Hi. Under this, we'll be adding trusted evacuation fundraisers. The situation on the ground is much more dire than you think, please share/donate.
Note: do Not mention anything related to Palestine/Gaza in donation notes, not even emojis as it freezes accounts/delays process.
@rovingrobot Yeah, I'm on the fence about staging, but Trump loves violence and has been hoping for fighting in his name, so he was absolutely trying to look as cool as possible
@oknolisten Hfdhg this is weirdly charming to me, him making a sincere effort to treat your expression of self seriously, but that was just right on the edge for him
.@POTUS' proposed asylum regulation would make an already difficult process harder for migrant families seeking safety & a better life.
We urge the President to push for actions that will welcome immigrants, not policies that will further exacerbate the situation at our border.
Since I first saw this screenshot I’ve been hungry for news about queer homelessness. I remember the stories from when I was young, and it breaks my heart queer people still don’t have housing security.
So to assuage my feelings, here are a few orgs that help feed the community
@butterstbeef 3) Because the narrative that women are universal victims & men are universal predators is so foundational to the anti-trans/TERF & Christofacist movements, any hypothetical based in said narrative is going to be a double-edged sword
Hypotheticals about women's hypervigilance over being sexually assaulted by strange men hits different when you know it's the main crutch of the anti-trans movement
@butterstbeef & like, given the state of our country, getting disabled or severe PTSD from non-sexual violence can also shatter your life (& the lives of those dependant on you) & the disabled ALSO live under the stigma that they'd be better off dead
also, I know a lot of the people picking "the bear" know about actual bears & how they generally don't want a fight & can be driven off with some yelling, but the entire undercurrent is "I'd rather be mauled to death than raped"
what would you rather encounter in the woods alone, a strange man or your boyfriend/coworker/teacher? wanna take bets on who's statistically the bigger threat
Sex workers have been warning this was the ultimate goal of ID verification bills. Information about reproductive health will most likely be the next target.
I'm actually kind of exhausted by the trend of "I'm ND & I JUST LEARNED you're not supposed to X in conversations! Why are NTs saying Y if they don't want to hear X???" because it's so often either 1) whoever taught you that was a mean liar or 2) it's actually super subjective
This is dystopian. And yet we still see the US, UK & German governments pretending that war crimes are not taking place & sending the butchers more weaponry.
