Israel wants to use nuclear bombs against Palestinians. Israel wants to use NUCLEAR FUCKING BOMBS AGAINST PALESTINIANS! This is not a war, this is a genocide. This is an act of hell on earth literally. Not only do nuclear bombs have a blast radius up to half a mile, it pollutes the sea, and the air around it for decades to come. Think Chernobyl. Not only would it wipe out Gaza completely, it would make Gaza uninhabitable for anyone, effectively destroying the climate even more in the process. Mind you Israel has already attacked Lebanon and Yemen with the help of the US, UK and Canada. This will not stop at Palestine. Share, boost, share on other platforms, call and email your representatives, protest, sign petitions, boycott. This isn’t a joke, this isn’t something that doesn’t effect you, this is not normal to be witnessing day in and day out, this type of violence is not fucking normal. Palestinians are human beings just like you and me, can’t say the same for the Zionists backing this.

I keep seeing posts from people in the US debating whether to vote for Biden in their upcoming elections to stop Trump from winning again or to punish the democrats for aiding Israel in the genocide of Palestine.
I'm argentinian and as far as I'm concerned, you should vote for whichever candidate you think will benefit you more, because you're from the US and that's all it's good for. The rest of the world will continue to suffer at your hands no matter what. Let me explain.
Democrats and republicans are not a representation of left and right wing politics: both parties are on the right side of the spectrum, only the GOP is more honest about it.
Republicans, as right wing parties do, run on promises of austerity, reducing taxes and being tough on crime. Democrats run promising to use tax money to ease your life: affordable healthcare, education and housing, all guaranteed so you can live the life of a first world citizen.
And then, they don't deliver.
You still have school shootings, massive incarceration, corruption in all levels of government, and the poorest pay a higher proportion of taxes than the richest. Healthcare, education and housing are extremely expensive and often require people to get into heavy debt to afford to have their most basic needs met, and that's only possible if you have good credit.
It's a reductive analysis for the sake of brevity, but you get the gist. The point is that having you be poor and afraid is the goal: it's a feature, not a bug.
You want to go to college? You need to buy a house? You want to start a family? Well, the military complex needs bodies! The US has far too many enemies to their way of life, so they'll need people to defend it! In exchange, they'll "guarantee" just enough money that you won't be destitute.
The US spends the most amount of money on their military in the world, by a long shot. To justify spending that kind of money, you HAVE to have wars. To have wars, you need enemies.
So, you get propaganda. "Muslims are extremists and hate our way of life." "Latin americans want to come to our country and steal our jobs." "China and Russia are communist countries that are waiting to destroy us." And you gobble it up.
You love it so much. It's in your news, in your videogames, in your movies and TV series and comic books. So, when they ask you to fight, you go running! You'll get some money out of it and you'll get to live your life the way you were promised. Sure, PTSD from the horrors is a given, but there's pills for that! And award winning movies about how difficult it is to go to war! It's all covered.
So the small, poor countries that you invade lose their money, natural resources, and their sovereignty but HEY, you brought democracy there! And the US is protected from this many enemies! Mission accomplished, right?
Well, as a citizen of a third world country whose current president is an insane pawn of the GOP, I'd like to say fuck you. He was placed so that the US could take our recently discovered lithium, and you'll get it. Enjoy your shitty iPhone 5000 I guess. It'll come at the small price of the hunger of my countrymen, but since Twitter user dan91883719 says argentinians all descend from escaped nazis, I guess it's alright.
Israel has killed Palestinians and illegally expanded its borders for over 70 years. Both democrats and republicans have sent aid and weapons to make this possible. It's in the US best interests to have conflict in the Middle East and have an ally control the area. Israel is a feature, not a bug.
And those of you who vote blue? You're trapped. Even if you know it's shit, you're unable to organize. Instead of rallying to form a new party, or a at least get a better candidate, you keep voting bad instead of worse and pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Democrats are well aware of this and that's why they run on platforms that promise to make your life better and then sit back and say "our hands are tied" when you lose rights.
So, if you're still doubting it, vote for whoever the fuck you want. The war machine that you call 'country' won't stop no matter who's president, because those who hold the real power are already getting exactly what they want from it. Your suffering as US citizens is just as planned as the suffering of those who live outside of it.
TL,DR: Vote for whichever candidate you feel will defend your interests best. Lord knows it won't make a lick of difference for the rest of the world, because both political parties have the same plans when it comes to foreign policy.

