Ahead of the expected announcement that Saudi Arabia will be appointed chair of the UN women’s rights forum at the annual meeting of the UN Commission of the Status of Women today, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Advocacy, Sherine Tadros, said: “The Commission on the Status of Women...www.amnesty.org
But they’ll see it as a badge of honour. The 2024 non voters were disinterested in voting. Doubt this will make them doubt their choiceIt's just a statement of facts at this point.
Tie it around their necks and hang it on them for the next 2 years.
Yes, the fascists will see this as a badge of honor. It's the entire point of being a fascist, in fact. They get to decide who is human or not.But they’ll see it as a badge of honour. The 2024 non voters were disinterested in voting. Doubt this will make them doubt their choice

Fair enoughAt least MBS is letting women drive and has tried to be more progressive than his predecessors.
So I'll let him have this one.. is it as progressive as we like? No.
Is it more progressive than was there before? Hell yes.
So small steps..
Have you thought about or read theories on an event called The Singularity. It's based on the fact that the acquisition of knowledge is accelerating algorithmically. I see no way that small steps will be able to save us. A revolution in human consciousness is required. Climate change, nuclear weapons clean water adequate food supply, so many issues, what will it take for people to see the writing on the wall. What do people do when faced with the truth, wish everyone else their own state of misery. "Please oh please let me kill myself in my sleep."At least MBS is letting women drive and has tried to be more progressive than his predecessors.

I get the sentiment but if things go as bad as I think they are going to go, firearms are just going to make someone's situation devolve even faster. Unless we go full apocalypse and the government completely collapses, if you get into a situation where firearms are required, you're just going to move to the top of the list of issues the government needs to take care of.Yes, the fascists will see this as a badge of honor.

If that and the next 2/4 years allows non-voters to remain apathetic, then it's game over anyway. The American fascists of the 1930s were just 100 years ahead of their time. It's their country, you're just living in it...for now.
Find a mutual aid community and work with them to do the things you need to do to survive.
And for the love of fuck, for any liberals still whining about firearms, THIS IS WHY THERE IS A SECOND AMENDMENT. Quit own-goaling yourselves in the face. It's embarrassing.
Safely owning and knowing how to operate a firearm isn't to defend yourself against a platoon of the US Army with armored units. If it comes down to that then it's too late.I get the sentiment but if things go as bad as I think they are going to go, firearms are just going to make someone's situation devolve even faster.

I recon if you can do in two before being shot yourself it's a win.Safely owning and knowing how to operate a firearm isn't to defend yourself against a platoon of the US Army with armored units. If it comes down to that then it's too late.
It's being able to defend yourself, your family, and your community against a militia acting under color of law.
The question is whether you believe that US fascists are going to embolden private militias to go out hunting.
If you don't think that it's possible, continue not safely owning and knowing how to operate a firearm. Everything is going to be just fine, nothing to worry about. Midterms are in two years, watch some TV. This is fine.
If you think it is possible, then your options are being a nice polite liberal who just puts up their hands before being murdered, or putting up a fight if need be.
The strawman here is that non-fascists owning a firearm are only doing so to take on the US military and a tanks rolling down your street.
The actual argument is that there's usually a lot of time, often years, where individuals could have defended themselves but "chose" not to.
I don't. I don't forsee roving militias, at least not without the full backing of government. It just doesn't make any sense. Help me make it make sense. If there is a roaming militia that isn't backed by the government, the government will go after it. If the government isn't going after it, then the government tacitly supports said militia, and when you shoot some of that militia, even in self defense, the government is going to come after you.Safely owning and knowing how to operate a firearm isn't to defend yourself against a platoon of the US Army with armored units.

Many states have stand your ground laws. Basically, whomever survives gets the benefit of the doubt. Especially if you are in your house, your yard, in your car, etc.I don't.

It makes sense that Trump would never get elected but people have voted to destroy the country. Killing Democrats is an easy next step once you realize there is no such thing any more as sense. The hatred of self has spoken and people will lust for payback on those selected as the source of their pain. What could never happen did. If the Jews had been armed do you think they would have gone quietly to the camps?I don't. I don't forsee roving militias, at least not without the full backing of government. It just doesn't make any sense. Help me make it make sense. If there is a roaming militia that isn't backed by the government, the government will go after it.
