I have seen this picture so many times and never ever saw the ty at the bottom 🤯

They're saying that there shouldn't be one because we shouldn't need one.

All spectrum of existence and life is valid equally. No discrimination due to no prosecution occurring across the spectrum and therefore no aspect of the range is special. When none is special, then there is no reason to center an identity around it BECAUSE it's accepted by society.

As a thought experiment, imagine if we discriminated based on height and based an entire identity on introducing yourself as a "#mountain queen👸" or something

I agree that more could have been done, but we don't live in a perfect world. Personally, his speech has inspired me to get involved with the protests April 5th. The visibility of SOMEONE doing something has directly encouraged ONE individual to reach out to friends and acquaintances to join protesting.

There is censorship in mainstream media with protests. They can't censor a senator that broke a record speaking for the American people. His timing could have the impact of inspiring others and validation of the american people's fears and pain. Especially when there is a big protest planned this Saturday across the country that is the same week that our voices were given power.

Giving power to the voices of America is important when censorship is at an all time high and gives validity to the struggles and hardship that we are going through. Our pain must have visibility to inspire change.

Now we have saying and slogans to promote. Finding good trouble and redeem the dream give hope and expression that are shorthand for what we want and will fight for in our hearts.

Dude, breaking records is how to get the media to pay attention, spread the message and hopefully encourage resistance.

Putting down others who take a stand instead of promoting change (aka progressive ideals) is counterintuitive to the term Radical Leftist that you claim to be.

If you are interested in defeating fascism, then give constructive criticism and ideas to fight back. Don't put out the fire instead of feeding it.

Sauce? Please let this be real 🙏

It seems to me that you're very focused on the end result of 'issue is solved' potentially without understanding and/or acknowledgement of the other person's efforts to solve the issue on their own.

Of course they should take the time to reciprocate when you're the one seeking resolution.

Listening to someone and allowing them time to vent to their own conclusion is to take part of their emotional journey. They may want your solutions eventually, but they want to have the human connection of going through that journey together so that way you have all the context for their feelings/stress.

People don't come to others for help and want to defend their previous actions. They just want to say that they're frustrated, this is what they did, this is what happened, and maybe that's all they want. Listening = validation of the human experience. Maybe after venting, they'll want some solutions.

Personally I have a hard time telling if someone wants a venting session or a solutions session. So I just straight up ask what they need and if they'll want to check in on the solutions after venting. This saves you the emotional labor required to try to help someone that doesn't want it and keeps the chance of frustration/unfulfillment low for both parties

Family though is a mixed bag. Unless both parties are operating under the same expectations, it'll lead to what you described. Understandable that you just don't get it since the fault is not on you
