DC x DP Prompt *3*
! TW GORE !
The members of the Justice League Dark have seen many things. But nothing was so dangerous and stupid at the same time, as these laws.
Constantin was the first to hear about them. While he was dealing with more supernatural threats than normal over the last two month. After the last five being he banished - who all have screeched about white monsters who stole him -, he couldn't ignore the pattern.
He didn't get an exact answer, to who this him was, but Zatanna and Captain Marvel also heard some rumors.
After some time, they found out about the Ghost Investigation Ward and... if they didn't do something quickly there would be war. And a war with the dead would be a losing war.
Who ever they took seems to be important to the realm, so they could possibly retaliate any moment.
So while Zatanna, Superman, Aquaman and Green Arrow where discussing these laws with the president, the rest of the Justice League would summon the Ghost King to offer negotiations.
All the magicians had felt when the tyrant Pariah Dark had been dethroned. And it had been like there was fresh air for the very first time. The new king was rumored to be kind and fair, but also fiercely protective. So hopefully he would be open to talk.
They even used a form of summoning that was more of an invitation, so that he could choose not to speak to them. It wouldn't be good to further anger the realms or their king.
While they tried to summon the High King of all the realms, the gentle Tug that they sent his way was answered with a desperate hold.
It was hard to hold the spell with the being clawing metaphorically at the line. But after a far to long time the pressure eased and a rift in reality opened.
A body landed with a dull thud in the middle of the summoning circle.
Everyone in the room has seen something horrific, but even someone as stoic as the bat, seemed to be sick.
In the middle of the watchtower laid a boy, maybe sixteen. His right eye was lifeless, despite the fact that he was looking around. The other one was missing and the eyesocket was bleeding sluggishly in green. His white hair had flecks of green in it. The right hand seemed to be broken, but more concerning was his left hand. Half of his pinkie finger was missing, as was the entirety of his middle finger. The rest of his fingers were without nails. And then there was his left foot... only attached by a thin strap of flesh and muscle. But all of that was nothing in comparison with the Y-shaped wound in his torso.
All of it was so distracting that they at first all missed the crown of ice above his head. The realms had screamed at them to get their king back.
As fast as they could the heros rushed the boy king into the medbay. At least Flash was here, so that they could get everything ready asap.
And Danny?
Danny was finally able to close his eye and drift into unconscious without white, orange or teal suits hovering over him.

Palestine
Tumblr media
This is Palestine in 1947 before the occupation of their own homes Israel used their forces America gave them moneyTo kill the Palestinians and drive them out Now they suffer every day under Isralians rules
When Ukraine got bombed it was all over the news why dont we share that same energy with the Palestinians? And no one should dare bring religion into it I’ve already heard a lot by how the Muslims are terrorists no this has nothing to do with religion especially since the majority in Palestine are Christians not Muslims so why are we silent on Palestine?

