You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?

I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

#method speaks #union stuff #politics #i guess #best case scenario in this plan we get some successful union drives #worst case people realize that movement building is hard #and also explicitly mentioning socialism is counterproductive #mostly i'm just venting #it's only april how is election discourse this unhinged already?

Looks like the biden admin is showing the first signs of caving regarding its support for the israeli gvt and is attempting to distance him from it. This should not be allowed to happen. He has a hand in this genocide and stepping away is not enough.

The most recent statements have changed from overt support for israel to a concession that israel's civilian killings are too much, but he's now claiming to be unable to exert enough influence to stop them. This is not true. He is trying to continue allowing it while avoiding culpability when he should be opposing it directly.

Nicknames like genocide joe and genocidin biden seem to have his campaign afraid that he might not win a second term if he keeps aiding ethnic cleansing. Good. Until he halts all material aid he should still be treated as an ongoing genocide supporter. And even after that he will never be clean of the lives of the people he helped put to death.

Imagine being the employee who got to do this. I would treasure this memory for the rest of my life. I don’t think I could ever be truly depressed again if I got to slap this guy

Reminder that Project 2025 is a thing; basically, if a Republican presidential candidate is elected next year, they have every intention of instating a full-on fascist government. Among many other horrible things, Project 2025 intends to criminalize anything trans-related as pornographic, and imprison anyone putting out such "pornography."

We really, really gotta do whatever we can to make sure a Republican candidate isn't elected. I know we're probably gonna be faced with shitty choices yet again (and how I wish it wasn't so), but we cannot afford to let this happen.

Are you a Florida-born trans person who has had your birth certificate ammendment stalled?

It is looking very likely that the State of Florida is refusing to amend trans birth certificates, despite name and gender marker changes currently being legal and having been honored in the past.

My own expedited request has sat aside for "legal review" for over 6 months now.

If this is also happening to you, please contact Equality Florida. There may be grounds for a lawsuit.

In the meantime, get your passport asap. In most cases, it can be used in lieu of a birth certificate when additional ID is needed and it allows you to self-ID for gender.

please read this if you don’t support the fucking genocide

there are palestinian kids who should be in school, getting ready for a new semester. they should be procrastinating their homework, texting their friends. they should get to go home when they feel unsafe or upset.

instead, the school year was suspended on november 6th. over 200 schools have been bombed. more than 7,870 children have been killed. kids do not have a safe place. anywhere. their homes are being destroyed and their schools are being destroyed and the places they used to hang out at and eat at and shop at and pray at and mourn at and live at are actively being destroyed

people of palestine, of all ages, should be living their lives. they should be having normal experiences. they should be going to the movies or redecorating their rooms or celebrating birthdays or scrolling their phones for no reason. but they’re not. they’re not allowed to have the comfort of mindless human joy without constant threat and fear and bloodshed, and it is the fault of israel, the united states, and other fucked corrupt governments.

there have been close to 20,000 palestinian deaths, almost 2.2 million people displaced, and an estimated half of those people face starvation.

we need to fucking do something. the fact that the US still refuses to support a ceasefire is disgusting and evil. the claim that all anti-israeli statements are based in antisemitism is hurting both the people of palestine and jewish people worldwide.

here’s some things you can do:

-donate if you can or ask someone you know to donate

-sign a petition to demand a ceasefire

-fill out a form to email your representative. then do it again. then do it again. then do it again.

-boycott and avoid all companies on this list that you can (especially now that the holidays are rolling around: buy from independent stores, non-big name brands)

-spam text your friends and family with this post and these links

-reblog to spread awareness, interact with other posts that give instructions for direct action, follow palestinian voices

-instead of feeling guilt or denying yourself personal happiness, do all you can to make a difference. it doesn’t matter if you don’t have money to donate or if you’re a minor. you can always contact representatives or sign petitions

DO NOT LET THE GENOCIDE CONTINUE.

Members of the House of Representatives join together in loud applause in the conference room. After passing the equal marriage law, it is prepared to be forwarded to the Senate. [source: The Standard]

Thailand’s lower house passed, on Wednesday, the Marriage Equality Bill which will make it the first country in South East Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. The vote sailed through with a landslide 399 for and only 10 against, effectively bypassing any potential upper house veto.

The bill’s passage is a significant victory for LGBTQ+ advocacy groups in Thailand, who have been campaigning for marriage equality for years. It represents not just a legal change, but a profound statement of inclusion and acceptance in a society known for its vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community. [source: Thai Enquirer]

Like yes sorry I am actually fucking furious that there are people in Israel who have been fighting for peace and equality for Israelis and Palestinians for years and years without acknowledgement or support from the broader international left, and since you weren't spoonfed this information by the Tumblr School of International Relations you wanna just act like it's never existed.

Fuck you.

#i/p stuff #israeli politics #leftist solidarity does not extend to Israeli leftists and thats how you know none of these bastards actually give a fuck about Palestinians

KOSA or the Kids Online Safety Act is an Internet bill being pushed by the American government. It claims its purpose is to "protect" kids, but really its methods of enforcing this is mass censorship and control of the Internet. The passing of this bill would lead to LGBTQ+ related information, reproductive healthcare, and other topics that government officials may find "dangerous" to children be restricted or censored.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

In the website linked above, there is a petition you can sign as well as a pre-filled message you can send. You can also write to your representatives, and if you don't want to come up with an entire message, I've attached sample scripts. Also, go to badinternetbills.com for another petition that references similar bills. For more information about KOSA, you can see this article: eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/don… .

Spread information about this, and do what you can. This bill being passed would mean an era of censorship for the Internet.

FBI person on CNN is now saying that the recovered documents are so sensitive that the FBI is literally going to run secure fingerprint analysis to see who even touched them.

I'm not saying prayer circle to send Donnie Jr., Eric!, and Javanka to jail along with Donnie Sr., but also I am saying exactly that.

#hilary for ts #politics for ts #wapo likewise says some are so classified they can't even be *described* in an unclassified way #and hence were left off the itemization of seized stuff #anyway i repeat: oh please oh please oh PLEASE

So, Freunde der Sonne, mal kurz Tacheles.

Dass AfD Nazis sind ist ja nun indiskutabel und nicht hinterfragbar, dass sie sich mit reichen Leuten zusammentun yadda yadda, alles keine Überraschung. Überraschend ist an der Correctiv-Geschichte im Grunde nur, dass sie sich bei ihren Vertreibungsplänen, Plänen zur Wahlmanipulation und Sturz der Demokratie generell haben erwischen lassen.

Nichtsdestoweniger. "Nix Neues" und "Keine Überraschung" darf nicht davon abhalten, JETZT sein/ihre*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n zu kontaktieren und ein AfD-Verbot zu fordern.

Übrigens kann man seine*n Bundestagsabgeordnete*n ganz einfach über die Bundestagsseite finden (nach Wahlkreis suchen). Dort sind auch Kontaktmöglichkeiten direkt vorhanden:

https://www.bundestag.de/abgeordnete

Wer einen Vorlagentext braucht, darf diesen hier verwenden bzw. natürlich für die eigene Person passend abändern (courtesy of @[email protected] auf Mastodon). Hab ich auch gemacht, hat alles in allem 5min gebraucht.

TUT WAS! JETZT!
