I don’t care what they’re supposedly “about;” dignity and self-determination are important principles to me

Does anyone seriously think Michelle Obama is “as left progressive as it gets”?? Is the overton window so fucked that neoliberal ideas are now considered progressive?

When Michelle Obama did that shit, I ended up underweight and had to start spending more money on food

You sound like the kind of person who doesn’t give homeless people cash so they can’t spend it on drugs. Just let people find a little joy and make their own choices

I’m as left progressive as it gets

Lmao, you’re clearly not

##Update:

• Authorities have ruled out a cyberattack, with investigations indicating the outage was caused by a “very strong oscillation in the electrical network” that led Spain’s power system to disconnect from the European system, collapsing the Iberian electricity network

• Possible causes include a rare atmospheric phenomenon affecting high-voltage lines or a cyberattack; investigations are ongoing.
• The blackout disrupted traffic lights, public transport (trains, metro), airports, and telecommunications.
• Hospitals operated on emergency power; many surgeries were suspended; urgent patient transfers prioritized.
• Emergency plans were activated; Madrid raised its emergency level and considered military support to maintain order.
• Power restoration began gradually but full recovery could take 6 to 10 hours.

You still haven’t shown your credentials 😤

You’d better be vegan, if you’re interested in not being a huge hypocrite.

Also, this image could’ve been generated locally using barely any resources. Flux, e.g., is quite good and highly efficient

Edit: (I’m a lvl 9 vegan btw)
