This is further evidence of apartheid Israel’s continued subjugation of Palestinians, both in the occupied territories and within present-day Israel, which is criminalized under international law and punishable according to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Trans youth who are hurting in Alberta right now, please know SO many of us see you, care about you, and know you deserve to be protected.

We’ve got your back and will do everything we can to keep you safe in the face of attacks from craven, pathetic politicians ❀️

A quote by Greta Thunberg stating that, "The one thing we need more than hope is actoin. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere."

Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?"

My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.)

The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope?

Because Greta is right ..

No one is above the law. Off to jail, ICE. A 45-year-old Riverside County man, identified as an agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has been arrested for allegedly detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty.

And I just… we could do this. We could afford to do this, as a country. There is no good fucking reason why we cannot do this. We simply choose not to because we believe that Jesus loves billionaires more than loser slothful creative people

Peaceful protest against fascists accomplishes two things:

-It allows authorities to identify protestors
-It injures protestors

It does nothing else.

You can't protest a fascist regime. Your country has gone beyond where law or public opinion can change it.

Now or later, it will be violence.

"I don't care that he's dead."
"He's not a hero."
"He's a scumbag."
"He shouldn't be celebrated."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

I'd say 62% is a BIT more than "significant" there, buddy.

LOL.

Update: I offered the amendment. Not to refuse acceptance of the Qatari jet; just to prohibit Trump from taking it with him when he leaves office - after the taxpayers spend $1 billion to retrofit it.

Failed 14-15. Every single Republican voted to allow Trump to take the jet.

At a vigil in Montreal for the child victims of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, advocates have been reading each of these children’s names β€” from youngest to oldest.

They started at 8:00am. By 9:00pm, they had only reached the names of the nine-year-olds.

Men, read this whole thread. Then read the QT’d thread. Then think about it. Because we’re exhausted. We can’t police you - you have to police yourselves. Call out your fellow men. Say, β€œHey, that’s not cool,” when your bud won’t leave a woman alone. BE ALLIES instead of claiming to be allies.

Literally the only case of a trans person doing domestic terrorism I can think of was Ziz / the Zizians, and the violence was not motivated by her transness, it was motivated by a conspiritorial AI death cult ideology and a shitty Harry potter fanfic.

I just forced a vote to try to strip out Republicans' defund Planned Parenthood provision from their Big Ugly bill.

Republicans voted NO. They voted to shutter some 200 health clinics and deny women basic health care like cancer screenings & birth control.

KILL THE BILL!

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

The Big List of Protests The BLOP hosts a large and detailed list of upcoming protest events submitted by users across the United States.

Friends, protesting works. The republicans are cowards. With enough pushback they may alter course. We must keep up the pressure. Turn your rage into action. Don't give in to feelings of helplessness.

Honestly, this number could be much higher. The lost productivity at DOL alone is horrifying.
