IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

The symbol for anarchy

ACAB and 1312

The three arrows pointing down in a circle

Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

“It is a sin to covet another man’s kill.”

— Karl Valley (Father Valley) shoots and kills a sniper belonging to Trish Rollins (Pit Rollins) for trying to kill Selina Kyle (Catwoman), when he was also hired to do just that by Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin), in Catwoman Vol 5 #27 (Jan 2021; 2018, DC Comics) by Ram V (W), Fernando Blanco (A), FCO Plascenia (C), and Tom Napolitano (L).

Aznation, what do you guys think Azrael and Jean-Paul’s reaction would be to the entire Failsafe + Zur-En-Arrh ordeal?

Okay, so, did Brielle always have the System implanted into her prior to Sariel killing the rest of the Arnier family? Because Sariel does say “Can you hear [the Angel-Maker’s] hum? I heard this…as a child.” and then “again, the day I was reborn” likely referring to either the massacre of her family or the one at the monastery.

We guess our question is: When did the revitalised Templars do the programming to Brielle? And what exactly does the Angel-Maker do / what goes into “awakening” (ie is it prior programming that it activates OR actually does both programming and activation)? Maybe both considered Dumas used it to create the Azraels and had no basis for the “angels” since he was just starting / using new technology?

Jean-Paul Valley has been flanderized by fandom for the majority of his fancontent, reduced to a religious fanatic, and oddly assumed to have bigoted conservative morals due to what ppl associate with stereotypical religious fanaticism.

It’s really weird when people automatically label the guy whose family and ancestors grew up in a cult, but is also has repeatedly shown to try to unlearn said cult’s teachings and be a better person, atoning for his past actions, as a perpetual bigoted religious madman?

It’s understandable to make the fanaticism assumption based only on “He’s insanely religious and was brainwashed as a kid” and nothing else, but it’s also making a, while important, beginning era of a character their whole identity, and ignoring their future growth for the sake of either needing an antagonist or something to joke at.

However, the conservatism assumption is confusing, where is that entire piece coming from? Did you not read the Azrael solo, see the destruction of the Order and the entire ordeal with Nicholas Scratch, esp at the end of the series? Or did you just read the Knightfall saga and end your JPV reading at a very transitional point in his history?

Been watching some wrestling lately. We’ve also been thinking about when Samaritan asked Azbat if he ever considered professional wrestling as a career path, and we haven’t stopped thinking about JPV just sweaty and bloody with his skin showing, yeah

Michigan just gave us the rhetorical weapon that could push Biden and the DNC to turn their backs on Israel.

Okay so this is amazing news. Michigan was going to be a key state in the push to get Biden, and the DNC as a whole, to start pressuring Israel, and they have just proven that they have that power.

Background: Michigan is a swing state, and it has 16 votes in the electoral college. Winning Michigan was a major factor in Biden's win back in 2020, and much of that rested on the Arab-American vote. It was also a major factor in Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump in 2016. She lost the state by ten thousand, seven hundred votes.

Praxis: For obvious reasons, Arab-Americans are incredibly upset with Biden's support for Israel, and support in that demographic has gone from 59% in the 2020 election to less than 17% now. As a form of protest, Arab-Americans in Michigan started a campaign to get voters to check "uncommitted" in the Democratic primary. This is an actual box that can be checked, though some less-organized pushes also suggested writing in 'ceasefire' like New Hampshire primary voters did.

The goal was to get at least 10,000 'uncommitted' votes, as that is how many Hillary lost by.

As Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, the first Arab mayor of this majority-Arab city, said:

"We're not sizable enough to make a candidate win, but we're sizable enough to make a candidate lose."

(Source: NPR, 2/25/24)

Result:

As of 10:49 PM EST, 2/27, there are thirty-nine thousand uncommitted votes, according to CNN, which is doing live coverage.

NPR was reporting 30k at 10:14.

As a caveat, New York Times is saying that each of the last three Michigan Dem Primaries had about 20k uncommitted votes, so the 35k isn't all the push for pro-Palestine stances in Congress, but that's still a jump of almost 20k, which is way, way more than the goal.

And they aren't done counting the votes yet. Barely 30% of votes are in. The goal has been blown out of the water.

Other states are reaching out for advice on how to replicate the results.

This is big news.

So can we relax?

Fuck no.

Do what Michigan did. Vote in the Dem primary, and vote uncommitted or write in "ceasefire."

But on a more daily basis, if you have a Democratic candidate, lean on this.

Tell them it will be repeated elsewhere.

This could very well lose the election for Biden and more. The Democrats can't afford another four years of Trump, and they know it. The loss of Michigan can and will tank this election for them, especially since other states that helped Biden win, like Georgia, were also won on demographics that are growing increasingly upset by the situation in Gaza.

Go to the Michigan section of this post and use that in your calls and emails.

But remember. Call your reps. Call your senators. Call your governor, if you'd like. And if they're a Democrat, you bring this up. Be polite, the staffer isn't making these decisions. They might just be an intern. But bring it up and tell them that we are going to lose the presidency if we do not sanction Israel and actually pressure them into not only pulling out of Gaza and the West Bank, but paying reparations.

I haven’t seen a similar post on tumblr, but here’s a few places to donate money and find means to support those in Palestine-

Pious Project provides menstrual care kits as well as soap, shampoo, disinfectants, etc

Gaza Esims lets you donate Esims- these are used to connect to the internet and keep communication going in and out of the country

Operation Olive Branch is a spreadsheet of Gofundmes for families seeking funds to flee the country, each having a link to sponsor them

Here's a reading list from Decolonize Palestine

Stop Gaza Genocide is a google doc that is constantly updated, which includes how to contact representatives, how to protest, and various activist resources (US centric)

Samidoun provides a constantly updating calendar of protests, and you can submit ones not listed if there’s a protest happening near you (Global)

UNRWA and Care for Gaza are orgs that directly provide general aid and food

Lastly, while not inherently about Palestine, I do want to encourage everyone reading this that If you see a post regarding Palestine- a video, a photo, a livestream, a text post- Archive it with the Wayback Machine. When digital information is prone to deletion and censorship, we cannot afford to lose something as valuable as knowledge.
