Falling out of love is one thing but slowly realizing your friend isn't a good person/not in alignment with you and needs to be let go is a pain that isn't talked about enough
lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.
The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.
Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.
But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.
We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.
Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.
We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.
It’s interesting that people don’t directly link their loneliness or lack of community with their unwillingness to show up for or feel any sense of obligation to others.
i have a lot more respect for people who say “i am scared and i don’t know what else to do” re: voting for kamala than people who pretend, on any level, that she is a genuinely good candidate who cares about people’s rights
@birrion@plsnoratiodemi respectfully, most of the proletariat is going to blame people like you for a second trump presidency, not feel inspired to follow your leadership. why not organize under KH since her policies are closer to our goals? this just feels like giving up with plausible deniability
if your friends are throwing around this slur, make them watch The Peanut Butter Falcon. it's a really sweet feel-good movie, on netflix rn, and it will gently but directly remind ppl of what this slur means and how harmful it is
REALLY don’t like how the r slur is coming back into the mainstream lexicon, especially in queer and ostensibly “leftist” spaces…….. can we collectively agree to bully and shun the people who use it or something
The Democratic Party is really going to lose yet another easily winnable election by running yet another awful, murderous candidate with awful, murderous policies and then blame their loss on everyone in America who is a better person than they are.
Netanyahu is committing human rights abuses over and over again—bombing hospitals, burning Palestinians alive, blocking food aid, and killing aid workers.
This evil genocide must end and President Biden has to stop enabling it. That starts with cutting off military aid.
