A petition to the UK Parliament for the protection of Trans Healthcare has just gone live. If you are in the United Kingdom, please sign and share. If you are not in the United Kingdom, please just share.
May the last few days of April conspire in your favor.
i found a website that is arranging protests against what's been happening with the US government lately and it has this lovely map that shows you all the times and places these protests will take place. and then it asked me to rsvp, put in my first and last name, my phone number, and email... that is a lot of information to give about yourself when it comes to standing up against the people who own the police. be careful out there gang. its getting warmer outside so i imagine a lot of people are arranging protests. dont get phished!
bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies
I think the historical treatment of left handed people is objectively the funniest form of bigotry mankind has ever displayed
all the love you’ve given out in your life, i hope it all comes back around to you
working in landlord/tenant law, the one thing that has genuinely surprised me is how many landlords straight up do not follow housing regulations in a variety of ways (I've seen people charging first and last month's rent which is illegal where I am, not posting required notices, not registering the unit, etc.) and all of these things are affirmative defenses if they ever try to evict you for any reason. but how would the average person know that.
anyway I very strongly urge you to look into the basics of housing regulations in your city and state (many times cities have more strict laws than the state, for instance LA where I live has quite a few explicitly pro-tenant ordinances that are not applicable to the rest of CA) just to inform yourself and to be aware of this stuff. if you need help lmk
it’s 2028. trump is dead. elon is dead. zuckerberg is dead bezos is dead they’re all dead
I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)
The more that the deportation system in your country is fast, cruel, and not subject to appeal the easier it is for people to say,
"Accept my bad actions or you'll be deported."
This applies equally to legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, and people who are temporarily in the country seeking asylum, visas, etc.
I do not understand why people find this confusing.
If you're here on a work visa, and the consequence for being fired is that you are immediately spirited off to a concrete cell which is lit 24/7 and you aren't allowed to contact anybody and eventually they ship you off to an arbitrary city without any of your possessions,
Then your employer has a ton of leverage to say, "Yes we are making you work unpaid overtime and ignoring our supposed obligations under the contract you signed, but if you complain we'll fire you and good luck contesting it from inside your cell or from another country while you look for housing and a job."
That is how "strong border enforcement" creates an underclass.
People seem to respond to this by pretending I'm talking purely about illegal border crossings by people without visas and then explaining that it's fine to go round those people up. Which is simply beside the point.
Honestly border policy appears to involve simply ignoring how immigration works and pretending the policy only applies to criminals crossing the border without a visa.
Nutrition and education go hand in hand.
Starving children is a conservative tactic to lower test scores in vulnerable communities.
Student lunch debt is right-wing sadism.
i heart weed, transgenderism, and jacking off (preferably at the same time)
puppy's gonna need a smoke and a drink and a solid brick to the head ok?
Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.
Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.
Here is your mission.
