The idea that capitalism = freedom is a myth.
Capitalism restricts freedom in countless ways.
Under highly capitalist systems, basic needs are commodified. Freedom becomes paywalled. Rich people have freedom, poor people don't.

@RepYassAnsari You have no constitutional right to call for the 25th Amendment though, do you?
English
Trump is escalating a devastating, illegal war, threatening massive war crimes and targeting civilian infrastructure in Iran. In the last 48 hours alone, the rhetoric has crossed every line. Pete Hegseth is complicit.
I’ve called for the 25th Amendment and am introducing Articles of Impeachment against Hegseth.
Scott MacFarlane@MacFarlaneNews
NEW: Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) says she’ll file for impeachment articles against Pete Hegseth Ansari: “Only Congress has the power to declare war, not a rogue president or his lackeys. Hegseth’s reckless endangerment of U.S. servicemembers and repeated war crimes, including bombing a girls’ school in Minab, Iran and willfully targeting civilian infrastructure, are grounds for impeachment and removal from office.”

@BenjaminPDixon @theleakyquill But God is not OF this world, is He?

Family, will you help me manifest love and safety on the people of Iran as our demented president is planning his horrors against them?
To our neighbors in Iran:
We love you,
Your life matters as much as ours,
The joy of your children matters as much as the joy of our own,
May the great evil visiting this planet be eternally broken.
In Jesus's name I pray,
and for humanity's sake,
Inshallah.

@MikeNellis Are you against teenagers deciding to be mothers?
Are you equally against them deciding to be trans?
English
Earlier today, I said something on Newsmax that was not true.
I said that Arkansas is the teen pregnancy capital of the United States.
I was wrong.
Turns out, it’s Mississippi—Arkansas actually has the second-highest teen pregnancy rate.
I sincerely apologize to those hurt by my comments, especially Republican politicians in Southern states who work so hard to create more teen mothers.
Keep at it, I guess.

@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT Please screenshot and explain.
Also please answer one of the two questions I posed to you.
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT No, you weren't. Every time I tried to pin you down on one you pivoted to something nonsensical.
English
Transphobia is not a “different belief.”
It’s an ideology designed to justify and advocate for the harm of vulnerable people.
It causes the rise in hate crimes and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
You cannot tolerate “political views” like this, because it’s intolerant to human lives.
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT I was clear about my arguments, you haven’t made one.
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT Because you try to motte and bailey around any attempt to pin down any argument you make. You're not nearly as clever as you think you are.
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT And you have not opposed anything I have put forth, and not answered my question I have asked.
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT Yes. And so far you haven't put forward a coherent argument let alone a compelling one.
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT You believe they don’t, that’s why you want me to convince you they do.
*yawn*
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT Well you've certainly given me no reason to believe they should, but that honestly seems more down to your absolutely atrocious rhetorical ability more than anything.
English
@pblctrustissues @YoungParikPatel @shortmagsmle Right. How are the semiconductor chips ban working ? How is the tariffs working ? It’s incredible we export medical fentanyl to almost 40 countries, the only one that has issues with it being a recreational drug is you. Number 1 social media amongst young adults….waxing?

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT You didn’t say, you demonstrated.
Again, you don’t think females have a moral right to male-free spaces?
Can you explain how that does not imply males have a right to female-only spaces?
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT I did not say anything remotely to that effect. You might want to stop projecting your own uncharitability onto others.
English
@GBX_Press These countries would not stand up to Iran. You think they’ll stand up to its victor?
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT Why would you answer questions, make good faith arguments, or be logically consistent?
You’ not make that argument because you have a shred of integrity.
You believe women don’t have a moral right to inviolation, and your integrity prevents you from saying it.
English
@pblctrustissues @BeachesMag73185 @DarrigoMelanie Hell no. I want to be selfish and keep all of what little money I have instead of giving it to some radicul extremist patriot who protected our freedoms. That's called winning America first. So what if he got blown up? He signed up to die for me, just like he signed up for a loan

@eggandsperm @Qveen_Potato I don’t think a male system understands how to communicate with a Uterus. Plus, where does the cervix go? The tendon inserts to support it? What nerves do you connect it to for central and autonomic nervous system communication?
English
@pblctrustissues @Qveen_Potato They've scrubbed it from their website, but they were founded to make eggs for XY. How do you feel about uterus transplants into XY? Successful in XX, but killed The Danish Girl? I think unethical due to risk but pregnancy is a right of women.
English
It's amusing how they narrowed it down to just the Y chromosome, if you possess that or not.
Not your birth sex, not your presentation, just the existence or lack of Y.
That's not how biology works it's not a binary 😭

Snooker’s governing body has banned trans women from women’s tournaments ➡️ bit.ly/3Okb9On
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT And if you want to argue the case that trans women have a moral right to the protection of female only spaces, you’ll need to show the rates of unwanted pregnancies in the trans-woman community.
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT You're welcome to attempt proving to me that trans women are overrepresented in rape statistics then.
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT I don’t have to.
Trans women are male, and impregnation only happens from males to females.
Women’s moral right to male-free spaces rests on their moral right to not be impregnated against their will.
It applies to all biological males, regardless of cis/trans identity.
English
@MadamLaconic @nyaraVT Being impregnated w/o consent is a profound violation, usingsomeone’s body for reproduction against their will.
Morally, no one has the right to impose that on another person. That’s a baseline protection, not a preference.
Women have that risk, among others. Hence the rights.
English
@pblctrustissues @nyaraVT And neither do you considering why you can't explain why they should.