Save everything
To everyone who is supporting Palestine, who are reblogging and posting and protesting and putting pressure on those in power who are letting this genocide happen without consequence, I implore you to all do this important thing: Save. Everything. Interviews, videos, news articles, tweets, statistics ect. Anything and everything about Palestine, save it all. Anything and everything about supporting Israel, save it all. Because one day -- maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, maybe not even at the end of this year and the start of the next, but one day -- those who support Israel are going to try to brush everything they've done under the rug. Politicians, journalists, celebrities, brands - they will try to rewrite their parts in this. Because one day there will be a permanent ceasefire. One day Israel will be tried for this genocide that began years before October 7th. And those who supported them will try to change this about themselves -- not in the honest 'I've learned from this, realised my mistakes, I regret it and worked to better myself' way.
No, it's the selfish 'I need better PR' way. Don't let it happen. Don't let them get away with it. Remind them who they supported. Remind them of the genocide they defended. Save everything and when the time comes, shove it in their faces and tell them no, you don't get to wash away what you've done so easily. You don't. Don't let them rewrite the narrative. Don't let them try to be the heroes they never were. Save everything. Make back-ups of back-ups. Save it to the Wayback Machine. Whatever way you can think of, save it. Don't let it disappear. Don't let it be forgotten. Don't let them rewrite history.

[Washington has just become the first state in the United States to develop a statewide strategy to conserve bumble bees. Research has shown significant declines in native pollinators globally, and unfortunately bumble bees are no exception. In response to these declines, partners convened in Washington state to address the issue head-on, creating a strategy led by the Xerces Society in partnership with the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.]

The USA is generous enough to forgive disobedient Israel (Essay)
Tumblr media
Even if the USA tells them to stop the massacre of Palestinians, Israel, which cannot survive without the protection of the USA, won’t listen. Where does this arrogance come from? I think Israel controls the USA. A pressure group called AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is critical. Jews, who have made a living in finance for centuries, are entangled in donations to politicians in general in the USA, whether Republican or Democratic. Its influence is said to be stronger than that of the Gun Association, so you can see how powerful it is. Israel is making fun of the USA.
The other day, when President Biden proposed large-scale aid to Ukraine and Israel to Congress, apart from Ukraine, which needs arms and ammunition, the support for Israel was passed without any conditions, regardless of Democratic or Republican party. The power of AIPAC is great.
In addition, the Republican Party's base of support, the stupid and good-natured(!) Evangelicals, unconditionally support Israel, the "Kingdom of God," and during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the USA consistently supported Israel. There is also the fact that they have been supporting the government. Because of these factors, the USA cannot go against Israel.
However, some groups are not controlled by Israel. 70% of young adults oppose the Biden administration's Israel policy. They are saying no to Israel's despicable methods based on information from the ground without being bound by preconceptions. The future of the USA depends on these young people.

USAは、言うことを聞かないイスラエルを許すほど寛大だ(エッセイ)
USAが、パレスチナ人の虐殺だけは止めろと言っても、USAの庇護がなければやっていけないイスラエルは聞かない。この傲慢さはどこから来るのだろうか?USAはイスラエルに支配されていると思う。特にAIPAC(アメリカイスラエル広報委員会)という圧力団体が重要だろう。何世紀にも渡って、金融で生きてきたユダヤ人が、USAの政治家一般―共和党であれ、民主党であれ、献金で篭絡しているのだ。その影響力は、銃・ガン協会よりも強いというから、その力のほどが知れよう。イスラエルはUSAを舐めている��だ。
この前、バイデン大統領がウクライナとイスラエルに対する大型支援を議会に提案した時、本当に武器・弾薬を必要とするウクライナはさておき、イスラエル支援については、民主、共和党の別なく無条件で可決された。AIPACの力は大きい。
他にも、共和党の支持母体であるバカでお人よし集団である福音派が無条件で「神の国」イスラエルを支持しているとか、ソヴィエトとの冷戦の過程で、USAはイスラエルを一貫して支持してきたという事情もある。これらの要因で、USAは、イスラエルに逆らえないのだ。
だが、イスラエルにコントロールされていない層も出てきている。若年層の70%は、バイデン政権のイスラエル政策に反対している。彼らは予断に囚われず、現地からの情報から、イスラエルの卑劣なやり方にノー、と言っているのだ。USAの将来は、このような若者たちに懸っている。

