To the people demanding that those of us who oppose the occupation of Palestine first tweet about how bad Hamas is.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of my tweets--and probably others'--is to potentially change policy. To pressure American politicians.
I'm pretty sure Hamas isn't worried about pressure on social media. I doubt Israel or the US is either but i feel like I have a better shot to effect change by pressuring nation states to hold themselves to higher standards than terrorist organizations. Ffs
Even though I know most of it is pointless since the world had decided Palestinians are the same as hamas and don't deserve to live
But I'm certainly not going to preface every criticism of Israel and the United States with some performative statement that Hamas is bad as if I'm going to ever back a terrorist organization. What the fuck is wrong with y'all

This. Is. Bonkers.

Lorie Smith, the plaintiff in the 303 Creatives and her lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom INVENTED a same sex couple who she claimed asked her to make a wedding website.

The request that forms the basis of this lawsuit is FAKE. https://t.co/plwI7Ovv7fnewrepublic.com/article/173987…
Smith who is a graphic designer is claiming that she shouldn't be forced to make wedding websites for same sex couples.

But here's the thing. She doesn't make wedding websites. We knew that.

Now we know for sure that NO ONE ASKED HER TO MAKE A WEBSITE.

So she and ADF lied.
She filed court documents saying that Stewart and Mike contacted her and asked her to do design work for invites and said that they might want her to create a website.

Again, she didn't make websites when she filed suit.

So @giragrant did some investigating.

lmao ayfkm. Disney’s lawyers are having a field day laughing at him I’m sure 😂
I once litigated a case against Disney about the rights to Winnie the Pooh. I must have been a third year associate at the time. It was WILD
These are lawyers who work literally 24/7 to grind their opponents into dust

i leave for paris in 31 days.

31 DAYS.

My friend asked me how my planning was going and I laughed at the idea that I make plans when I go on vacation.

I went to Italy for 3 weeks in 2017 with no plans but to go to a 3 day beach party in Sardinia and to go to Amalfi Coast.
I planned my entire trip around wanting to go see Amalfi because of the Sapienza mission in Hitman 3.

Hand to god. lol

Now with Paris coming, I feel like I should play some Assassin's Creed Unity to prepare. 🇫🇷 #ABLParis
And I'm going to Paris with the same person I went to Italy, my friend Suna, so I know we travel well together which is HUGE. Sometimes you go on a trip with friends and you realize they want to go to museums all day and you want to go to the cafe and drink prosecco for 6 hours.

ayfkm.

but this is quite possibly some of the dumbest shit i've ever read
Of course the Washington order is out and is contradictory to the Texas one.

lol why. This thread is wildly unnecessary.

He said eradicate and we know what he meant. It’s not worth “probing a bit”. Enough chin-stroking
Can cis people shut up. Jesus.

“We need to eradicate transgenderism.”

“Hmmm. Interesting. Let’s probe that a bit.”

Are you fucking for real right now? In this climate? Just shut up man
These assholes are straight up genocidal. We don’t need to probe that a bit or at all.

I really don’t like these “be nicer to the Duggars or we won’t win” takes.

THe majority of Americans support abortion rights.

We’re not going to win by convincing hypocrites to come to our side.

We have to REFORM THE COURTS.

I just… I’m tired.
That ob/gyn Mama Jones may have convinced a couple people to stay out of other people’s uteri through personal advocacy.

But that’s not going to work broadly.

I’m sorry it’s just not.
She mentioned something about how people in her YouTube comments have had their minds changed on the subject.

And yet on Election Day, I *GUARANTEE* they are voting for Republicans.

It doesn’t matter if you change a single anti’s mind re needing abortive care for miscarriages.
