Also maybe Seb too because he was also there???? Yeah... Right...some of you have never had a job where you had to talk positively about someone you didn't like or approved just for the sake of keeping that job.

idk which time ur talking about hamilton and putin meeting up and making friends, as the only time i can find that they've interacted was at the 2015 russian grand prix where putin was giving out the race trophies. hamilton, vettel, and perez were all on the podium for that race. correct me if im wrong and theres another time theyve met, but thats literally all i can find.

now, first of all, there's a big difference between having to interact with a political figure on a race podium, and choosing to interact with them freely out in the paddock, taking pictures with them, and praising them in additional interviews. there's also a big difference between being polite to the current leader of the country you're in that is known for killing/imprisoning people who speak out against him, and actively supporting an ex-leader who has (as far as we know) never actually killed someone for not being supportive.

if you ask me, it would've been unsafe for hamilton or any of the drivers on that podium to speak out against putin at that moment or act impolitely. on the other hand, the biggest trouble norris could get in for not praising trump and taking pictures with him is maybe a talking too back at the mclaren HQ. like, lets be real, it would be ridiculous and insane of mclaren to fire norris after all the time/resources theyve put into his development, especially now that its finally starting to pay off. it would be like shooting themselves in the foot, a move thats generally reserved for ferrari's strategy team or sauber's pit stops.

furthermore, you are simply assuming that norris' job wouldve been at risk in this situation. not once has it been implied that he was threatened or coerced into this situation. its even less likely that that has happened since piastri hasn't made any comments or taken any pictures with trump as far as i can find. for all we know, it could've been norris' idea to do all that. so, not exactly the strongest defense here.

and even if he had been forced into the corner and told to take pictures and play nice, he also took it a step further to compliment trump in other interviews saying it was an "honor" and there's a lot to "respect" about trump. hamilton has never come out saying any of that about putin. in fact, he has come on the record since then condemning putin and his actions. can you tell me where norris has come out condemning trump and his actions? no? that's funny.

#even if you did make the baseless assumption that everything lando norris did this weekend was being forced by mclaren #its still a stupid argument #theres a difference between being nice with “someone you dont like” and praising a literal bigoted wanna-be dictator #anyone with any kind of moral backbone in that situation wouldnt have allowed things to go that far and wouldve taken a stand against it #u dont think all those protests that hamilton and other drivers like vettel participated in put their jobs at risk? #u dont think that put a lot of pressure and danger on them? #yet they still chose to do the right thing #dont come into my inbox again spewing this nonsense #even if hamilton was getting real buddy buddy with putin #hes educated himself grown as a person and publicly changed his stance #and until norris does the same he has lost my respect #lewis hamilton #lh44 #lando norris #anti lando norris #ln4 #mclaren #mercedes #donald trump #vladimir putin #politics #adding so people can filter those out #formula 1 #f1 #reds ask tag

Fiona and Cake spoilers seriously

(Something I noticed abt Betty and Simons relationship)

I love Betty and Simon’s relationship, I think their back story is so cute and romantic and all that lovely stuff don’t get me wrong.

But there’s this under tone of Betty constantly giving things up for Simon and we don’t really talk about it a lot???

Like, Betty let Simon have his moment with the artifact and the pubic, she also doesn’t go to her trip in favor of going on an expedition with Simon. Then when she goes to leave again she stays for Simon.

Even Fiona is like “you went with her on the bus?” And Simon just looks all confused like “what? No, why would I do that?” Like- hello???

Then after that she gave up her entire life and mind to get Simon back to the point where she literally says “I don’t know who I am without him anymore.” And that just sucks! Since the beginning Betty has been the one giving up the most, her mind, her own possible career, and it’s a story of love of course and it’s very sweet but it’s also a story of sacrifice.

Their love wasn’t a perfect solution, it was already sort of imbalanced when it started and I lowkey love how we see those cracks even before they’re together.

Again, I love their relationship and I think it’s sweet. I just think we should talk about Betty’s side more, especially when she tells a story of what most women do in relationships, sacrifice.

#fiona and cake spoilers #fiona and cake #simon petrikov #betty grof #It made itself really apparent in these newest episodes and I couldn’t stop thinking abt it #like Betty idolized Simon before they formally met so of course she was gonna drop everything to go on that expedition with him #but it was more after that too like she was going to leave to study in Australia but Simon stopped her #and Betty’s a grown woman she can make her own decisions #but even Betty’s friend was like ‘don’t make her miss the bus!’ because Betty had a real opportunity to do something else #and maybe It’s that true love trumps all or what ever but the way they frame it in the show feels weird to me #like Why have Fiona ask if Simon got on the bus with Betty if it wasn’t important??? #the way Simon responds feels weird too he responds like Fiona doesn’t make sense when asking that question #BUT ITS VALID Like why wouldn’t you encourage Betty to go off and maybe start her own career?? #or just go with her?? like she gave up stuff to go on your exhibition why wouldn’t you return the favor??? #and obviously Simon doesn’t do this on purpose I’m not saying he did #he didn’t guilt trip or force Betty or even ask her to give up these things to be with him Betty did all that on her own #i think it’s just interesting the way the show frames their relationship #like Betty gives up a lot to be with Simon in Fiona and Cake and in adventure time too #but she idolizes Simon and after Simon becomes IK she’s chasing after the man he used to be #meanwhile everyone learns to live with who IK is now it was just Betty who was clinging to Simon the whole way through #obviously they love each other and respect each other but I think Betty idolizing Simon didn’t just stay when they were kids #or college students or what ever it keto’s going even when the world ended and Simon became Ice King #this is was so much more than I planned on writing-

Bro after trump became president I was like idk 15 or 16 its embarrassing to say it but I did believe all that shit about third party voters to blame and lesser evil but as the years went by and closer to election quickly grew up and read more and like I realized it was all bullshit. These "vote biden or else the tigers will eat all our faces" ppl just never grew up and realized that there is no lesser evil and that as much as they think they believe themselves to be sympathetic and progressive to marginalized ppls (which is why they claim they have to vote for biden) they unconsciously dehumanized the people who live under genocide because of this country. Like palestinians being killed bulldozed and tortured is not an unfortunate flaw of the biden administration. this is how the US functions and it won't change and you not having politics outside of "vote blue" shows me you're okay with that as long as you get symbolic gestures from biden that he cares about democracy 💙

#idk how did u go through the trump presidency and not see the contradictions #and as biden put america back into the world as he called it not see the contradictions and realized the futility of it all

girl mclaren didnt invite him. they were just the closest garage for him to attend and he had to say that for pr reasons.

bffr nobody made him say this whole ass paragraph for pr reasons…. donald trump isn’t a popular figure. they would obviously know the optics were bad if he was to praise him. he should have said something neutral and kept it moving - that would have been the best pr move. not supporting a racist, misogynistic criminal. he isn’t a victim here. he has agency, he has power and the sooner you realise that the better.

#please open ur eyes #ik u like him but hes still a person #hes not immune to criticism #also zak was all buddy buddy with trump… i doubt the fia asked him for that #last post on this. im moving back to normal posting #anon ask #lando norris