Aomine’s Future (Headcanon)
Now, I’m not going to ignore arguably the most popular KNB husbando out there! I hope you all enjoy and forgive me for the minor sidenote at the end. -Obviously he’s going to move to the US in the future, and I think he’s going to stay there for the rest of his life and not go back to Japan once his career at the NBA is over. -But, he will definitely still be into things from back home like idol culture. -Whilst he is interested in joining the police force after his career, I don’t think he will actually go through with that as devoting his time to making people abide the rules when he seems to hate them himself wouldn’t work out for him. That’s more of a young boy’s fantasy he will grow out off. -I can, however, see him finish his auto-biography and perhaps write a book or two more, but being a writer won’t be his main job after his NBA days. -He will probably work in the athletic world for the rest of his life, he’s a basketball junkie. Whether he becomes a coach, or a sports commentator, Aomine is not giving up on basketball. Ever. -Considering he’s going to Cleveland, and according to the internet, its actually really big in the beer industry, can I see Aomine rewatching his old matches with his fridge stocked with beer? Yes. He’s definitely that kind of guy. -He might own a few lame baseball caps. -Doesn’t settle down before 30. Perhaps not even before he hits his forties. -I can see him owning a dog or two as an adult. -He certainly has his own jacuzzi and a pool. Guy’s a bath-time fan. -He’ll definitely use that bubble bath of his to impress the women he takes home. -Would prefer girls who like beer over girls who don’t. -Over time, I can see him evolving from a big boob guy to a guy who loves a big boobs + large ass combo.  -I can imagine him trying to pick up good looking dweebs for one night stands using being a Japanese athlete to his advantage. (I can even imagine him actually having tried to pull the ‘I’m hot and Japanese’ on Alex but it wouldn’t work due to the age gap). -Unless Momoi were to start pursuing him, I feel like he’ll end up with an American girl. -If he goes on the route of marrying another celeb, then he’ll end up with a Japanese-American idol. No doubt about it. This man is a huge idol fan, and one that’s actually living in the US and could even teach him more about the country would be a big bonus for him. -If he goes on the route of marrying a normal American girl, I feel like he won’t go for an Asian girl but white or black, actually. I mean, I do think Aomine would be into some of black culture and a curvy black woman, but canonically he has only expressed interest in white women like Marilyn Monroe and Alex when it comes to foreign women so either of the two are on table. He’s definitely interested into an interracial relationship (which leads me to another one who I think is pro-interracial and my side-note).
  (the only other character we know is fan of an American actress, is Midorima as he likes Elizabeth Taylor. With him going to Boston and all, yes, I can see this guy being into British white girls, and likely north-west European white girls in general. This guy definitely would prefer the traditional old world over the new world, and the countries of this area are rich, influential and most of them are innovators in the medical technology field, etc. So I can see Midorima actually developping an interest in that region of Europe and considering moving to any of these countries after his NBA days. Also, did you know the Olympic gold medalist, the Flying Dutchman, Epke Zonderland, has also studied medicine? Just imagine these two handsome athletes working at the same hospital. I feel like there would be women who’d get sick/injured on purpose, just saying).

Guys I'm so fucking confused. There's so much "commonfolk" here living in the US and so many of us are pointing out how shitty everything is. The fact that we cant afford anything and now they're making it illegal to be homeless, so we're going to be put on the labor camps of a prison system and be forced to work for the same fucking companies that refused to give us a livable wage. We are so interconnected that we see this and we know this and we talk about this yet we say nothing can happen and we dont do shit. The majority of people in the US are us getting exploited and by all means we should do something to let them know that we mean shit.
The government is already mad at us for supporting Palestinian, for standing with PoC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, women, and everyone else getting fucked by the system. They think we're getting brain washed by tik tok when in reality we are living in a corporate capitalistic fucking nightmare where we are more interconnected than ever. We can, we should, do something!
This post isn't meant to be a "I feel that" and move on. If I wasn't disabled to the point where leaving my house is a big deal I'd be protesting and we all should. They can pay us a livable wage, they can give us these rights but they won't. So boycott protest do whatever you can! And I don't mean one person I mean everybody if can. This wont just affect your neighbor or someone you dont know, the pipeline will keep going until you're affected too. So stand the fuck up and revolt!
We live in a nation founded on so much horrible shit but the one thing we got right is to say "fuck you" to the higher ups and started a revolution and I say we are damn overdue for one.
Also "higher ups" and "they" aren't to be taken as antisemitism shit, who need to be fighting for and given the rights same as any of us. It's for the supreme court, the Senate, the corporations that refuse to give us our worth.
