okay i'm gonna say something and you all have to give me a chance. ready?
we need to stop making fun of poor american southerners who distrust the government. it's real easy to call them all conspiracy theorists and dismiss them, but half the time, its built off of a genuine feeling of being abandoned by the infrastructure meant to keep them safe.
in appalachia, a lot of people lost their homes because of coal mining operations. a lot of people worked in those mines, and then when the mines stopped being profitable, they got tossed out with the bathwater. a lot of appalachia is poor, malnourished, and i don't blame them for not trusting rich politicians who dismiss them as stupid and lower class.
if yall actually listened to half the things poor southerners say, you'd realize that a Lot of common leftist complaints are virtually identical to the rural grandma who doesn't hold with electronic money and politicians. it stems from a genuine feeling of abandonment and ostracization by the people who run the country. functionally, someone living paycheck to paycheck in the city in a tiny apartment has infinitely more in common with someone from rural appalachia than a politician. high rent, high taxes, food insecurity, feeling lied to by those in power, a general sense of frustration. it just sounds fancier coming from a city mouth than one with shitty teeth and a southern accent.
tl;dr stop dismissing southern people as stupid. they're absolutely right not to wholeheartedly trust politicians, because they've been fucked over by them time and time again, and honestly, id rather talk to a southern person who openly distrusts their representatives than someone from the city who wholeheartedly believes that Frederick Jamestown OldMoney III genuinely cares what people think and can be convinced to change his ways.

Postcard templates
[Masterpost of resources regarding contacting the United States government about Palestine]
Here are some postcards I've sent to American politicians regarding Palestine. You can make postcards out of index cards, thin cardboard (like from cereal boxes), whatever you have on hand really.
Quantity is more important than quality - it's better to send lots of short messages rather than one long one.
These templates can also be used to leave voicemails, messages on websites, etc! Feel free to copy them word-for-word if you want!

Image description: The back of the above postcard to Joe Biden. It says, “As a constituent, I urge you to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to reinstate US funding to UNRWA immediately. Israel is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestine, which you are enabling by not calling for a ceasefire and by cutting funding to UNRWA. The situation in Gaza will only worsen if you don’t take steps to prevent it. CEASEFIRE NOW.” All mentions of a ceasefire have been underlined for emphasis. /End image description.

Image description: The back of the above postcard to Elizabeth Warren. It says, “As a constituent, I urge you to pressure the Biden administration to restore funding to UNRWA. Thousands of Palestinians, children included, are facing the threat of starvation. They are in desperate need of food, and therefore are in desperate need of a sufficient flow of humanitarian aid. I urge you to use your power as senator to do something about this awful situation.” Several parts have been underlined for emphasis: “pressure the Biden administration to restore funding to UNRWA” and “They are in desperate need of food.” /End image description.

vaguely t2b inspired thoughts: au where henry and gansey, extremely rich baby boys respectively, are trapped in the heart of a zombie-filled quarantine zone and there's a proper rescue effort to get them out because Money And Connections duh. except 90% of the military unit coming for them gets owned except for one poor man, Adam Parrish, who literally works in IT and is only here because he was promised a really nice bonus and paid college jesus he has bird bones and a deaf ear how the fuck is he going to get through this,-- and blue sargent from their private security team who will be damned if she dies protecting stupid rich boys so goddammit she WILL be surviving thank you very much

Payton is simultaneously obsessed with River in a gay way and not attracted to him in a gay way, but he wants to be close and intimate with him, hmmm 🧐🏳️‍🌈
Sounds kinda gay to me! Look at them, they are so boyfriend-coded (real)

the politician, the general, and the priest - the second triumvirate.
the triumvirate for organizing the republic, or tresviri rei publicae constituendae, was a political alliance made following the ides of march between consul gaius julius caesar octavianus (caesar’s heir and adopted son), military veteran marcus antonius (caesar’s longtime friend) and high priest marcus aemilius lepidus (caesar’s appointed deputy). the second triumvirate, unlike the first between caesar, pompey, and crassus, was officially sanctioned by the senate and allowed the three men to rule the roman republic under a military dictatorship from 43 to 32 BC.

Seeing this really somber section on the morning news about how an Australian aid worker has been killed in Gaza with the spin of like... "How could this happen? An aid worker?"
The disparity between traditional news media and what's actually happening is a wide, terrifying gulf.
