there are filipino taxpayers who work day in and day out, backbreaking jobs and merciless hours, to earn honest money through honest means—who will NEVER in their lives see the amount of money these criminals have STOLEN from us.
many of us, even the middle class, will work our ENTIRE LIVES and never be able to afford the things these criminals flaunt so shamelessly.
the government that is supposed to serve the people, steals not just money but our lives and the futures of our families.

A cop takes aim and fires at someone who is VISIBLY a journalist, with her back turned to him and only a microphone in hand. She was off to one side, doing her job, she did not approach the cops, she did not move from her spot, she was not a threat. What the actual fuck.
🚨Freedom Flotilla Official Update🚨
It's time for our governments to do their jobs and sanction Israel whose illegal attack on 'Madleen' while sailing in international waters is a small extension of their war crimes in Gaza.
Governments, institutions, media, and corporations must stop protecting Israel, now. They must stop prioritising profit over human lives, now. Protect our volunteers while protecting Palestinians in Gaza and wider Palestine.

The humanitarian crew of the Freedom Flotilla have been surrounded by Israeli ships and kidnapped.
We need to sound the alarm. Get #AllEyesOnFreedomFlotilla#AllEyesOnMadleen trending. Pressure international government leaders to step in. This is not a drill.
This is how you handle a tear gas canister. Pour water around the canister. That’s to help seal the base of the traffic cone used to contain it. Then you douse it from the top and cover it. It’s extremely effective.
I don't care if the tech bros think it makes their service better, I want to be able to opt out. I want to be able to use Google search without consuming extra water for an AI summary I didn't ask for.
there is no pride without queer Palestinians, there is no pride without queers Sudanese, there is no pride without the queer people in the countries you are hesitant to speak up for because "they are queerphobic," Pride for all or pride for none.
In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.
Laging tandaan na hindi sa eleksyon nagtatapos ang laban ng masang pilipino kasama ang Makabayan Bloc.
Araw-araw pa rin silang lalaban hanggang sa makuha natin ang tunay na demokrasya ng Pilipinas.
Makabayan Bloc laban ulit sa susunod na halalan! ✊🏻🥹
keeping all kashmiri, indian, and pakistani civilians in my thoughts. innocent people feel the affects of war more than anyone else. they don’t deserve this. everyone should be calling for de-escalation and a ceasefire.
We are praying for the safety of those affected by the fighting between India and Pakistan. We wish you all comfort in these times of darkness and hope that all civilians are safe.