The American Federal Poverty Line is absolute bullshit and I'm betting part of it is the inclusion of millionaires and billionaires etc in the census. There is no way a single person can live on less than $15k in 2023. Most places charge at least $2k per month for rent. You won't get even a year's worth from that. Add in the fact that I'm pretty sure that $15k is before taxes? No. Fuck you.
You don't give a damn about the people living in your country, the only thing you give a damn about is stuffing your pockets and tyrannical ruling until everything that doesn't fit your outdated ideals is banned again.
First, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and now, you're blocking debt relief for the people that are only in debt because of *your* system.
This country is absolutely full of bullshit, and I, personally, cannot wait for all of the elitist, misogynist, hypocritical, tyrannical fucktards in charge to be replaced by the youth of this country because THEY actually give a damn.
Fuck out of here with your encroachment on rights. At this point, voting isn't "by the people, for the people," it's pick the lesser of two evils, and half the time, there's no term limit and the fucker won't leave. They've overstayed their welcome, and they need to retire with the mountain of money that they unjustly "earned" by "representing" the American people.
The goal is not to preserve the ideals of the elders. It's to make a better future for the youth and newer generations, and the people on Capital Hill don't seem to give a damn.
Recognize the fact that you don't know everything and times are changing. New ideas and ideals form everyday, and by not letting the youth have a voice, you're keeping everyone stuck in the past. You abuse your power, and you abuse your people.
I liken this country to a crashing airplane. Only we aren't following procedure. If an airplane is going down, you first put the oxygen on yourself, and then help others. Because you can't help others if you don't first help yourself. Our country needs to focus on the problems within our country prior to attempting to help others. Its hypocritical to want them to be better when we can't even get our shit together.
And I'm not saying that those countries we aid don't need support. But I am saying that the state of our nation is rapidly declining, and instead of using our resources to correct that, we are overextending and burning ourselves out.
There are many ways to offer support, and we aren't the only country able to do so. Not that we would know if other countries are helping, because our "news" and media is so biased and skewed that the narrative is controlled in a way that fits political agenda before it fits its actual purpose. Which is disgusting in and of itself.
There need to be term limits for everyone in power.
There need to be more than the two parties represented not only in the actual government, but in the elections. Debates should include ALL candidates, not just republicans and democrats.
There needs to be a complete overhaul of the Healthcare system. No one should struggle to get the care they need, and NO ONE should have to choose between paying their bills and getting medical help. Medical should not cost so much that a person can go bankrupt.
The same goes for education. If you're going to require higher education for the jobs you want fulfilled, then you need to make it more accessible. Many people don't go to college because they can't afford it. Oh, you want us to take out loans? Remind us about the debt relief that
You
Just
Blocked
And ask us again, if we think it's worth it. The current debt relief systems available are ridiculously hard to qualify for, so it's no wonder that the citizens are in debt. Let's not mention the fact that the government is *also* in debt because they keep lending out money they don't *actually* have.
This country is literally the exact thing we fought against in the revolutionary War.
This is taxation without representation.
You don't hear from the lower and middle classes. Everyone in power has the funds to get there. Has the money to do whatever the fuck they want without consequences. And what does that say about our nation, truly?
We have an astronomically high number of homeless.
More people become homeless everyday because of the debt the people in power force upon them.
Politics is not about helping the people in this country. It's about forcing your will and wants upon those who can't stop you.
You love to act as though this country is run perfectly and there aren't any problems. You know why?
Because you're the problem.
Now I'm going to go get off of social media again because this bullshit has ruined my day.
Thanks a lot, America.
Edit: AND FUCK THE FOURTH OF JULY BECAUSE THAT'S CELEBRATING THE INDEPENDENCE WE DON'T HAVE. THATS CELEBRATING THE COUNTRY THAT DOESNT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT US.
now I'm done.

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:
reading a fucking book. i beg of you.
in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.
read about americas occupations in the middle east.
read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.
read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.
and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.
dont look away from this.
you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.
if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.
you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.
wake the fuck up.
Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

the genocide is fucking crazy bc at the end of the day it's so extremely xenophobic. like it is genuinely unthinkable for this to happen to a western or white-passing country. it would be shut down so quick

I like that a big part of the Sambucky relationship is often just Sam giving Bucky full permission to be a little fucked up. Not in the sense that he recognizes his mental problems, but also because he sometimes just shrugs and allows Bucky's worst instincts to take over. (Which is mostly a fandom thing, but a small part of canon too, since Sam went with Bucky's plan to free Zemo with very little push-back, for example..)
It gave me the idea for a story where after Hydra everyone around Bucky wants him to move on from his traumas and heal, but Sam gives him the space to also be furious and unhinged about that. Like... all the other people would say: "what they did to you was awful, but the best revenge is to live a happy life <3". And Sam's like... "no, the best revenge is to wake them up with a gun to the temple in the middle of the night and to burn down their home, actually. here's a lighter, are you free this weekend, handsome?".
I don't mean to say that other people don't understand Bucky's anger, but they believe it'd be healthier for him to deal with the pain only by finding hobbies, adopting a pet, eating nice food etc. Whereas Sam offers all those things with an extra dose of pure vengeance. One night he takes Bucky out to a nice restaurant. The next night he stands aside as Bucky beats the shit out of some doctor, who experimented on him in 1989 and then helps him cover it up.
This dynamic would probably work better in a AU with no powers where they're regular people and where Bucky's been kidnapped or integrated into a cult that ruined his life. But it could apply to the canon too, in some ways.
I just like the the idea of all the well-meaning people in Bucky life trying to put as big of a distance between him and his abusers as possible... While Sam - who everyone sees as a rational almost-pacifist with a lot of empathy - helps his boyfriend hunt these abusers for sport.

