"Don't make me point to the sign"

*All politics is about violence*

absolutely shredding holy crap 🔥

One of the highly specific problems of communicating in support of Palestine is that the general public has been so conditioned to accept that the issue is "complicated" that they will intuitively resist any attempt to understand how shallow the Zionist position really is.

if you're writing 'the left has gone too far' or 'the lgbtqs have gone too far' in the year of our fascism 2025 you have chosen a side and trust us, we have taken note

its critical right now to keep reasserting our actual values so that we don’t forget that the baseline of humanity we are currently fighting for isn’t the actual end goal

i’m not fighting for a world where people don’t get snatched up by ICE. i’m fighting for a world with no borders.

- a plan for supporting those who lose their jobs/healthcare
- one of the demands being universal healthcare, to make it worth ppl losing their healthcare in the strike
- a plan for providing essential goods and services to make up for the lack of them due to strike

Things that might also help:
- Simultaneously calling for a rent strike - since many ppl may not be able to pay rent without income, if everyone rent strikes where applicable it will allow us to put more pressure on that system as well
- Many of my coworkers being down to strike

Mainly I would need reasonable confidence that the majority of ppl signed up are actually committed to striking, and demands that balance achievability and properly addressing systemic issues. Losing my job is a worthy sacrifice for achieving real systemic change that benefits everyone long term

(part of me wonders if it's to keep random club DJs from doing obnoxiously pretentious bullshit and make them just play the dang track lol)

Yea it's actually bonkers to me that industry standard flagship equipment doesn't have all the features that some of their other stuff has

A screenshot of a headline from ABC News reading 'No one is above the law': AG Bondi blasts judges accused of helping undocumented immigrants evade arrest U.S. authorities arrested Judge Hannah Dugan and former Judge Joel Cano. https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-hannah-dugan-arrested-fbi-allegedly-helping-undocumented/story?id=121161497

For years, we've warned that as Donald Trump consolidates control of the state, Democrats' rhetoric that "No one is above the law" will be used against them.

Confronting a tyrannical regime, it's better to remember what Hannah Arendt said: “No one has the right to obey.”

Whenever I feel that way I try to remind myself that it sucks for reasons that are almost exclusively other people's fault.

The vicious mercenaries who are kidnapping people off the streets of the United States right now all have names and addresses.

Every one of them must experience personal consequences for the harm that they are inflicting on our friends and neighbors.

There is no excuse.

Identity of the officer on the left has been found

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

I think framing the issue as "saving lives" by not polluting is part of the problem.

We're not saving lives by not polluting because that's the default state. Letting businesses pollute = letting them get away with slow homicide.

We should object to allowing homicide no matter who is killed

But if one becomes known for repeatedly letting problems turn into crises and only asking for/accepting help then, they may find that others are less willing to help avert the crisis or even distance themselves altogether.

Caring ppl want to help loved ones when they're in crisis - we know it's not always avoidable and asking for help is hard.

Asking for/accepting help even when you don't think you "need" it means people are helping you when they feel like they have capacity to. They can turn down your request or postpone the offer without worrying about what will happen to you if they don't.

When you're in a crisis, the help you require will likely be urgent and the situation will be emotionally challenging for everyone involved. Others around you may not have the capacity to help right then even if they wish they could do something.

A recent situation with a friend has schooled me on why it's important to ask for/accept help often.

It's healthier for relationships if those who care about you are given a chance to help you proactively, rather than being in a position of reacting when you are in full crisis mode.

The US was certain it could beat the Vietnamese into submission

The Montgomery Bus Boycott looked for a long while like it wouldn’t work

Napoleon had a better prepared army than Russia

It really ain’t over until it’s over

To be absolutely, 100% clear, THIS is something that ends in “then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out”

The 100 million number is total bullshit too, it counts births that didn't happen, among other things

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

A person of indeterminant gender, wearing camouflage and with their face painted in camouflage, aims a rifle.

A rainbow destroys a tank.

If you're being forced out of the military on account of your gender as a result of Trump's return to power, we invite you to enlist in the real struggle for freedom. This is more honorable than fighting on behalf of those who hate you—and it's a fight that we cannot avoid.

Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual (LGB) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGB civil rights a...

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument.
