Investing in Women and Eradicating Poverty - Women’s Media Center On October 17, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty presents a call to action to end poverty and uproot the systems that create it.

When women’s talents and leadership are underutilized, communities lose half their human capital. Conversely, when they gain income and power, benefits multiply across households, communities, and economies. A call to collective action: womensmediacenter.com/news-feature...

What just happened? The No Kings marches and what they mean.

Monday's not even over, but here's your Tuesday post for Degenerate Art! I wrote about going to the No Kings events in DC Saturday, why they're an important step (a beginning!), and what to do next, if you're trying still to figure it out. I also opine on why the NYPD et al. put out those releases.

Once again this is a regular attendee at the SF trans nerd meetup and a valued member of our community.

Supporting people's capacity for joy and connection is important work. One little thing at a time. Your delight is not frivolous.

hell yeaj

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

This is the way.

Your dissent matters.

Organized people and organized money are our greatest tools in fighting back against the authoritarian regime in the White House.

In protesting peacefully we reclaim our cities and communities from state brutality. These are our spaces, our homes.

Two photos. 1. Knit frog eyes in oval shape with flat bottom. Pupil of red or black with a white highlight. Circled with white and green on back. 2. Woman wearing a green beanie with a frog mouth drawn on brim, two nostrils on crown, and the knit on frog eyes sewn on top.

Knit some Frog Eyes you can add to any beanie or balaclava to show your support and solidarity.

I am loving all the resistance art I'm seeing on the Craftiverse list!!

😍

!! This is such a great idea!!

!!! This is such a great idea!

Is it that her cute little face can interrupt you any time??? 😆

Yes! Except the part about being sad about periods ending. That part needs to happen FASTER. Who is actually sad about that?!

😆😭🤪🤡

Thank you!! This drives me crazy. Can we not double down on body shaming??

Not sure what he did wrong

The people behind the inflated protests are performing a monumental service to democracy & peace in the US. The Regime wants riots, but these animal characters are not only an effective protest, grabbing attention & mocking ICE, they seem to reduce the risk of violent protests. It's perfect.

Good morning,

We start today with a message from the frog resistance. Stay weird Portland 💚

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

Saturday is going to be huge, boisterous and joyful: “It doesn’t matter if you’ve never protested before. This is a place for you if you believe we don’t do kings in this country.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social to @maddow.msnbc.com

YouTube video by Zohran Mamdani for NYC Until It's Done: Sylvia Rivera

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I've seen so much of this lately on this app. It's super irritating. Google lense can easily copy text from images, it takes less than a minute to copy and paste it in.