A post from Facebook:
IF YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO ABORTION, DELETE ME. I respect your beliefs, but I have no place in my life for someone who cannot respect other people's choices. I am not pro-abortion. Personally, I could never have one myself. HOWEVER, I am pro-choice. PRO-CHOICE IS *NOT* PRO-ABORTION. IT IS RESPECTING PEOPLE'S RIGHTS TO CHOOSE WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THEM. IT IS NOT MY PLACE OR BUSINESS WHAT THEY CHOOSE TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES.
If you want to say it's about religion, guess what? GOD KILLED JESUS, HIS OWN SON. *AND* IN THE *BIBLE* THERE ARE ABORTIONS FOR ADULTERERS. See: https://www.bible.com/bible/111/num.5.11-28.NIV
If you want to say it's about the baby, guess what?
NOT ALL ABORTIONS ARE BECAUSE MOTHERS DONT LOVE THEIR CHILDREN. Some mothers have to choose to get abortions because their babies are developing incorrectly and will not survive outside of the womb. Some mothers get abortions because they can't provide for the baby or are in a dangerous situation (such as an abusive relationship), so they get it to protect their child. Before you insert yourself into other people's business, consider that it they may have a good reason. And even if they don't, ITS STILL NOT YOUR BUSINESS.
Think about this: you cannot use organs from a dead person to save a living person's life without them being an organ donor.
SO WHY DO PREGNANT WOMEN HAVE TO CARRY WHAT IS BASICALLY A PARASITE (TO THEM) AND LOSE THIER BODILY AUTONOMY TO SAVE WHAT *YOU* CONSIDER A LIVING PERSON?
Corpses should not have more rights than *ANY* living person.
Read that again.
CORPSES SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN ANY LIVING PERSON.
Looking at statistics, and the reason abortions were made legal in the first place, abortions won't go away with this law. *Safe* abortions will, and our death rates will rise.
Did you know, even for mother's who carry full term, we have one of, if not THE highest mortality rate for pregnant women, especially while giving birth?
Instead of taking away the right to abortion, which could save people's lives, maybe we should *first* focus on what we are doing wrong.
Healthcare should be available to everyone, regardless of whether or not they can pay. The fact anyone can think otherwise disgusts me. Money does NOT determine a person's worth, and it should not determine whether or not they can see a doctor. And no, I'm not saying raise taxes. I'm saying we ALREADY pay a ridiculous amount, so try budgeting better and helping your people INSTEAD of stuffing your pockets.
We should have a lower mortality rate in the delivery room, especially when other countries can achieve it.
We already know that we have a high rate of school shootings, so if you want to loosen restrictions, start charging the people who provided the gun WITH the person who did the shooting. If someone is unstable enough to shoot a bunch of people, then they shouldn't have had access to guns in the first place. Either you didn't guard your gun well enough OR there was not a thorough enough mental evaluation prior to the sale of the gun.
AND IM SORRY, BUT DISNEY HAS BOMB ASS REVOLUTION SONGS IF WE GO TO WAR. YALL WILL HEAR ME SCREAMING FLESH AND BONE FROM ZOMBIES 2 AND I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE FOR IT.
P.s. this post has been made public because I am not ashamed. And if people want to share, they can. It has also been pinned, so everyone knows that if they don't respect people's rights to choose, they are not welcome in my life. Sorry, not sorry.

it is imp to remember that this is not about religion and the ethnic cleansing of artsakh proves this. all oppressive regimes are connected regardless of religion and that is why azerbaijan and israel have good relations. another example is saudi arabia having good relations with america and israel while also killing other muslims in yemen.
interestingly, like israel, saudi also uses religion to gain credibility (recently got holy mosque imam to give statement condemning boycotts and encouraging muslims to not be involved in the situation in palestine) and recruit muslim supporters from all over the world, while simultaneously killing/imprisoning muslim critics of the kingdom.
similarly, israel sells itself as a safe haven for jews and convinces jews around the world to migrate to israel while also simultaneously criminalizing antizionist jews all over the world, even suggesting that theyre not 'real jews' (reminiscent of takfirism which is a core part of saudi wahabi ideology) [ fun fact: the house of saud came into power in arabia with help from the british, just like the zionists in palestine! ]
oppressive regimes are directly connected and mirror each other in several ways. this is why liberation and resistance movements need to unite and work together across the world
